A major feature of artificial sweeteners is that they only provide sweetness without providing any energy, and the sweetness is much higher than that of ordinary sugar, so many diabetics and dieters use artificial sweeteners as sugar substitutes.
Extended data
Studies have shown that artificial sweeteners are deceptive not only in weight management, but also in other aspects. People who regularly eat artificial sweeteners will unconsciously increase abdominal fat and waist circumference.
Meghan Azad, a researcher from the University of Manitoba, said that many people mistakenly believe that drinking one or two bottles of diet soda every day is as good for health as swallowing one or two bottles of water.
Although these artificial sweeteners have no energy, their sweetness can interfere with people's metabolism, increase people's appetite and make people eat other foods with more energy. In addition, sweeteners can also affect microorganisms in the digestive tract, thus affecting digestion and general health.
