| abstract |
The present invention provides compositions for bowel cleansing that have improved palatability through the inclusion of a sweetener, such as a chlorinated sucrose isomer. The invention also provides methods of reducing the saltiness of an orally consumed substance, including phosphate salt and PEG/salt bowel cleansers, through the use of a sweetener. Utilizing a sweetener including Sucralose to reduce the saltiness of a substance unexpectedly contradicts the conventional belief that sweeteners amplify saltiness. |
