A composition for bowel cleansing having improved palatability through the inclusion of a sweetener selected from the group including a chlorinated sucrose isomer, acesulfame potassium, saccharin and mixtures thereof wherein the composition has a perceived saltiness equivalent to 0.2 to 2.6% sodium chloride in water and comprises 0.01 to 0.1% of the sweetener. 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. Utilising a sweetener such as sucralose to reduce the saltiness of a substance unexpectedly contradicts the conventional belief that sweeteners amplify the saltiness. |
