NutraSweet
Nutrasweet is a sweetener that is added to foods and drinks to make them taste sweet without adding sugar. Imagine eating a candy that is very sweet, but instead of using sugar, it uses Nutrasweet to make it taste sweet. Nutrasweet is made up of two chemicals called aspartame and phenylalanine. These are two tiny things that make up Nutrasweet! They are like the tiny legos that you build with.
When you eat or drink something with Nutrasweet in it, your tongue thinks it is sugar because it tastes sweet. But, Nutrasweet does not have calories like sugar does. Calories are things that can make you grow big and strong, but if you eat too many calories, you can become unhealthy.
So, Nutrasweet helps people who want to eat or drink something sweet but not add too many calories to their body. It can be found in many foods like chewing gums, candies, and drinks too. People who have diabetes (a condition where the body cannot handle sugar) can also use Nutrasweet to make their food and drinks sweet without adding sugar.
