The controversy surrounding aspartame has intensified over the years, fueled by various studies and reports. Some researchers and health advocates claim that aspartame may be linked to a range of health issues, including headaches, dizziness, and even more serious conditions like cancer.

Potassium sorbate, also known as sorbistat-k, E-202 and sorbistat-potasium, is a white, odorless, and tasteless salt. Although it is naturally occurring in some fruits like berries, it is commercially produced by a neutralization reaction between sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide. It is an inactive salt form of sorbic acid and just like sorbic acid, it has been found to be active against molds, yeasts, bacteria and fungi. Because of these antimicrobial activities, it is often used as a preservative in the food and beverage industries to preserve foods like cheese, yogurt, dried meat, bread, cake, milkshakes, pickles, ice cream and apple cider.
