These are some of the most important risks to which you are exposed by the consumption of drinks or foods that contain artificial sweeteners. Toxicity of the artificial sweeteners aspartame and sucralose, two artificial sweeteners that are often located in the composition of snacks, can alter the function of the kidneys. A study at Boston’s Brigham and Women Hospital revealed that prolonged consumption of foods and beverages that contain these artificial sweeteners cause degradation of the kidney by 30 percent over 10 years. The European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and environmental sciences studies confirmed that artificial sweeteners play an important role in the development of the health conditions such as: * cancerous tumors * in multiple organs injuries * leukemia * lymphomas * nerve damage * premature death * seizures * transitional cell Carcinomas taking into account the gravity of some of the health conditions mentioned above, becomes quite obvious why it is important to avoid foods that contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame.

In people who consume food and drinks that contain artificial sweeteners, the circulating levels of GLP-1 (peptide similar to glucagon-1) are significantly higher.

GLP-1 is a hormone secreted in the small intestine, whose function is to create the feeling of satiety in the brain. Higher levels of GLP-1 implies that people who eat snacks with artificial sweeteners tend to eat less in the long run, but other studies They demonstrate that obesity causes sweeteners such as lead. Artificial sweeteners and obesity aspartame, sucralose and other artificial sweeteners send signals to the brain, making the body think that sweet foods and beverages contain fewer calories than those who actually have.
