Artificial Sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners are commonly found in “diet” products often listed as aspartame. With all the controversy over “carbs” being the culprit for getting fat, many Americans have turned to “alternatives” to sugar with the mindset that this will solve their problems. Could we be more wrong here? There are millions of Americans who love to drink coffee and include sugar to sweeten up their beverage. But most opt to put in “sweet-n-low” or “equal”, you know…the pink and blue packs. With the surge of Starbucks and other coffee houses popping up all over the country, we’ve seen a huge increase in coffee drinkers and in turn a huge increase in the consumption of artificial sweeteners.

Next on the list are those “diet” drinks like diet Coke or “Zero” who all taut to be “sugar-free.” But let’s face the facts…if you take something out and you still want it to remain relatively the same in taste, you need to substitute it with something else. These substitutes are concocted in the laboratory and then they use the general population as lab rats to see what the effects will be on the human body. Ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you that you’re part of a massive scale laboratory study.
