5 Things You Need To Know About Sexy Arms And Sweeteners
High sugar intakes and thin arms do not mix well. Hence, the utility of artificial sweeteners. They provide the taste without the calories.
Seems like a good deal, right?
Well, recent research has been demonstrating that artificial sweeteners are extremely unhealthy to the point of causing cancer.
So here are 5 things you need to know about sexy arms and sweeteners:
1. Studies have shown higher cancer rates. By how much? 30%! Only the highest intakes of sweeteners showed this increase, however. So don't freak out. The key here is to practice moderation, and if possible, elimination.
2. They're hidden in many foods. You are probably eating a substantial amount of low calorie sweeteners without even knowing it. Nowadays, food companies are loading their products with multiple combinations of sweeteners to buffer any bad after tastes.
3. Studies showing safety have NOT been long term. Every single study done on artificial sweeteners has been short term. Not good. And most of them have been conducted by the manufactures. Thus, the research is both short term and biased.
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. All natural sweeteners can be just as bad. Stevia, an all natural sweetener, has been found to convert into a mutagen within the human intestine. I used to love this stuff, not any more
At the end of the day, we still don't know how safe artificial sweeteners are. My personal advice would be to not take the risk and eliminate them as much as possible from your diet. After all, getting thin arms doesn't have to be unhealthy. In fact, it should increase your health. And remember: do not pay attention to all the marketing hype. Only pay attention to peer reviewed research. - 17273
