Aspartame
Aspartame was discovered in 1965. Aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than sugar and is a low-calorie sweetener. However, its sweetening power is so intense that very little is needed and Aspartame can be regarded as virtually calorie free.
The amino acids that make up Aspartame are present in most protein foodstuffs, e.g. meat, cereals, milk products and vegetables.
