Sweeter than sugar but zero calories? The mechanism and precautions of synthetic sweeteners.

■What are synthetic sweeteners? Synthetic sweeteners are artificially blended sweet components that do not exist in nature. Unlike natural sweeteners like sugar, they are characterized by being chemically produced. Aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, saccharin, and neotame are known as the main types. ■What foods are they used in? They are used in a wide range of foods, including soft drinks, candies, and processed foods, and are found in many items we consume daily. By checking the ingredient list on food packaging, you may find these component names. ■Are there both benefits and precautions? They are used in low-calorie and zero-calorie products, and since they are sweeter than sugar, a small amount can provide sweetness. They are also said to help suppress post-meal blood sugar spikes and prevent cavities. While this may seem entirely positive, excessive intake can lead to constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, so it is important to be cautious about the amount consumed.
