BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What's the Difference Between Sugar and Artificial Sweetener?

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, November 11 - Sugar and sweetener - both taste sweet, which is just another way of
saying that both interact with the 'sweetness' taste receptors on your
tongue. But that's about all they have in common. Otherwise, sugar and
sweetener don't chemically resemble each other in the least. In fact, they
belong to completely different classes of substances. In entertaining
episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners
on Chemistry in our everyday life.
