INDICATIONS:

INGREDIENTS:
The sweetening ingredient in Equal is aspartame, which is composed of two amino acids (the building blocks of protein). In the body, aspartame breaks down into the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine, as well as a small amount of methanol components found naturally in foods like meats, milk, fruits and vegetables. The body uses these components in exactly the same way whether they come from aspartame or common foods. Leading health authorities including the American Medical Association, the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetes Association have also supported aspartame's safety. Other ingredients are added to make the very concentrated sweetener and to provide bulking. Equal packets ingredients: dextose with maltodextrin, aspartame.
