Sweeteners

Over the centuries, various foods, like honey or sugar, have been used to sweeten our food. Today, many of us choose to use sweeteners as an alternative to sugar. Because they are intensively sweet, only very small amounts are needed and they are used to provide sweetness to low-calorie and sugar-free foods and beverages. Sweeteners can play a role in contributing to the healthfulness of a diet without having to sacrifice the pleasure of eating sweet foods.
