Sweeteners, often referred to as sugar substitutes, are food additives used to impart sweetness to various products while reducing or eliminating the need for sugar. They come in various forms, including natural options like stevia and artificial ones like aspartame. These additives are particularly useful for individuals who need to manage their sugar intake due to health concerns or dietary preferences. Sweeteners provide the sweet taste desired in foods and beverages without the added calories and potential negative health effects associated with regular sugar consumption. They're widely used in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products, such as diet sodas, sugar-free desserts, and sugar alternatives for cooking and baking.
