can you tell me if sweetex contains ASPARTAME many thanks Bill
It could be used depending on what you are baking. A better substitute would be Stevia.
It is actually Aspartame, a sweetner used as a sugar substitute.
Diet soda doesn't have sugar. It has sugar substitute like nutrasweet or aspartame.
No but is very bad for your body and sugar is probably a better choice than aspartame.
Not at all. There is nothing organic in aspartame! Sugar is actually much better for you than aspartame. If you want reasons ask me.
aspartame, saccharin, sorbitol, acesulfame, sodium cyclamate, xylitol, fructose, etc.
No it's not. Normal sugar is better.
Aspartame, the sugar substitute, is the controversial chemical that some believe can cause cancer.
There are different ingredients in every different type of Oreo or Oreo product. Aspartame is a sugar substitute commonly found in 'reduced sugar' or 'sugar-free' products. Unless the brand you're referring to is 'lite' or 'sugar-free' it most likely contains only sugar, corn syrup, or some other sweetener.
Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar. One tablespoon of sugar is approximately equivalent to 0.5 grams of aspartame and has 97% fewer calories than sugar.
aspartame
Original Answer: "Yes. The ingredients in SWEETEX ® (brand) are: Partially hydrogenated Soybean and Palm Oils with Mono- And Di-Glycerides added" There appears to be a brand of shortening called Sweetex, which this answer relates to. Of course it doesn't help you. The Sweetex you are referring to is a saccharin-based artificial sweetener. I can't find any ingredients listing online, you might have to check the back of a container. Sweetex contains according too the packet is Sodium Saccharin Anticakeing agents (Sillicon Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate). Rather then use Sweetex it would be better to use organic sugar and be carefull of the amounts used
