Many people turn to artificial sweeteners to trim carbs and calories from their diets. But research indicates that sugar substitutes may actually alter the function of bacteria in the human gut in a way that can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Cutting out sugar isn’t hard when you adopt a diet packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, plant-based protein, and good fats.
Strong evidence shows that this type of meal plan contributes to weight loss, can help cure type II diabetes, and can prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, and
other lifestyle-related illnesses. So say goodbye to artificial sweeteners and hello to better health.
