Low calorie soft drinks help people to eat more healthily

A team of researchers in the UK has carefully analyzed National Diet and Nutrition Survey data and has found that people who choose low calorie soft drinks are more likely to have a better quality diet overall than those who choose sugar-sweetened beverages...

Aspartame is a low calorie sweetener that, used on its own to sweeten foods and drinks, tastes just like sugar. The discovery of aspartame was a breakthrough in low calorie sweeteners because of its likeness to sugar, and because it has no lingering or metallic aftertaste. Taste tests show that the same holds true today: most people prefer the taste of low calorie foods and drinks sweetened with aspartame.
