Interesting about the component parts of aspartame being found in bananas. Do they act as a sweetener in bananas or is there some difference?
These same components can also be found in cherries, tomato juice, lima beans and more. To act as a sweetener, they must be bound together in the proper proportions. Aspartame was discovered by accident by a scientist working on a promising therapy for treating ulcers. He licked his finger after touching the Aspartame and found it to be sweet. Years later, the sweetener was finally approved by the FDA and made eating and drinking much easier, and more enjoyable, for diabetics everywhere.
