Artificial Sweeteners Health Hazards

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the specialised cancer agency of the World Health Organization, has declared aspartame may be a possible carcinogenic hazard to humans.

read on as we discuss the negative effects of consuming artificial sweeteners.

In this article, we discuss some of the common adverse effects of consuming artificial sweeteners.

The study adds to previous research that says sucralose can also cause intestinal damage.

Consuming artificial sweeteners in large amounts over a long time has been linked to several adverse health effects, such as headaches, migraines, nausea, digestive problems and even cancer.

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.

Artificial sweeteners once offered a solution, but their popularity has dwindled among concerns that they don't help with weight management and could even cause weight gain, metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure with continual use.

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.

A recent study states that artificial sweeteners may worsen symptoms of Crohn's disease.
