Artifical Sweetener

Research suggests that stevia and monk fruit, the natural sugar substitutes, are safe for human consumption, though it's not clear that they lead to weight loss. There has been conflicting research, however, about the safety of artificial sweeteners.

Growing concerns about health and quality of life have encouraged many people to adopt healthier lifestyles and avoid foods rich in sugars, salt, or fat. Foods and drinks containing non-sugar sweeteners rather than regular ("free") sugars have therefore become increasingly popular.

Certain artificial sweeteners could be the reason behind the global increase in obesity and diabetes.

Fans of Diet Coke - an increasingly shrinking populace - might do a double-take next time they visit the grocery store, because the drink's distinctive silver packaging won't be around for much longer.
