Artificial sweeteners linked to glucose intolerance
Artificial sweeteners, such us saccharin, sucralose or aspartame, have been used in the last years as a way of fighting calories, fat, and the most important, Diabetes. Basically they are sweeteners that can go until 20000 times sweeter than sugar, but instead of carry calories or create fat, they are made of substances that our body cannot absorb.
The problem comes when late studies made on mice revealed that these artificial sweeteners can produce glucose intolerance. one of the most reasonable reasons that could cause these is that artificial sweeteners are able to do any kind of change in our gut bacteria, producing that glucose couldn't be absorbed. The problem that these supposes is that the epidemic illness known us diabetes has this symptoms, usableness to absorb glucose in our body.
This provoques that these artificial sweeteners that were created for helping people infected by Diabetes in terms of use sweeteners in their food, but instead of that it helps diabetes to go further, and it can even cause that a healthy person would get Diabetes.
Although, this topic is still under study, and most of the businesses in charge of this product refuse to accept this results. There’s still a lot of research that has to be done, and maybe, find out why this artificial sweeteners produce the change on the bacteria gut, and probably fix it.
