This isn’t new news... I’ve been telling my patients for years how bad artificial sweeteners are. Diet sodas, Splenda and sweet ‘n low products are harmful, and increasing your risk for Diabetes and weight gain is just the tip of the ice burg. Low fat yogurts often also contain aspartame, always read ingredients! Long term effects are still not well studied. Aspartame is a neurotoxin. 🚫🚫🚫

If you’re a daily user of artificial sweeteners, I recommend that you take steps to eliminate them from you diet, or use them only occasionally
