A low-calorie sweetener known as aspartame has a pleasant flavour but, when taken in moderation, neither natural sugars nor calories are present. Aspartame was created in 1965 and has undergone extensive testing by both government-funded and private laboratories. Even though its safety is still being debated, you can currently find it in thousands of foods all over the world. Aspartic acid and phenylalanine, two naturally occurring amino acids, make up the very straightforward chemical compound known as Aspartame. It resembles a fine white powder and has a sweetness that is over 200 times greater than sucrose, or sugar. While aspartame is not entirely calorie-free, the modest amounts required to sweeten foods and beverages to the same extent as table sugar do not raise the calorie count.
