Coffee Creamer, Sugar Free, French Vanilla

Acesulphame Potassium (950): is an artificial sweetener, 200 times sweeter than sugar but has no caloric value at all as the body cannot metabolise it. It resembles sugar as a white crystal. It has a higher melting point than other sugar substitutes; this property makes it a good choice to use in baking. It is cheaper to produce than sugar and as the demand for sugar-free, light and low carbohydrate foods has risen, so has the demand for artificial sweeteners. Like other chemical sweeteners is has a bitter aftertaste so is often combined with other sweeteners or sugar to mask this. It is approved by the FDA for use in food, but many people believe it has potential deleterious human health effects. test
