Many people do daily habits that we think are harmless, even though they are dangerous to our health.
University of Southern California scientists confirmed that regular consumption of sugar substitutes may lead to cancer, according to Russia Today.
And university doctors warn that a diet that contains a high percentage of food items rich in sugar substitutes may become a cause of the development of serious diseases.
The researchers conducted an experiment on laboratory rodents, where they gave the young rats several types of sugar substitutes, which caused memory disturbances and changes in brain regions.
And it became clear to the researchers, that the local substances affect the 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 contain few calories. It should never be added to tea. Consuming it 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 a number of 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.
The researchers advise not to use food products containing these substances and to choose alternative materials.
