Are the drinks marked sugar-free that people buy in the market really sugar-free? Can you really lose weight by drinking sugar-free drinks? More and more friends began to realize the harm of sugar, and the anti-sugar theory gradually became popular. Especially for people who are losing weight, high sugar is simply the biggest harm to people who are losing weight. After all, the more you eat, the fatter you get. It's endless.

Sugar-free drinks are not really sugar-free.

Actually, sugar-free drinks are not really sugar-free. They just replaced the familiar sucrose and maltose with artificial sweeteners with better taste. The added sweeteners (such as aspartame, saccharin and sucralose) have low or no calories and have little effect on blood sugar. This sugar-free drink has a certain positive effect on slimming, so it has also been welcomed by everyone.

Artificial sweeteners may make you fat.

However, at the 20 18 conference on experimental biology held in San Diego, California on August 4, 2065438, one of the studies showed that artificial sweeteners may lead to obesity and the fact that they may lead to vascular damage.

The possibility put forward in this study is the deepest exploration of the changes caused by artificial sweeteners in the human body so far. The researchers used a technique called unbiased Qualcomm quantitative metabonomics.

Mice were divided into two groups, fed with common sugar and artificial sweeteners (aspartame and acesulfame K) respectively.

After 3 weeks, blood samples of mice were collected and analyzed in detail. The results show that both glucose and artificial sweeteners can change the contents of fat, amino acids and other chemicals in blood to some extent. Similar to sugar, artificial sweeteners will have adverse effects on obesity and diabetes, while acesulfame potassium is found to accumulate slowly in the blood, which will lead to vascular damage when the concentration is high.

This study just explains why more and more drinks labeled as "sugar-free" have low or no calories, but the obesity rate and diabetes are still increasing. A key point is mentioned in this study: adhere to the principle of moderation! A small amount of artificial sweeteners can be easily ingested by the human body, but it is necessary to avoid taking too much and causing a burden to the body.

Artificial sweeteners will cause you to eat more junk food.

Assuming the principle of moderation is adhered to, what is the best combination of artificial sweeteners? Nature is a well-known junk food. These "junk food" without nutrition need to add a lot of sweeteners to increase sales. More common are sugar-free carbonated drinks, alcoholic drinks, desserts, salad dressings, and even medicines and condiments, which are ubiquitous and delicious. Therefore, psychologically speaking, due to the influence of psychological compensation, we always add fried chicken and French fries, and there is no heat. The more we eat, the more addictive we are. Holding a bottle of sugar-free drink in hand will inevitably reduce our vigilance against weight gain, so the negative consequences of a bite of fried chicken and a drink are naturally greater than the positive ones.
