Fwd: Do Zero Sweeteners Make you Fat?

                             
                                  

This is a post from Truth About Abs.com of Mike Geary.

The question being posed is about 4 artificial sweeteners -  do they make you fat?

What are they?

                                  

> Aspartame  (made from excreta of E.coli bacteria)

>  Saccharine

>  Splenda (sucralase)  (it is a compound synthesized from carbon and chlorine, which is a light pesticide)

>  Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame K)

The battle between High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweetener is a battle between two evils!!


Since they are artificial molecules devoid of calories, they actually make you crave for reall calories, and cause you to gain weight.

Aside from that, the following are attributed to these substances:

                         


l.  GIT problems,

2.  may cause cancer

3.  cause more food cravings

4.  negative effects on kidney, liver and other organs

5,  head aches

6.  embryonic development


                                  
              

The article recommends the use of Stevia, which 200-300 times stronger than natural sugar.  Or honey or maple syrup, or sorghum sugar.  In the Philippines, there is coconut sugar

Hey there, it's Mike Geary here with your latest Lean-Body Secrets Ezine.

Today, I wanted to talk about artificial sweeteners today because I've noticed that there's a lot of confusion and misconceptions revolving around these non-caloric sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners and the huge list of products sweetened with them are marketed to you relentlessly as "healthy foods" or "healthier" than sugar or corn syrup sweetened products. But are they really?
