artificial sweetener
Calorie-free sugar alternative
An artificial sweetener is a synthetic substance that tastes sweet but contains few or no calories.
Saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose are common examples, used in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and low-calorie foods.
Some occur naturally but are manufactured for commercial use.
