	Sugar substitute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Commonwealth English, sugar substitutes are often referred to as "sweeteners" (to the exclusion of sugar).
		This may be seen in soft drinks such as cola labeled as "diet" or "light" or "economy" which contain artificial sweeteners and often have notably different mouthfeel; or in table sugar replacements which mix maltodextrins with an intense sweetener to achieve satisfactory texture sensation.
		Saccharin was the first artificial sweetener and was originally synthesized in 1879 by Remsen and Fahlberg and its sweet taste was discovered by accident.

	Artificial Sweetener: Is Artifical Sweetener Bad For You?
		Breaking the sweetener habit may not be so easy, so I recommend that if you must sweeten, do it infrequently -- and when you do, use tiny amounts of the best, richest, darkest honey you can find or, alternatively, a high-quality real (not imitation) maple syrup.
		The good side of dumping your artificial sweetener habit is that you will probably drink fewer diet sodas (have a glass of water) and eat fewer "no-cal" deserts (have fruit instead).
		Even if there were no other benefit to kicking the artificial sweetener habit, that alone would be worth the effort.
