Acesulfame Potassium

Acesulfame potassium, commonly known as Ace-K, is a calorie-free artificial sweetener commonly used in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, baked goods, and processed snacks.

How It May Affect You
Some research has suggested potential impacts of acesulfame potassium on the body:

• Metabolic Considerations: Like other non-nutritive sweeteners, some research suggests that Ace-K may have slight effects on insulin response. 

• Digestive Health: Some early studies suggest that artificial sweeteners, including Ace-K, may influence gut health. 

For those aiming to minimize artificial sweeteners, check the labels on sugar-free and diet products or consider using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
