NutraSweet
Artificial sweetener brand
NutraSweet is a brand name for aspartame, an artificial sweetener widely used in diet sodas, sugar-free foods, and tabletop sweeteners.
Introduced in the 1980s, it became synonymous with low-calorie sweetening: Does this have NutraSweet in it?
The name suggests nutritious sweetness, though aspartame has faced persistent health controversy.
