Newport Beach Chiropractor: Sweet Danger & it's New Name

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. Artificial sweeteners play an important role in growing this epidemic that is associated with a large number of diseases and conditions. Your body uses the amount of real sugar you've taken as a way to calculate your calories for the day. In simple terms you use sweet taste to predict the caloric contents of foods. If you use sweet non-caloric substances, you may degrade this predictive relationship which then leads to positive energy balance; this means increased food intake followed by obesity and a large list of problems to come. Sugar additives have shown to be harmful to human body and have been linked with altered brain function, cancer and other neurological side effects. Dangerous additives under FDA approval include: Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, and Acesulfame K, and Neotame. Stay away from them!

These days you have to be smarter than the FDA and Pharmaceutical companies in order to stay healthy. Aspartame which is one of the most dangerously hidden toxin in zero-calorie foods and beverages is now changing it's name to Amino-sweet! This re-naming is taking place to market Aspartame as a natural sweetener. Educate yourself on what you put in your body.
