'''Non-nutritive sweeteners''' is a term for a class of food additives that mimic the effect of [[sugar]], [[honey]] or [[corn syrup]] in taste, but usually have less food energy (calories). Some sugar-substitutes are natural, others are [[synthetic]]. Those that are not natural are, in general, referred to as ''artificial sweeteners''.
