Foods, and the ingredients of foods, may be considered substances. However, more precisely, most are combinations of chemical substances. Ordinary salt (sodium chloride) is a pure substance, while pepper contains numerous chemical compounds, each of which can be considered a separate "substance."

Often, the replacement substances can actually do more harm to your body than the fats and sugars themselves. More often than not, diet foods have taken out the traditional ingredients and replaced them with a chemically modified version of the original. The problem is that these substances are not recognized by the body as food and are therefore treated as toxins.
