So the question still remains â what age is the right age? Unfortunately, thereâs no cut-and-dry answer. Family circumstances, a childâs maturity level and the real need for a cell phone all contribute to when the right time is.
Discovered in 1967, acesulfame potassium (also called acesulfame K or ace-K) is a no-calorie sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than table sugar (sucrose). It has a clean, quickly perceptible sweet taste and excellent stability under high temperatures and good solubility.
Acesulfame-K may contribute to hypoglycemia. (http://www.fitday.com). Also, of all the artificial sweeteners out there, Acesulfame-K has undergone the least scientific scrutiny. Early studies showed a link to multiple cancer developments in lab animals. If you have any doubts whatsoever, remember this; humans have 99% the same DNA as the lab mice and rats tested.
