with the widespread use of sugar substitutes, the debate about whether it is really beneficial is also being debated in academia and in the media.

This trend has allowed

"People's growing concerns about health and nutrition, but there is no way to say goodbye to sweetness. From the age of two, Americans consume more artificial sugars than fruits or vegetables every day, and children consume far more sugar (usually from unilateral and artificial foods) than recommended (less than
25g
per day). This is a disturbing statistic because it means that people have established their dietary preferences at a very young age. Dr.
Nicole Avena
, a visiting professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University, said getting people to cut back on sugar is similar to recommending that addicts consume only a small amount

heroin.
”For consumers, the emergence of substitute sugar can not only replace the sweet taste of sugar, but also do not create a physical burden, why not? For food and beverage manufacturers, sugar substitutes are a strategy to keep people comfortable eating sugar in disguise: mixing several low-caramels increases the ability to taste and costs less than sucrose.Photo Source: China Snack Network 02Health Debate on Substitute Sugar Former Coca-Cola Director of Health and Nutrition

highlights several key benefits of low caramel
:
providing calorie-free or low-calorie sweetness, providing sweets to diabetics, improving the ability to eat sugar, and helping with weight control and improved dietary quality., the use of substitute or low-caramel sugars provides a viable solution for reducing sugar and meets the dual needs of consumers for health and deliciousness. However, with the widespread use of substitute sugar, the debate about whether it is really beneficial has been discussed in academia and in the media. Some studies have shown that sugar substitutes help with weight loss, but there is also evidence that substitute sugars contribute to weight gain and induce related health disorders. , some experts believe that drinking low-sugar or sugar-free drinks will not change the damage to teeth. Because the acid properties of carbonated beverages themselves are the main culprits that threaten tooth enamel. File photo:
Google 03 Weight gain and metabolic abnormalities are associated with the use of artificial sweeteners Although there is extensive research and consistent evidence that long-term use of aspartas and sucralose does not affect blood sugar or response to glucose load

but clinical trials and studies have mostly studied the use of a single substitute sugar

and in real life, people taking a single substitute sugar is almost non-existent. In addition to common sugar packs and sodas, sugar substitutes include cereal products such as bread, cereals and cereals, sugar-free or refined

yogurt dairy products, sugar-free ice cream and flavored milk, etc.; Many studies have shown that mixing low-carbab or artificial sweeteners with certain other elements can lead to weight gain and metabolic abnormalities, such as the combination of sucralose and glucose, which can increase glucose absorption in rodents, which can trigger elevated blood sugar, possibly due to an increase in the induction of two major intestinal glucose transport proteins,
SGLT-1
and
GLUT2
. human studies have shown that when used in a combined with oral glucose, aspartame, saccharin and sucralose can activate pancreas or intestinal sweetening ligands, causing insulin or glucoglycline-like peptides

Recently, sucralose was found to change the brain through
(
is not alone) when it was found to change the brain, causing metabolic syndrome in the human body and leading to long-term variations, not only in the metabolism of carbon and sugar in beverages, but also in other meals. The symptoms are a poor mixture of high blood pressure and blood sugar, leading to weight gain and an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. makes most people wonder how long it takes to separate artificial sweeteners if they can't be used with carbon water.
