Solution
The correct option is B True
Natural sweeteners e.g, sucrose add to calorie intake. Due to the occurrence of more cases of diabetes and obesity young and old people, these days people usually take low-calorie drinks. These are artificial sweetening agents as given below.
Saccharin: It is 550 times as sweet as cane sugar. It is excreted from the body through urine.
Aspartame: It is 100 times as sweet as cane sugar. Its use is limited to cold foods and soft drinks because it is unstable at cooking temperature.
Alitame: It is more stable than aspartame but the control of sweetness of food is difficult while using it.
Sucralose: It is stable at cooking temperature. It does not provide calories.
These artificial sweetening agents do not metabolize and hence do not produce any energy. So the statement is true.
