Since its introduction in France in 1979, aspartame has grown to be
the world's most popular sweetener. Aspartame is made from two amino
acids, which are the building blocks of all protein. Because aspartame
has a
clean, sweet taste but virtually no calories, it is the ideal alternative
to sugar. Aspartame is sugar-free, contains virtually no calories,
and can contribute to a good dental health. Although products with aspartame
are of special benefit to diabetics and have proved efficient in slimming
products, they are widely used by people who simply want to maintain
a
well-balanced, healthy diet. Aspartame is used in food products and
beverages such as dairy products and soft drinks.
