ASPARTAME

Brand names: Nutrasweet®, Equal®, Sugar Twin®(blue box), Sweet'n'Low®

Aspartame is a synthetic sweetener made up of two naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Aspartame is broken down by the body in the same way as other protein compounds in foods. Like other proteins, it provides calories, but because Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar, only very small amounts are needed to sweeten a food or drink. As a result, it adds practically no calories to the product it sweetens.
