Here is the list of sweetners permitted in the UK :
Sweetex also contains aspartame which isn't beneficial if you're dieting. Sacharin also has an awful salty aftertaste.
Sweeteners currently permitted for use in food in the UK are:
Saccharin Natrena, Saxin, Hermesetas tablets, Hermesetas and Sweetex liquid.
Aspartame Canderel, Flix and Shapers tablets, Canderel, Shapers powder.
Acesulfame K Hermesetas Gold tablets, Diamin powder.
Thaumatin Incorporated into many manufactured foods.
Some sweeteners are combinations, eg Sweetex powder is a mixture of aspartame and saccharin.
To avoid exceeding the acceptable daily intake of any sweetener it is recommended that you should vary the type of sweetener used. Use as little artificial sweetener as possible.
I have started using stevia which doesn't mess up your insulin and has a pleasant sweet taste. It really is worth the price and you can also use it for baking.
You can get it online from the following link as it is not available in the UK as it still illigal to sell it.
