The Influence of Saccharin on the Blood‐Sugar

Author:

Abstract
Summary.: It is shown that saccharin and other sweetening agents may produce a slight fall of the blood‐sugar value; the phenomenon is not a constant one, it occurs more frequently after washing the mouth with the solution than after drinking it. No reaction was observed after administration of saccharin by duodenal tube. It is supposed that the reaction is released via the gustatory nerves.
