While aspartame, like other peptides, has a caloric value of 4 calories per gram, the quantity of aspartame needed to produce a sweet taste is so small that its caloric contribution is negligible, which makes it a popular sweetener for those trying to avoid calories from sugar. The sweetness of aspartame has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar. The most popular brands of aspartame are Equal and NutraSweet, which are found in many consumer foods and beverages. Sucralose is manufactured by the selective chlorination of sucrose, in which three of the hydroxyl groups are replaced with chlorine atoms. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose, twice as sweet as saccharin, and four times as sweet as aspartame.
“Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output. Diets that tend to lack in fiber or are high in insoluble fiber tend to cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipation. People that experience these symptoms should consider reviewing their fiber sources, and water consumption
Lactase is effective at pH 2 – 7 (including dH2O) and therefore breaks down the lactose sugar in milk into glucose and galactose. As a result, the test strips will turn a shade of brown. . Lactase is not effective at pH 10 – 12. At the high pHs, the enzyme lactase is denatured and is no longer able to break down the sugar lactose in milk.

Studies in humans have shown that lycopene is protective against a variety of cancers including prostate of course, but also colorectal, breast, lung, endometrial, pancreatic, bladder, cervical and skin cancers. Lycopene has also been shown to help prevent heart disease and may slow the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, an age related vision problem that can lead to blindness. The vitamin B6, niacin, potassium, and folate found in abundance in tomatoes are potent protectors against heart disease. Niacin can lower high cholesterol levels and potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure and to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Fiber Research SCI/241 March 24, 2011 Fiber Research Fiber is an important part in gastrointestinal health; it is important role in cleaning out the intestines and avoids constipation. Fiber also provides cholesterol lowering effects, fat modifications and has been associated with lowering blood pressure. Fiber can also promote satiety by slowing gastric emptying allowing calorie intake to be lowered, therefore decreasing chances of obesity. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fibers are those that absorb water, resulting in bulkier, softer stool.
Erythritol- * Erythritol is a naturally-derived sugar substitute that looks and tastes very much like sugar, yet has almost no calories. * Erythritol is classified as a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols, also called polyols, are sugar substitutes that are either extracted from plants or manufactured from starches. Erythritol is approximately 70 percent as sweet as table sugar (sucrose). Some manufacturers, however, claim that their erythritol products are as sweet as sugar.
