Researchers
at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York have established a link between regular use
of artificial sweeteners and the most common form of thyroid disease
(Hashimoto’s thyroiditis).
Equal,
Nutrasweet, and Splenda are common culprits.
They are commonly used in diet sodas.
Interesting enough, the use of these products might actually cause
weight gain.
Neurologic side effects
have also been reported.
If you already
have a thyroid problem, there is preliminary information that giving up the
sweeteners might eliminate the thyroid disease.
