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