Is it allowed to take Saccharin during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Calcium saccharin and other related salts, sodium and potassium, are potent sweeteners. They are excreted into breast milk in very small amount, which makes the infant may receive at most a dose of 0.26 mg / kg / day, which is well below the maximum recommended dose suggested by the FDA (5 mg / kg / day). There is controversy on the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of saccharin, since though when administered to animals it does appear genotoxicity at large doses, no evidence of its occurrence in human populations with regular consumption of saccharin has been found. Moderate intake is compatible with breastfeeding.
