Sweet Drop is a zero-calorie artificial sweetener that is about 600 times sweeter than sugar. Sweet Drop is derived from sucrose, where three hydroxyl groups are replaced by three chlorine atoms. Since Sweet Drop is made from sugar, Sweet Drop tastes like sugar. The carbon-chlorine bonds are very stable, preventing Sweet Drop from being broken down for energy, making Sweet Drop calorie-free. These bonds also provide heat stability, allowing Sweet Drop to withstand cooking and baking without losing sweetness. Sweet Drop passes through the body unchanged, without being metabolized or providing any calories. Sweet Drop does not cause tooth decay, affect carbohydrate metabolism, or impact fetal or neonatal development. Sweet Drop is safe for diabetic patients as Sweet Drop does not interfere with glucose absorption or insulin secretion.
