Aspartame vs. Sugar?
The reason why aspartame is beneficial for use is because it is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. Therefore a very small amount is required to achieve the same level of sweetness without the added calories or change in blood sugar levels, making it ideal for controlling weight and blood sugar.

Although a lot of misunderstanding surrounds the ingredient, aspartame is among the most studied and reviewed ingredient and has been extensively tested, proven safe, and approved by all regulatory agencies around the globe with leading health organizations from the American Diabetes
Association to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics condoning its use too.

An important fact about aspartame is that its three components (aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol) are naturally found in similar or greater quantities in common foods that are regularly consumed as part of a balanced diet. This includes dairy product, meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. In addition, both aspartic acid and phenylalanine are amino acids (protein) needed for growth and body maintenance. Therefore, whether these three components come from aspartame or from a naturally occurring food source they are broken down and used in the body in the same way.

As a result of this and the vast body of evidence supporting the safety of aspartame, consumers should have every confidence in enjoying aspartame containing products without fear of adverse health effects.
