Aspartame is a low calorie sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It
is made from two building blocks of protein just like those found naturally in
many everyday foods such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs and milk. Aspartame is
digested by the body in exactly the same way as these other protein foods and so
does not bring anything new to the diet.
