What is the name of the sugar in Non Diet cola?

Aspartame is the most common sweetener (not sugar) that is used in diet drinks... this is over 200 times sweeter than sucrose or glucose, therefore you need 200 times less aspartame to get the same level of sweetness

How many times sweeter is aspartame than sucrose?

Aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). This high sweetness intensity allows for smaller quantities to be used in food and beverages, making it a popular low-calorie sweetener. Its sweetness profile is often described as similar to that of sugar, which contributes to its widespread use in various products.


What is the effect of aspartame on teeth?

Asparatame is considered an alternative sweetener. Alternative sweeteners are essentially calorie-free and at least 30 times sweeter than sucrose. There currently are five alternative sweeteners approved for use in the United States: saccharin, acesulfame-K, sucralose, aspartame and neotame. Aspartame is composed of two naturally occurring amino acids (the building blocks of protein) - phenylalanine and aspartate. Aspartame has a flavor similar to sucrose, and also functions as a taste intensifier and enhancer. Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sucrose and has no aftertaste. A packet of this sweetener is equivalent in sweetness to two teaspoons of sugar (32 calories), for just four calories. Products that contain aspartame must carry a warning to people with phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder that prevents proper metabolism of phenylalanine. Unlike the alternate sweeteners saccharin, cyclamate acesulfame K, neotame and sucralose, which have no nutritional value, aspartame contributes calories. This is due to the fact that it can be used by the body just as any other protein, but the amounts are so small that its caloric value is insignificant. Aspartame does not contribute to tooth decay.
