If it’s sweet and doesn’t have sugar in it, then what alternative substance do they use?

And why are foods that aren’t even sweet have a few bits of sugar in them? Not that you ‘d notice but its there

Sugarless sweet things usually contain a sugar substitute such as aspartame, saccharine, or stevia extract.

Sugary things that aren’t sweet usually contain something sour that opposes the sweetness, such as lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid.
