Sweetener

Have you ever added sugar to your tea or coffee to make it taste sweet? Sweeteners are things that make our food and drinks taste sweet without adding sugar. They come in different forms, like powders, liquids, or small tablets. Some popular sweeteners are stevia, aspartame, sucralose, and honey. They are often used in foods and drinks that you buy in the store, like soda, candy, and baked goods. Sweeteners can be helpful for people who have diabetes or are trying to watch their calories, but it's still important to use them in moderation to maintain a healthy diet.
