How many hydrogen atoms are present in 2.43 g of aspartame?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To find the number of hydrogen atoms in 2.43 g of aspartame, calculate the number of moles of aspartame using its molar mass. Aspartame has a molar mass of 294.3 g/mol. Then, determine the number of moles of hydrogen atoms in one molecule of aspartame (the chemical formula of aspartame is C14H18N2O5). Finally, multiply the number of moles of aspartame by the number of moles of hydrogen atoms to find the total number of hydrogen atoms in 2.43 g of aspartame.

Asked by Abusedbliss

The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for Aspartame is 40 mg per kg of body weight. For example, a 70 kg person can safely consume 2800 mg of Aspartame per day. This is equivalent to roughly 14 cans of diet soda. It is important to monitor total intake from all sources to ensure you are within safe limits.

Does aspartame increase insulin levels?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO! The blood glucose effect is statistically INSIGNIFICANT!! This is a myth. This concerned me as I am trying to lose weight and several studies have been done, however the one below I feel is the clearest.

Twelve normal subjects and 10 subjects with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were given, in random order at intervals of greater than or equal to 1 wk, three drinks of the same beverage: one unsweetened, one sweetened with 400 mg aspartame, and one sweetened with 135 mg saccharin. The amount of sweetener approximated that in 1 L of sugar-free soft drink. Plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon were measured for 3 h after ingestion of the test beverage. Plasma glucose declined slightly throughout the test period, probably due to fasting, with no differences between the three treatments. Neither sweetener affected peak insulin levels in subjects with or without diabetes. Analysis of area under the curve showed that mean insulin levels were statistically significantly higher after aspartame than after saccharin or unsweetened beverage in normal subjects only, but the magnitude of the difference was small and unlikely to be of physiological importance in the absence of differences in glucose levels. Furthermore, the differences could largely be accounted for by a decrease in insulin values after both unsweetened beverage and saccharin, with no change from baseline after aspartame. Glucagon levels showed time-to-time variation but no overall differences. We conclude that ingestion of aspartame- or saccharin-sweetened beverages by fasting subjects, with or without diabetes, did not affect blood glucose homeostasis.

What are the disadvantages of aspartame?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are conflicting stories about Aspartame and it's effects on the body. Some researchers claim it can cause neurological(brain -central nervous system) problems but there has never been any scientific proof to absolutely support these claims. AS with anything the body takes in,,,,,moderation. It was found when the swordfish - mercury scare started that a person would need to eat several pounds of it for months for any real significant trace would be found. It is always the safest to be careful and that is up to the consumer. I use "Nutra Sweet" all of the time. 4 or 5 packets a day and have for years...I have no problems.
