As a result, many are focusing on the use of artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes. Because of this health conscience era, the use of Splenda, in particular is used in just about every food, drink, candy etc. Splenda, along with other artificial sugar product, is popular because it does not add any calories, but what makes Splenda stand apart from other sugar substitutes is its claim that it is made from sugar and taste exactly like sugar. Although widely accepted, there are those that prefers the use and taste of nothing but regular sugar because they do not like the tast of the artificial sugars on the market, however, although Splenda’s claim of being made from sugar and taste exactly like sugar, there are those that swear that they could taste the difference between the two.

The three more significant forms of sugar are sucrose, glucose, and fructose. Sucrose, mass-produced by processing sugar cane or beet sugar, is the white table sugar that people add to various foods or drinks to increase their sweetness. Glucose can be recognized more frequently than either sucrose or fructose because of its involvement in diabetes which hampers the production of the hormone, insulin, a chemical messenger that is used to regulate glucose levels in the bloodstream. Additionally, glucose is not significantly dangerous on its own; it only becomes problematic for patients suffering from diabetes or dental cavities which are holes in one’s teeth. And without a doubt the real problem with sugar lies with fructose, it is metabolized just like the fructose in fruit, but with some significant differences.

While artificial sweeteners tempt the public with sugar-free sweetness, their use poses confirmed risks for serious health problems. Artificial sweeteners, also known as nonnutritive or alternative sweeteners, have been popular providers of sweetness since the 1950s. There are currently five forms of artificial sweeteners approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA): aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, and neotame, each varying in composition and nutritional value.
