On the nutrient composition list of some "0 sugar" drinks, the ingredient of Coke Zero says "aspartame", the soda in Yuan Qi Forest contains "sucralose", and the "0 sugar" light milk tea in Honey Valley adds "erythritol".
"These are sugar substitutes, some low-calorie or zero-calorie sweeteners. Although they provide sweetness, they will not cause changes in human blood sugar and are safe food additives. " Li Yuanyuan, a registered dietitian in China, said.
Aspartame is an artificial sugar substitute, and its sweetness is about 200 times that of sucrose. In contrast, erythritol is more natural, which is made by microbial fermentation on the basis of starch, with high safety and low calorie, and the sweetness is only 60% of sucrose. The sweetest taste should be sucralose, the sweetness is about 600 times that of sucrose, the sweetness is similar to that of sucrose, and there is no bitterness.
The calorie of sugar substitute is extremely low, but this does not mean that there is no energy at all. After the human brain receives the sweet signal, it is easy to feel hungry and increase appetite, but it will increase the desire for real sugar, which is not only bad for losing weight, but also bad for health.
