Low-Calorie Sweeteners
They are also sometimes called sugar substitutes or intense sweeteners because their sweetness is so potent -- ranging from 200 – 600 times the sweetness of sucrose. That means a little goes a long way. And this is why sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose and saccharin can taste sweet but contain virtually no calories.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
HFCS is a nutritive (calorie-containing) sweetener derived from corn. It’s found in many carbonated soft drinks, juice drinks and sports drinks, as well as other snacks, syrups, jellies and other sweetened products.
Caffeine
It is found in the leaves, seeds, or fruits of more than 60 plants. It's widely found in beverages and foods, such as coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate.
