Natural sweetners as an alternative to artificial sweetners

Sugar substitutes are food additives and synthetic agents are known as artificial sweetners.

A number of naturally occurring agents are available that can be compounded into a suitable form for use as a sugar substitiute, generally in very much smaller amounts to both the artificial sweetner or sugar.

Controversy exists over the use of artificial sweetners such as aspartame, saccharin and cyclamates and many people have sought natural alternatives that deliver the deisred sweetness without the increase in food energy or possible risk of adverse effects from the sweetening agent used.
