7、ood or Bad?Saccharin(糖精) is the only truly man-made sweetener. It was discovered by accident 100 years ago in an experiment with coal tar(煤焦油). In the experiment, a scientist got some substance (which later he knew was saccharin) on his finger. “Later, at dinner, he put his finger into his mouth and

8、 noticed the sweet taste,” says Eric Walters, professor of biochemistry at the Chicago Medical School.Containing no calories, saccharin is not absorbed by the human body.

In 1990, saccharin was allowed to be sold in the market again.Because it is hundreds of times sweeter than table sugar, only a small amount of saccharin is used at home, in restaurants or in the food-making industry.Another sweeten

11、er we commonly use is aspartame(甜味剂). It is not so sweet as saccharin, but much sweeter than table sugar. Unlike saccharin, however, aspartame can be absorbed into the body. It contains 4 calories per gram, the same as table sugar. But aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sugar.Although aspartame is

Nevertheless, people allow its use in all foods and drinks.“In my opinion, aspartame is as safe as sugarbut then there are those who think white sugar is dangerous,” says Walters. “Between aspartame and saccharin,

13、I would pick aspartame. But at normal use levels, I think saccharin is safe too.”16 When talking about saccharin and aspartame, Eric Walters most probably thinks that aspartame is safer than saccharin.

Overcrowding combined with poor reliability can lead to problems for travelers, particularly those who use the Tube during its busiest hours.2. This report looks at serv

18、ice and safety on the Underground. Its based on the findings of our survey of passengers. Last June e interviewed 1,698 Tube travelers outside 46 Underground stations in London; 517 regular travelers were contacted again and asked more detailed questions by phone.3.

Well over half of the regular travelers said they were dissatisfied with the information provided when something goes wrong on the system. 72 per cent of those who

23、were dissatisfied complained that the information was wrong or given too late. 49 per cent couldnt hear or understand what was said. LU told us that a new system has been installed, which should mean clearer messages. However, the new system applies only to messages broadcast within stations. Those
