Question 1 of 8
1. Question
Passage 1: Artificial Sweeteners
(1) The sedentary nature of today’s society creates a haven for industries that promote good health. Many health advocates do not operate with a sense of sincerity. As a consequence, there has been a sea of fad diets and weight loss plans that have been well received by the public. Add to that scenario the seemingly endless number of diet pills that have made their way onto grocery and pharmaceutical shelves. Some programs require a tremendous amount of discipline, and many people are unable to follow them strictly. One method that requires little effort has been the minimizing of sugar intake by using artificial sweeteners.
(2) The use of these products enables calorie-conscious individuals to reduce their caloric intake in numerous products ranging from carbonated beverages and alcohol to sweets and pastries. The ability to savor the sweetness of foods during preparation without the risk of expanding one’s girth has been well accepted by at-home cooks and professional chefs. Since the dawn of the first commercially available artificial sweetener, the public has experienced a surge in the number of competing variants of these products available for purchase.
(3) There are five major varieties of artificial sweeteners on the market in the United States. Aspartame has been commercially available since 1965, and it is one of the most popular products. It is branded under a variety of names and comes in a number of compositions. Aspartame is reported to be over two-hundred times sweeter than regular sucrose, and it affords very few calories per nutritional serving.
(4) The remaining nonnutritive sweeteners are saccharin, sucralose, neotame, and acesulfame potassium. Each varies in the amount of calories present per serving and their chemical constitution. While aspartame is a small protein dipeptide, saccharin is a derivative of benzene, sucralose is chlorinated sucrose, neotame is similar in chemical structure to aspartame, and acesulfame potassium is salt of a sulfur compound. Acesulfame potassium contains zero calories, and it is two-hundred times sweeter than table sugar. Saccharin is significantly sweeter than sucrose, and the same is true of sucralose which is six-thousand times sweeter than table sugar. Neotame is even more potent, and it is reported to be ten-thousand times sweeter than sucrose.
(5) The degrees of sweetness or the calorie content are not the only factors to consider when debating which artificial sweetener to select. The chemical stability of each compound varies under different environmental conditions. For example, neotame is more chemically stable than aspartame and sucralose. While sucralose is twice as sweet as saccharin and trice as sweet as aspartame, aspartame is more heat tolerant than the others with the exception of acesulfame potassium making it suitable for baking.
(6) Despite dietary convenience and the ability to save food manufactures a fortune on sweetening during food product, the nonnutritive sweeteners have been associated with a number of health concerns. Historically, aspartame has been linked to many illnesses including cancer and psychiatric disorders in a number of published studies. Yet there have also been many reputable studies that have contradicted those findings. Among the group of sweeteners only neotame and sucralose have been labeled “safe” by Food Governing Agencies.
