Is aspartame dangerous?

No Comments
9 years ago

Aspartame and similar sweeteners were developed to provide people with a low-calorie substitute for sugar to improve chances for weight loss. There has been a lot of talk for many years concerning whether or not aspartame is bad for the health. However, according to the FDA and more than 100 clinical and toxicological trials of aspartame’s effects, it is decidedly safe for human consumption at – and in fact, far above – suggested servings.

However, anything in excess can be bad for your health. In general, Americans eat far too much sugar – some research shows that we eat our body weight in sugar each year! Too much of the sweet stuff can cause various health problems, including:

  • Weight gain – sugar means calories. However, some research shows that the prolonged eating of too much sugar can lessen the body’s ability to know when it is full, causing people to eat more.
  • Elevated blood sugar levels.
  • Decreased brain function. Too much sugar consumption can impair memory and learning.

However, our bodies do need sugar to function, but we typically get enough sugar for energy from natural sources in our diets, including:

  • fruits
  • grains
  • vegetables
  • whole grain products

Many people crave sugary drinks like soda or juice, as well as candy. But you can do a lot to reduce your sugar intake by ditching these products. Rather than reaching for soda or juice, add some lemon and mint to your water for a refreshing taste. Also, instead of candy, eat unsweetened dried fruit or fresh fruit to satisfy your craving.

Also, beware of hidden sugars. Many products like pasta sauces, yogurt and bread have added sugar that really isn’t necessary. Be vigilant about your food choices to protect your health.
