Useless and possibly harmful
Sweeteners are probably harmful and do not help to reduce weight
A group of scientists from Manitoba (Canada) analyzed numerous data on the health of people who regularly consume aspartame, sucralose and stevioside. It turned out that they not only do not help to lose weight, but can even harm health.
A person has been using sweeteners for more than a hundred years, and all this time there are disputes around them. Scientists have been figuring out for a long time who is the sweetest and who is the most dangerous. As a result, the sweeteners were officially recognized as safe for humans and allowed to be consumed, including by the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration, Food and Drug Administration).
People use sugar substitutes for a variety of purposes: not only for weight loss, but also for dental care, diabetes, and sometimes simply because some sugar substitutes are cheaper than sugar itself. However, systematic data on how sweeteners affect the human body in the long term has not yet appeared. In part, this situation has developed due to the fact that people often use sweeteners without being observed by a doctor.
A team of scientists from Canada undertook to collect and analyze the currently existing studies of the delayed effects of aspartame, sucralose and stevioside on human health. They selected about 40 studies in which more than 400,000 people participated.
It turned out that the use of sweeteners is very weakly and unreliably associated with weight loss. That is, perhaps they do not contribute to this in any way. On the contrary, some statistics indicate that they, on the contrary, can cause an increase in body weight.
In addition, people who use these substances daily for several years sometimes have diabetes mellitus and disorders of the cardiovascular system. Scientists have to find out whether there really is an unambiguous connection between these phenomena and what other consequences the use of sweeteners leads to.
The study is published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
