Sugar substitutes are alternative sweeteners used to reduce calorie intake or manage blood sugar levels. Common types include artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose, as well as natural options such as stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. Typically derived from plants, chemical processes, or sugar alcohols, these substitutes offer sweetness without the high calories of sugar. Popular in low-calorie, diabetic, or keto-friendly diets, they are used in beverages, baked goods, and desserts across various cuisines. While some sugar substitutes, like stevia, boast natural origins and minimal impact on blood sugar, others like artificial sweeteners can be controversial due to potential side effects or long-term health concerns. Moderation is key, as excessive use of some sweeteners, particularly sugar alcohols, may cause digestive discomfort. Sugar substitutes provide a customizable way to enjoy sweetness while managing dietary needs.
