Stay away from any diet soda or foods, sugar-free candies, and gum containing artificial sweeteners such as sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame K, and neotame, among others!
The safety data on these sweeteners is shrouded in controversy and conflicts of interest with the manufacturers of these chemical compounds.
Independent research strongly suggests that when metabolized in the body, these sweeteners can cause health-related issues and problems related to metabolism and weight gain, neurological diseases, joint pain, digestive problems, headaches, depression, inflammatory bowel disease, chemical toxicity, and cancer, among others.
If you're craving a soda but want to avoid the shady sweeteners, fake food dyes, and preservatives found in popular brands, try a bottle of Steaz Sparkling Green Tea or brew your own kombucha, a naturally bubbly fermented tea that's easy to make at home.
