Acesulfame K, a widely used low-calorie artificial sweetener in food and beverages, has raised concerns and sparked controversies regarding its impact on human health. Thus, the objective of this study is to comprehensively review the effects of Acesulfame on human health based on the literatures from the past few decades, providing a scientific basis and reference for promoting accurate understanding and rational utilization of this sweetener. Extensive research has been devoted to investigating the correlation between Acesulfame K and human health over the past few decades. Numerous studies have demonstrated that Acesulfame K can serve as a low-calorie alternative sweetener for weight management and disease prevention, such as diabetes. However, some findings suggest adverse effects of Acesulfame K on the health of cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine, etc. In addition, Acesulfame K is related to some cancers.
