Sucralose on a Keto Diet

Sucralose-an artificial sweetener is 600 times sweeter than ordinary sugar. It does not break down when consumed, so it does not contain calories.

 

Sucralose is used in many diet drinks such as soda. It can also be found in dairy products such as sugar-free candy, gum, and yogurt.

 

 In addition, sucralose is added to sugar-free baked goods because it remains stable even when heated to high temperatures.
