Prodcut Advantages of Aspartame
Aspartame, as an artificial sweetener, offers several key advantages that make it a popular choice for food and beverage manufacturers, as well as consumers. Here are some of the main benefits:

Aspartame provides sweetness without the calories associated with sugar. This makes it a great option for people who are trying to reduce their calorie intake or manage their weight.
