It is inevitable for you to come into contact with artificial sweetener if you drink diet sodas. This is what my friend who is on her weight loss program doing. She orders diet sodas rather than normal soda drinks since she is on her diet program for weight loss. In fact, artificial sweetener is not so recommended for healthy weight loss, and overall health purpose.
Below are 6 common artificial sweeteners available on the market for your reference, even though it is not recommended their use over natural sweetener.
1) Aspartame
Aspartame (included in Equal brand artificial sweetener) is probably the most common used artificial sweetener nowadays and it is commonly used in most diet sodas. Although it has been declared safe, analysis published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association reveals that FDA has received numerous reports of seizures and other issues that have been linked to it.
