Acesulfame potassium is an artificial sweetener also known as Ace-K. The use of artificial sweeteners has been controversial given some of their potential health risks. It is a zero-calorie sugar substitute. But some of these sugar substitutes offer you a good way to cut back on the sweet stuff, and they have some health benefits, too.
Is Acesulfame Potassium Safe?
Acesulfame potassium is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an alternative sweetener. More than 90 studies have been done that show it's safe to use.
You may see it listed on ingredient labels as:
Acesulfame K
Acesulfame potassium
Ace-K
Since it's more than 200 times sweeter than sugar, manufacturers can use far less acesulfame potassium, lowering the amount of calories and carbohydrates in a product. Ace-K is often combined with other artificial sweeteners.
It keeps its sweetness at high temperatures, making it a good sweetener for baking.
Like sugar, there’s evidence it doesn’t contribute to tooth decay because bacteria in the mouth do not metabolize it.
