synthetic sweetener
Lab-made sugar substitute
A synthetic sweetener is an artificially produced substance that tastes sweet but contains few or no calories.
Unlike sugar, synthetic sweeteners are manufactured through chemical processes rather than extracted from plants.
Common examples include aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose.
Diet sodas use synthetic sweeteners instead of sugar.
The term often appears in food labeling and nutrition discussions.
