According to Science Service, though, the practice has been going on for twenty years. Saccharin lipstick was first tried experimentally in 1925, and now one ton of the chemical is used every year. But the substance is go potent that daily one two-hundredth of a gram goes into each lipstick...
...volatile ones are both tasted and smelled. But why they taste or smell the way they do is still unknown. The chemical characteristics of a compound may have little to do with its taste. Cane sugar (sucrose) contains only carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, but it tastes much like saccharin, whose quite different molecule has nitrogen and sulphur atoms...
...Monsanto, technological upheavals were an old experience. When roughhewn John Francis Queeny formed the St. Louis company in 1901 (he named it Monsanto after his Spanish-Portuguese wife), it was for the purpose of making saccharin. In rapid succession he branched out into medicines and industrial chemicals and dyes. By 1928, when his son Edgar Monsanto Queeny took over, Monsanto had four plants, was grossing a comfortable $6,150,000 a year...
Since sentimentalists in great numbers are always among even such intelligent audiences as TIME'S readers, you have done me a great service by reviewing The Pursuit oj Robert Emmet [TIME, Feb. 23] as though it were a curl-up book suggestive of saccharin and Irish honey. For this I am truly and deeply grateful...
...People ignorant of scientific method, says Author Baker, are "apt to imagine that a substitute for sugar would be discovered by a research undertaken for the purpose of finding a substitute for sugar." Not at all, he snorts; saccharin was actually discovered by two chemists engaged in a wholly irrelevant attempt to make orthosulfobenzoic acid from orthotoluene-sulfonic acid...
