Health Considerations & Warnings

1. Artificial Sweeteners:
   • Aspartame/Ace-K: Generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies (FDA, EFSA) but may cause digestive discomfort (bloating, gas) in sensitive individuals. Some studies link high intake to metabolic concerns, though evidence is inconclusive.
   • Long-term use: No definitive proof of harm at moderate consumption, but excessive intake (e.g., daily liters) may warrant caution.
