Fuss About Artificial Sweeteners (AS) & Sodas
With 15-20 calories per spoon, a small amount of regular sugar can be a part of anyone's healthy diet. Replacing it with AS might be causing more harm to your body than good.
In some studies, daily consumption of AS was associated with 36% greater risk for metabolic syndrome (obesity, high BP, high blood sugar) and 67% increased risk for type-2 diabetes. These AS may be addictive too.
About Sodas, understand that low-fat is not no-fat. Diet soda may contain Aspartame, which might cause cancer. Many diet drinks contains caffeine, which curb the appetite temporarily but leads to overeating later.
