5 Things You Need To Know About Sexy Arms And Sweeteners

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you like sugar and want to get sexy arms, you're in for a long ride. But not all hope is lost. How so? Because of artificial sweeteners. They give you all the taste without the arm fat gain.

Seems like a good deal, right?

Unfortunately, there is a growing body of research showing that artificial sweeteners can be very unhealthy for you.

So here are 5 things you need to know about sexy arms and sweeteners:

1. They can increase cancer. Large intakes of artificial sweeteners have been linked to increases in cancer of up to 30%. So I wouldn't suggest loading up on endless cans of diet soda. And make sure you don't have more than a couple servings of any sweetener per day.

2. Companies hide them in many products. In order to avoid the strange aftertastes, most companies will load their low calorie products with many different artificial sweeteners. The more sweeteners, the less aftertaste.

3. All studies to date have been short term. Most of the studies proving low calorie sweetener's safety have been extremely short and have been performed by the manufacturers. Not good. Moreover, a lot of the results of the studies have been skewed and misinterpreted.

4. Popular sweeteners are toxic. Aspartame, also known as Equal or NutraSweet, was found to be toxic in the largest rodent study to have ever been conducted. Now although rodents are much different from humans, this still raises a flag of caution.

5. Just because it's natural doesn't make it safer. Stevia use to be my favorite sweetener because it's natural. Then I came across some research showing that it converts into a mutagen within the human intestine. Not good, even if you really want thin arms!

Nobody knows if artificial sweeteners are safe in the long run. So please do not assume that you can load up on this stuff without any ill consequences. And please ignore all the marketing hype. The research proving long term safety does NOT exist. In the end, getting thin and sexy arms should not decrease your health. It should increase it. - 17273
