Sweeteners

Sweeteners are substances used to add a sweet taste to foods and drinks without the calories or sugars found in regular sugar. They include natural options like stevia and artificial ones like aspartame or saccharin. Sweeteners are often used by people managing weight or blood sugar levels, such as diabetics. While some are derived from natural sources, others are synthetically created. They are generally considered safe in moderation but can vary in taste and how they affect health. Overall, sweeteners provide a way to enjoy sweet flavors with reduced calorie intake.
