Aritificial Sweeteners - Aspartame

Remember during the olden days about in the 90's, many people were getting fat and became obese. People blame it on sugar, saying that sugar makes them fat. So scientist found an alternative for sweeteners. They call it Artificial Sweetners where people who are going on diets and people who don't want to get fat should take this 'product'. Here are some artificial sweeteners brands: Nutrasweet, Sweet One, Sunett, Sweet n Low just to name a few.



Well, I have seen people who worship these artificial sweeteners and became anti-sugar people. Other products with these sweeteners begin to bloom creating 'sugar free products'.

Sad to say these sweeteners does not do any good to us. It brings more destruction to us than sugar.It has also previously been found that aspartame consumption can cause neurological and behavioral disturbances in sensitive individuals. It disturbs the metabolism of amino acids (proteins) and also the structure of the proteins,disturbs the integrity of nucleic acids, neuronal function and also endocrine balance.

Further, the breakdown of aspartame causes nerves to fire excessively, which can indirectly lead to a high rate of neuron depolarisation- neurodegeneration.

In simple words it just simply means it does harm to your nervous system.

Well, next time if you want to use artificial sweeteners, think twice before consuming it. Sugar is less harmless, you just have to reduce your intake and have an active lifestyle that is all =D
