artificial sweeteners especially aspartame produces adverse effects in some individuals.
most common manifestation would be migraines.
its also linked to some psychiatric conditions such as hallucinations and depression i guess..it is also known to precipitate seizures...
although there isn't any concrete proof that artificial sweeteners are detrimental to health.
i think its best that we consume natural sugars instead of chemical sugars.
after all aspartame was first discovered as a drug.. not a sweetener..

well.. in medicine we have yet to produce any evidence. still stuck at the observation stage.. thus "isn't any concrete proof" comes into play  |

QUOTE(b3ta @ Sep 27 2009, 02:06 PM) aspartame is also known to be carcinogenic in high doses. however it remains one of the most popular artificial sweeteners used in drinks nowadays. most artificial sweeteners, when consumed - although they provide some degree of sweetness, which is pleasurable - have also been known to give a strange aftertaste or/and alter the overall taste and feel of the product which it is used in. psychological or chemical? bitterness maskers and flavour enchancers are now also developed to be included with artificial sweeteners, likening it to the domino effect. tumble 1, and the rest follows. also, if given a choice, would any of u go for a product with artificial sweeteners? aspartame is a drug. and all drugs at high doses have adverse effects. so everytime u glup down a diet coke, remember its a dose of medication right there. |
