Scientists at the University of Southern California have confirmed that regular consumption of sugar substitutes can cause cancer.
And university doctors warn that a diet containing a high proportion of foods rich in sugar substitutes can cause the development of serious diseases.
The researchers conducted an experiment on laboratory rats, where they gave the young rats different types of sugar substitutes, which caused memory disturbances and changes in brain regions.
And it became clear to researchers that local substances affect metabolism. So it can lead to diabetes and other serious diseases.
According to researchers, local substances that can harm the body are:
Saccharin – Saccharin is not absorbed by the body. But its regular use increases the risk of developing cancer.
Aspartame is found in large amounts in low-calorie drinks. It should not be added to tea. Its regular and long-term consumption increases the risk of liver and lung cancer, and causes brain damage.
– Cyclamate – This topical ingredient is banned in some countries, because it causes liver failure.
– Acesulfame potassium – this ingredient is used to sweeten soft drinks, although it is considered a carcinogen.
Xylitol This sweetener is high in calories. It can cause disturbance in metabolism.
Researchers advise not to use food products containing these ingredients and choose alternative materials.
