It’s tip Tuesday…
Did you know that artificial sweeteners can exacerbate or even cause bladder issues? This could be leakage, frequent trips to the bathroom, and/or urgency.
Artificial sweeteners like to hide out in places you may not think about…light yogurt, light juice, sugar free coffee creamers and syrups, low-sugar baked goods, diet/zero calorie soda, ketchup, chewing gum, and cereals.
Some of the artificial sweeteners to be on the look out for include: Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K), Saccharin, Neotame, and Advantame.
Obviously, a high sugar diet is not ideal either because of the systemic effects sugar can have. You need a balance that works for you and any medical conditions you may have.
