Thought for the Day

Artificial Sweeteners - Not so sweet?

We all need a little sweetness in our lives. Unfortunately, sweetening your food or drinks with artificial sweetener isn’t the best solution.

Although considered to be safe when consumed in moderation (no more than 18-23 mg per pound of body weight per day), the sweetener aspartame has been linked to an increase in your brain’s vulnerability to stress, as well as potentially causing negative effects on emotions and learning when consumed in excess. Studies have also found that people who consume artificially sweetened drinks have an increased risk of stroke and dementia

 

 

 

 

 

Alternatives

  • Water is always going to be the healthiest drink possible. Add cucumbers, berries, or citrus fruits for added flavor.
  • Choose homemade treat foods and derive their sweetness from fresh fruits or specific vegetables – you can do a lot with applesauce and sweet potato!
