ELIF: How do consumables that claim to have no sugar still taste somewhat sweet?
In: Chemistry
there are several chemicals that trigger your sweet tastebuds but do not actually absorb in your small intestine or is able to be used by your cells for energy. that’s what substitute sweeteners are. there are 2 kinds of substitute sweeteners: natural and artificial. natural substitute sweeteners are refined from a plant, examples are Stevia, Monkfruit, Erythiritol aka sugar alcohol, and Allulose. artificial ones are made in a lab, examples are aspartame, sucralose, sacharin, . there is not enough good evidence comparatively of health benefits of either natural over artificial. pick either side, still better for you than sugar.
