Artificial sweeteners are used by people who want to lose weight, as well as diabetics. It is believed that they do not contain extra calories. In addition, they do not increase the level of glucose in the blood. But Israeli scientists have refuted this claim.
A group of scientists from the University of Jerusalem came to the conclusion that sweeteners cause obesity. Experts made such a statement after they conducted an experiment involving mice. Mice that ate sugar substitutes gained a lot of weight and became less active. Scientists argue that the same consequences from the use of sweeteners are expected by a person. Neotame, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose are the most popular sweeteners and are used in many products. These components disrupt the functioning of the intestine, destroying its microflora. Such violations lead to a disorder of metabolic processes. This, in turn, causes obesity and only increases blood glucose levels.
