But besides that, and this is probably your question: you only need a tiny amount of artificial sweetener, to get the same sweetness that you would get with sugar. For example Aspartam is about 200x as sweet as sugar, but it contains a very similar amount of energy. Sugar has ca. 16.8 kJ/g and Aspartam more like 17 kJ/g.
so 200Calories actually _is_ close to a quarter-million calories (small c)
