Several tabletop sweeteners containing aspartame as the sweetening ingredient can be used in a wide variety of recipes. However, in some recipes requiring lengthy heating or baking, a loss of sweetness may occur; this is not a safety issue â simply the product may not be as sweet as desired.
Of course, an association does not mean that artificial sweeteners were the cause of these problems, Dr. Pepino says. Still, her study points to a possible reason why they might indeed be linked. Not all artificial sweeteners are alike in their metabolic effects, either, she says. (She hopes to next test aspartame.)
