Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), including aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfameK, neotame and advantame are food additives approved for use in foods and beverages by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two additional NNS, steviol glycosides (often referred to as “stevia”) and monk fruit, are considered to have GRAS (“Generally Recognized as Safe”) status and are permitted for specific conditions of use in the food supply. NNS are a heterogeneous group of compounds with different chemical structures, however they are all potently sweet relative to sugar and contain no or few calories, which makes them popular substitutes for added sugars in foods and beverages.URL
