1) what artificial sweeteners are
Artificial sweeteners are chemical sugar substitutes added to some drinks and foods to boost sweetness.
2) what they do for the foods they’re in
They provide ‘intense sweetness’ since they taste like normal sugar but numerous times sweeter. However, the amount used is too small to add calories to the food they are in.
3) what foods they’re typically found in
- Puddings
- Dairy products
- Canned foods
- Candy
- Baked goods
- Soft drinks and beverages
4) any health implications from consuming them
Excessive natural sweeteners consumption can result in health problems, including weight gain associated with lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and heart issues. It can also cause tooth decay, preventing proper nutrition as you may be forced to select only what is chewable. Sweeteners in alcohols contain laxative properties, leading to intestinal gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
