Also known as acesulfame-K, Sunette, Sweet One, food additive number E950. A synthetic sweetener that measures two hundred times sweeter than table sugar and is commonly used in chewing gum, dry beverage mixes, instant coffee and tea, puddings, and nondairy creamers. Tests show the additive causes cancer in animals, so it may be a potential carcinogen in humans. Not enough information confirms the safety of acesulfame-K, so it isn't used in the MTHI plan.
