1. from wikipedia: History --- [Sodium] Cyclamate was discovered in 1937 at the University of lllinois by graduate student Michael Sveda. Sveda was working in the lab on the synthesis of an antipyretic drug. He put his cigarette down on the lab bench, and when he put it back in his mouth, he discovered the sweet taste of cyclamate.
