Answer to Question 1

Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols are both used to add sweetness to foods without the caloric value. Artificial sweeteners do not contain any appreciable amount of energy for a body, which is good for weight gain. The biggest drawback to these sweeteners is that in high doses, these chemicals can cause adverse effects, though the exact degree to which they do this and the exact relationship between quantity and the development of these effects is still being studied. Sugar alcohols, however, do contribute calories to the diet but fewer than regular sugars. Sugar alcohols may cause abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. However, they do not contribute to dental carries.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
