A sweetener is a sugar substitute that can be added in desserts, water, bread and so on. There are artificial and natural sweeteners; one of the properties of these substitutes is that they tend to concentrate the flavor in less, so it gives the same sensation of sweetness for less product, providing less energy (calories). Currently, artificial sweeteners are used very often in light products, which, among other things, mix maltodextrins (such as sucrose, aspartame, neotame, sucralose, etc.), high-intensity artificial sweeteners to achieve the feeling of sweetness required.

Refined sugar is a really unhealthy and consuming it not only carries severe health problems, but overweight, so they have sought ways to replace it and avoid it whenever possible. The controversy of the light products, on which they are good for health or not is something that handles advertising in many forms, many times the information is manipulated by multimillion dollar companies especially soft drinks, sweets and other distorting products that could be a real risk to health as is the use of these artificial sweeteners, which, among other things, carry an internal imbalance that eventually can be truly harmful to the body.
