Hereβs why I avoid products with aspartame at all costsβ¦
β οΈ A study in France found that people are more likely to get cancer if they consume artificial sweeteners (such as Aspartame). Specifically breast and obesity-related cancers.
β οΈ Aspartame has been shown to contribute to weight gain by encouraging sugar cravings. When you eat something sweet β even when it has no calories β your brain is tricked into wanting more calories because your body is not getting enough energy (i.e. calories) to be satisfied.
β οΈ Aspartame was originally created in a lab during pharmaceutical development. It was found to be sweet by accident when a researcher licked his finger!
What sweeteners to choose instead?
Look for products sweetened with real food and natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and monk fruit.
