Health & Safety Considerations

1. Artificial Sweeteners:
   • Aspartame and Ace-K are generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies (e.g., FDA, EFSA, WHO) in moderate amounts. However, excessive consumption may have debated links to metabolic effects or digestive issues.
   • Some studies suggest long-term high intake could contribute to increased sugar cravings or gut microbiome changes, though evidence is inconclusive.
