Aspartame

As of 2017, aspartame was the artificial sweetener used in Diet Coke.

No it's not. Normal sugar is better.

These are both artificial sweeteners. Aspartame is used in soft drinks and sugar-free gum, while saccharin is used mostly in lollies and drinks and is what is usually in the little sweetener packets at cafes.

They are both many times sweeter than normal white sugar and there is always a lot of controversy about them being bad for your health - ie cancer causing.

Yes. In 2005 Coca-Cola made a soda with Splenda instead of aspartame. It also has zero calories.

Not enough to count in calories, unless you are eating a whole box a day. Maybe 10 in the whole box, but here's the thing. Some diabetics, incliding me, get a blood sugar spike from aspartame and other artificial sweetners, just as I would from sugar . If that is a concern for you, do a random check 20-30 min after eating the gum and see for yourself if you have this idiosyncratic reaction.

yes it has 50 mg's of it

Yes, Sonic does use aspartame as a sweetener in their sweet tea, particularly in their diet options. However, the regular sweet tea is typically sweetened with sugar. It's always a good idea to check with the specific location or the menu for the most accurate information on ingredients.

The chemical formula for aspartame is C14H18N2O5. The molar mass is 294.30 g mol−1. If we have 2.50 mg of aspartame, we have 8.495 x 10^-6 mol of aspartame. There are 6.022 x 10 ^23 molecules in a mole so we have 5.116 x 10 ^18 aspartame molecules. There are 18 H atoms per aspartame molecule so there are 9.028 x 10^19 H atoms present in 2.50 mg of aspartame.

No other consumable substance on the face of the earth has been studied more than aspartame. Over 30 years and over 200 scientific studies (the REAL kind, with words like "double-blind," "placebo-controlled," and "randomized" in their titles) have proven, re-proven, and reaffirmed, that aspartame is safe.

Researchers have spent a great deal of time reviewing every claim by people who believe that aspartame causes everything from MS (which, by the way, no one knows the cause, and has been documented for over 200 years, LONG before aspartame was even invented) to migraines and bulging eyes. Not a single claim of any cause has panned out under true scientific scrutiny. If you do have "proof" that aspartame causes any sort of disorder, look through your proof and see if there are any scientific studies that were done. Scientific studies use the big words above -- randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind. Those tenets of a true scientific study ensure that there is no bias in the group and that the substance is tested against a "placebo," or a control substance. In essence, if there is no appreciable difference between the group which took the tested substance and the group which took a placebo, you can say that the substance did not appreciably contribute to those people developing the symptom in question.

Now, to more of the scientific detail. Aspartame is a compound made of two ingredients: aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. When aspartame is consumed, it is broken down in the body into three components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. These three substances are then absorbed by the body and used in natural body processes, the same way your body uses those three substances when they are derived from food. None of the components of aspartame, nor aspartame itself, builds up in the body. The amounts of the three substances derived from aspartame are far smaller than you would get from food as well. For example, if you were to have a glass of tomato juice, you'd get about six times the methanol than you'd get from an aspartame-sweetened drink of roughly the same size. A glass of skim milk would give you six times the phenylalanine and thirteen times the aspartic acid you'd get from an equivalent aspartame-sweetened drink.

In short, hundreds of scientific studies over the past three decades have all resulted in the same outcome, and the same conclusion: aspartame is safe.

The chemical formula for aspartame is C14H18N2O5. The molar weight is 294.3 grams/mol, so there are .00001699 moles of aspartame. Using Avogadro's number, there are 1.023 E19 molecules, each containing 18 hydrogen atoms. So there are 1.842 E20 atoms of hydrogen.

No, Acesulfame K is an artificial sweetener which offers none of the benefits of Vitamin K. The full name for it is "Acesulfame Potassium." The is used to K represents Potassium, to shorten the name.

Some say that this sweetener actually hinders brain development and/or actually causes brain damage. This claim has not been evaluated by the FDA, which some would say is a "convenient" oversight.

It does in me.

Caffeine is not listed anywhere on the ingredients label.

No, Sweet n Low is made from granulated saccharin and also contains dextrose and cream of tartar.

There are two types of acids in carbonated beverages: phosphoric acid and citric acid. Aspartame hydrolysis can be hastened by either of them, as aspartame hydrolysis is hastened by acidic environments, regardless of what type of acid is making that environment acidic.

Most likely, or any number of other sugar substitutes.

Though aspartame is supposed to be safe and is not a sugar, there is evidence that it is not safe for consumption for consumers in general. Before consuming drinks that contain aspartame, consult your doctor or a nutritionist.

yes; but within the gov. guide lines

There is no solid evidence that suggests that ingesting normal quantities of aspartame leads to health problems. However, aspartame is not a normal part of the human diet. Furthermore, the FDA's ultimate approval of aspartame as a food additive is highly suspicious. For some insight into how aspartame passed the FDA approval process, go to the link below:

Very very little gum doesn't have Aspartame in it. Mainly bubble gum has no aspartame but I found some aspartame in Hubba Bubba.

yes coke has a lot of aspartame as well as caffeine, calories, and other stuff
