Artificial Sweeteners: If you are giving up sugar and turning to sugar-free products (like artificial sweeteners) to reduce obesity, then it is important to understand that this method is not always safe or beneficial. In many cases, this may also cause adverse losses. Let us know about it in detail.
Nowadays almost everyone has become somewhat health conscious because of the Internet. Many people eat artificial sugar due to fear of sugar or diabetes. Nutritionist Devyani Haldar has told about whether it is right to eat artificial sugar.
Artificial sugar is used to reduce calories in food. What are the alternatives to sugar? It contains sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol, mannitol, erythritol and maltitol.
It contains synthetic sugar saccharin, ‘aspartame’ and ‘sucralose’, which have almost no calories. They are taken in tablet or powder form for easy consumption.
Many people use natural sugar made from extracts of plants like ‘Stevia’ as an alternative to sugar. The glycemic index and calories of these sweet things are zero.
These artificial sugars are low in calories but excessive use can cause other problems. Along with adults, children should also reduce their use.
