Sexy And Thin Arms With Low Calorie Sweeteners
High sugar intakes and thin arms do not mix well. Hence, the utility of artificial sweeteners. They provide the taste without the calories.
Sounds great, right?
Well, the main issue here is that a growing body of evidence is beginning to show that low calorie sweeteners have a whole host of negative side effects.
So without further ado, here is what you need to know about low calorie sweeteners and sexy arms:
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. 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. Safety studies have been short term. All studies showing the safety of sweeteners have been very short term. Even worse, they have been conducted by the companies themselves. Very little unbiased research is out there right now.
4. Aspartame was found to be toxic in rodents. The largest rodent study to have ever been conducted found that aspartame (i.e., equal or NutraSweet) increases rates of various cancers. And the legal limit for aspartame consumption in the United States and Europe is twice the amount given to the rodents.
5. Natural doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. Stevia is a sweetener that is marketed as being all natural and therefore healthier. Studies, however, have shown that it turns into a mutagen within the intestine.
The bottom line is that we do NOT know if low calorie sweeteners are safe for long term consumption. Thus, I recommend that you limit your low calorie sweetener intake to no more than 3 servings per day. And less is better here. So the best approach is to have the bare minimum necessary! After all, getting sexy arms should not damage your health!
