Description
Artificial sweeteners have been used for decades as a substitute for sugar in order to reduce calories and cut down on health issues such as tooth decay, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and more. But are they safe? And how do you know they are in the products you are buying? Food labels can so confusing, and there are more than 30 different names for sweeteners and substitutes to look out for.
A study published in the “Journal of the American Medical Association” (JAMA) has shown that as few as a couple of sodas a day, either with sugar, or with a substitute, can lead to health issues and even premature death from heart attack, stroke, or digestive disorders.
In this guide, the authors give an overview of the most common artificial sweeteners currently on the market, and what you need to know in order to make the right decisions about food for you and your family in order to stay safe.
It may not seem as if you are eating too much artificial sweetener in your diet, but they have become such a popular ingredient in many foods that it can be hard to measure how much you and your children are actually consuming.
Artificial sweeteners can be found in everything from cookies, cakes and pies, to sauces and salad dressings. The real trouble comes when the body processes it as if it really is sugar, which can lead to weight gain, obesity, and high blood sugar levels, which can be particularly dangerous for those with diabetes.
If you’re concerned about all the multi-syllable ingredients on the label of your children’s favorite foods, download this guide now to learn more about the wide range of artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes available, their benefits, and risks.
