Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener that is commonly used in diet sodas and other sugar-free products. It is made from two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, which are naturally found in many foods. Aspartame is known for its intense sweetness, as it is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. Despite its sweet taste, aspartame does not contribute to tooth decay and has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it a popular choice for those who are watching their sugar intake.
