What are the sweeteners used in the DESIGNER WHEY products?
All DESIGNER WHEY products are aspartame-free. Instead of aspartame, Designer Whey products use preferred non-nutritive sweeteners Acesulfame-K and/or Sucralose. Acesulfame-K or SunettĀ® brand sweetener is a calorie-free sweetener that includes intensive sweetening power (about 200 times sweeter than sugar), high purity and safety. Since it is not metabolized by the human body, it passes through the digestive system unchanged. Sucralose extremely sweet, about 600 times sweeter than sugar, and extremely stable. Sucralose is so stable that, unlike other non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame, it will not break down or lose its sweetness when used in cooking or baking. Sucralose is also not metabolized (broken down) by the body’s food-digesting enzymes. This means that Sucralose has no calories!
