Other Properties		There have been some reports on the side-effects, e.g. it causes shrinkage of the thymus gland, enlargement of the liver and kidney. The side effects are inconsequential	It has a bitter, metallic aftertaste and is unstable at high temperatures. It may cause urticaria and eczema in some people. Intake of saccharin is restricted in pregnant women as it is avidly concentrated in the placenta.	When aspartame is digested it breaks down into the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid, plus methanol. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a known poison; it is a danger to people who have a hereditary condition called phenylketonuria (PKU). Methanol content of a diet soft drink is 15 to 100 times higher than that of fruit juices.It is unstable at high temperatures and is added in the end-cycle of cooking. However, aspartame when in a prepared food or beverage, aspartame has a relatively short shelf life: the sweetness will dissipate, which is why a can of diet soda that’s a year old can taste undrinkable.	Acesulfame-K has a grittier texture than direct sugar but it has a slight bitter aftertaste. It has also been noted that acesulfame-K stimulates insulin secretion in a dose dependent fashion, thereby possibly aggravating reactive hypoglycemia ("low blood sugar attacks")	It is Acesulfame-K and Aspartame blended at the molecular level. This is possible due to the fact that some high-intensity sweeteners form positively charged ions in certain solutions, whereas others form negatively charged ions. Aspartame and acesulfame-K are the first two sweeteners which have been successfully bonded in this way to form what is known as a "sweetener - sweetener salt." Twinsweet dissolves in water into separated molecules of the two individual components, so all the safety concerns of aspartame and acesulfame-K should be applied as well to Twinsweet.	It is approved as a 'dietary supplement by the FDA. Cannot be used for baking above 389 degrees F (acquired taste)
