eli5: Why do companies combine several types of sweeteners instead of increasing the amount of one?
In: Chemistry
As well as the aftertaste comment, another reason is if you use just one sweetener, or even just plain old sugar, it will be one of first ingredients listed on the packed (maybe even the top ingredient). However if you use three different sweeteners, they each will appear much further down the list, giving the impression that it is healthier/more natural.
