foods that require baking for a long time.
beverages such as diet sodas and flavored waters.
desserts such as sugar-free puddings and light ice cream.
When did the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approve aspartame for use?
*

Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is defined as
*
1 point
total intake in one day that is expected to be safe for human consumption.
average daily intake over a lifetime that is expected to be unsafe for human consumption.
average daily intake over a lifetime that is expected to be safe for human consumption.
total intake in one day that is expected to be unsafe for human consumption.
What is the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame as established by the FDA?
*
1 point
50 milligrams/kilogram body weight per day.
40 milligrams/kilogram body weight per day.
50 milligrams per day.
40 milligrams per day.
How is the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame set?
*
1 point
The ADI is the level that has no observed adverse effects (NOAEL) in toxicology studies.
The ADI is set two times lower than the NOAEL in toxicology studies.
The ADI is set ten times lower than the NOAEL in toxicology studies.
The ADI is set one hundred times lower than the NOAEL in toxicology studies.
Who should limit/avoid/restrict their intake of aspartame?
*
1 point
Pregnant women
Lactating women
Children with diabetes
People with phenylketonuria
What are the end products of aspartame metabolism?
*
1 point
Phenylalanine, methanol and glucose
Phenylalanine, glucose and aspartic acid
Phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol
Aspartame is not metabolized by the body; it is excreted unchanged.
Based on a systematic review of 37 studies on low-calorie sweeteners in weight management, the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee concluded that
*
1 point
there was insufficient evidence to make any recommendation.
low-calorie sweeteners should be a part of any weight management program.
low-calorie sweeteners should be considered an option for weight management.
low-calorie sweeteners should not be considered an option for weight management.
How would the evidence of sensitivity to aspartame be best described?
*
1 point
The studies were hindered by small sample sizes and methodological challenges.
The evidence is based on a strong, plausible biological mechanism for sensitivities.
The evidence supporting sensitivity comes from large randomized controlled trials.
The studies used doses of aspartame that are lower than amount normally consumed.
