Acesulfame potassium (Acesulfame K or Ace-K)
Ace-K (Sunett, Sweet One) is a calorie-free sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar, although it may also have a bitter taste. It is heat stable and stays sweet even when exposed to high temperatures during baking (FDA, 2-8-2018; Endotext , 2000, Table 20).
Ace-K has been approved as a general-purpose sweetener since 2003 and is considered safe to consume in daily amounts up to 900 mg/day, which is well below the cumulative estimated daily intake for Ace-K of 313 mg/day (FDA, 21 CFR Part 172 Docket No. 2002F–0220).
Although the carcinogenic chemical methylene chloride is used as a solvent in the manufacturing of Ace-K, laboratory testing has not detected methylene chloride in the final Ace-K product (FDA, 21 CFR Part 172 Docket No. 2002F–0220). Nevertheless, a study of more than 102,000 people in France followed for about 8 years found that those who consumed Ace-K during the first two years of the study had about 12% to 13% increased risk of any cancer compared to those who did not consume Ace-K (Debras, PLoS Med 2022) — although this link does not prove cause-and-effect. - https://www.consumerlab
It had been tested for years before put on the market, 40 years ago.
Its sucrose with 3 hydros replaced with chlor's.
And you need 3 times less of it vs aspartame.
Id be more worried about that under fingernails worth of trans-fat that DOES show up on bloodwork that is peppered in other foods...

With water it's still good but I personally prefer/recommend any protein powder with sugar free almond/soy milk for cutting.
The vanilla also makes it easy/great to use for other stuff like protein pancakes and of course ice cream
I don't know how everyone downs their protein shake but I prefer not to taste the flavor at all (the unflavored ones never go on sale). The vanilla ice cream taste is very overpowering and I need something equally strong to counteract it. Usually a fruit smoothie or something distinct and bitter like black coffee or several sachets of earl grey to balance out the sweetness.
BuhBy microbiome!

I bought a 10 pound bag of it and don't mind the taste.
