Which is worse? Sugar or Artificial Sweeteners? What do you say? ???? . Excessive sugar consumption has been linked to several health-related issues including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer cell formation and even learning and memory problems. . In an attempt to curb excess sugar consumption, many people have turned to food and drink products that contain artificial sweeteners. These sugar replacements offer all of the sweetness you would get from traditional sugar-filled treats with the benefit of consuming fewer to zero calories. . Studies have shown that there is a link between the daily consumption of artificial sweeteners and the development of metabolic syndrome, a set of health conditions that include high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels and abnormal cholesterol levels. . Artificial sweeteners may fool the brain by preventing people from associating sweetness with the amount of calories they’re actually consuming. . Because of this, there are concerns that people who consume food and beverages containing artificial sweeteners may ultimately try to regain those “missing calories” or overcompensate for their “healthy” food choices. (Example: Ordering a diet soda and then rewarding oneself with a cheeseburger.) . In my opinion, both have their negative effects on our health. And it is beneficial to generally reduce consumption of both. By choosing plain water instead of sugary (or artificially sweetened) juices or sodas, and eating fruits, vegetables and lean meats instead of sugar-filled foods, whenever possible. . That being said, let’s get back to the original question I posed in this post. . Which is better? Sugar or Artificial Sweeteners? What’s your view?

Think artificial sweeteners are a healthier option? ???????? The truth is not so sweet. Human and animal studies have shown that non-caloric #artificialsweeteners, like Splenda, can cause damaging changes in the gut #microbiome contributing to issues like #obesity, #diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease among others. ???? When you also understand the link between poor #gut #health and poor #brain function, you really start to see their potential health hazards. ???? Do yourself a favor on hot, thirsty days – Have a nice glass of ice water.
