Artificial Sweeteners...uh-oh!

One of the headlines today... a diet study of 400 people...and lots of mice...

Artificial sweeteners may lead to diabetes - USA Today

Here's the other headline...

Research Shows Zero-Calorie Sweeteners Can Raise Blood Sugar - Wall Street Journal

And another...

Artificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota: Nature.com

My sister and father lived on diet soda for years and both of them were obese and/or overweight. My sister would use little packets of artificial sweeteners regularly in everything from baking recipes to her tea.  It's no coincidence that their health was affected, I believe, by their ongoing intake of artificial sweeteners.

As a result of their use of artificial sweeteners, no one in my family uses artificial sweeteners anymore.  They probably saved our lives... but it cost them theirs.

Reassess and reconsider your use of non-caloric artificial sweeteners today...please...
