Widely used as a zero-calorie artificial sweetener in food and beverage products, especially in diet sodas, sugar-free gums, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners. Its high stability under heat makes it suitable for cooking and baking applications where sugar substitutes are needed. Also found in pharmaceuticals and oral care products like cough drops, syrups, and toothpastes due to its sweet taste without promoting tooth decay. Commonly chosen for low-carb and diabetic-friendly products because it does not significantly affect blood glucose or insulin levels.
