Aspartame is an artificial sweetener used as a sugar substitute in many low-calorie and sugar-free foods and beverages. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar and is composed of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Aspartame is commonly found in products like diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and various low-calorie snacks. While it is deemed safe for the general population, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid it due to their inability to metabolize phenylalanine.
