Artificial Sweeteners Increase Blood Sugar!
A study
published in Nature showed that
popular sugar substitutes, such as Sweet n’ Low, Equal, and Splenda can
increase the blood sugar and create problems for diabetics and those who are
taking them to help lose weight.
Apparently, they disrupt the biofilm, which consists of the good
bacteria in the gut. This leads to an
increased risk of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. It can actually cause diabetes to be
expressed when the gene for the disease is lying dormant in the body. The article did not mention the neurologic
side effects seen by these substances on occasion. Best advice is to avoid them altogether.
