🚫 Think sugar-free means gut-friendly? Think again!
Many artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, and acesulfame K can actually disrupt your gut microbiome - leading to inflammation, poor digestion, and reduced beneficial bacteria 🦠
📛 Studies show these sweeteners may:
• Alter gut bacterial balance (PMID: 37111090)
• Increase gut inflammation (PMID: 28790923)
• Reduce good bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (PMID: 35458244)
✅ Better swap? Go for **natural options** like:
