in July by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the research arm of the World Health Organization , Reuters reported.Reuters reported on Thursday that shoppers can find aspartame in Weight Watchers yoghurts and some Snapple drinks, for example.Discovered in 1965 by American chemist James Schlatter, aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than regular table sugar.
Aspartame is also used to enhance the flavouring of baked and canned foods, powdered drink mixes, candy and puddings.Saccharin, sucralose and neotame are among five other artificial sweeteners alongside aspartame authorised by a WHO expert committee on food additives.Aspartame's use in food products has been debated for decades and has also prompted some companies to remove the compound from their products.
Dieticians said that sweeteners with little or no calories such as aspartame can help with weight management, but they emphasise that it is best to try to do without sweeteners and to acquire a palate that prefers less sweet tastes.
