Q Ive been told that artificial sweeteners are really bad for you- could anyone give me some information on this as i have been using sweeteners instead of sugar for the past few months.-how dangerous really are sweeteners??
Yes, it is true that artificial sweeteners can affect your health. Consuming sweet-tasting but noncaloric or reduced-calorie food and beverages interferes with learned responses and your natural ability to adjust to glucose and energy. It creates an internal equilibrium. Frequent consumption of high-intensity sweeteners may have counterintuitive effects that mess with your metabolism. They can cause hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, weight gain etc. Natural sources like jaggery, organic sugar are safe to use.
