Many people follow daily habits that we believe are harmless, even if they are dangerous to our health.
Scientists from the University of Southern California have confirmed that regular consumption of sugar substitutes can lead to cancer, according to Russia Today.
And university doctors warn that a diet that contains a high percentage of foods rich in sugar substitutes can lead to the development of serious diseases.
The researchers conducted an experiment on laboratory rodents, in which they gave young rats different types of sugar substitutes, which caused memory disturbances and changes in brain regions.
And it became clear to researchers that local substances affect metabolism. So it can lead to diabetes and other serious diseases.
According to the researchers, the local substances that can harm the body are: –
Saccharin – Saccharin is not absorbed by the body. But using it regularly increases the risk of developing cancer.
Aspartame is found in large quantities in drinks that are low in calories. It should never be added to tea. Consuming regularly and for a long time increases the risk of developing liver and lung cancer and leads to brain damage.
– Cyclamate – This local substance is banned in many countries, as it causes liver failure.
– Acesulfame potassium – this substance is used to sweeten soft drinks, although it is considered a carcinogen.
Xylitol This sweetener is high in calories. It can cause a disturbance in the metabolism.
Researchers advise not to use food products containing these substances and to choose alternative materials.
