Gravitas: Artificial sweeteners or killer sweeteners

Aerated drinks, ice creams, yogurts, even the most ordinary chewing gum, are full of artificial sweeteners which can cause strokes, blood clots, and believe it or not... it can also result in death. Do not let artificial sweeteners turn your life sour. Molly Gambhir reports.

Remember even if you watch this video to check sources and take what you see with a grain of salt (pun not intended). What's true for sure is that more research needs to be done before it can affect legislation and regulation.

Edit: Just to be clear, artificial sweeteners are generally agreed to be harmful. Some people don't have a choice about their diet based on location, so I'd just like to add that the extent to which they are harmful is what is in question.

I don't use any sugar. Ice cream have minimum amount of antifreeze to be able to scoop it out.

Jaggery and stevia are much better alternatives to sugar.

I used Splenda for years leading up to my blood clot. Did it contribute? I don’t know. I know the three things that did that maybe this was the fourth. I still didn’t quit using it for several more years. The problem is artificial sweeteners still set of insulin because the brain does it know the difference between sugar and artificial sweetener but if the point is lowering our insulin, artificial sweeteners are not going to do that.

What about Sugarfree NATURA? That's sucrolose! Any update on that ?

[ryangreen]

Stevia is good shiet... getting it without the E is pricier, but much better on insides.

[DeepThinkersClub]

I used to use 6 Splendas in my coffee each morning, and I had horrible stomach pain issues I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. My sister mentioned maybe I should cut the Splenda out. Sure enough! This was the problem.
