?What are some examples of natural alternative sweeteners

Examples include stevia, monk fruit extract, and erythritol. These options provide sweetness without the calories and potential negative health effects associated with traditional sugars.

?How do artificial sweeteners differ from natural ones

Artificial sweeteners are synthetic compounds designed to mimic the taste of sugar without the calories. Examples include aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin. While they offer sweetness with minimal impact on blood sugar levels, there are debates about their long-term health effects, whereas natural sweeteners are derived from plants and may offer additional health benefits.
