Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and is commonly found in 'diet' or 'sugar-free' products. The safety of aspartame has been a subject of extensive research and debate, with some studies suggesting potential correlations with health issues.
The famous ones are spartame and sucralose.
