In most cases we recommend our patients avoid artificial sweeteners at all costs because of the negative side effects and increased risk of diabetes. This includes avoiding diet sodas, diet tea, flavored watered, vitamin water and any other sugar free drink with artificial sweeteners! Thanks to our good friend Dr Hyman for posting this!

In a study of heart disease, people who consumed diet drinks every day had a greater risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Artificial sweeteners have proven to be carcinogenic in animal studies. They wreak havoc on your gut microbes, destroying beneficial bacteria and causing glucose intolerance. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Something that tastes sweet but contains zero calories may sound like the perfect cure for sugar addiction. But it’s not, and here’s why. Normally, when you eat or drink something sweet, it’s accompanied by lots of calories. But not when you consume artificial sweeteners. This confuses your brain. It senses that the taste of sugar without the accompanying calories from glucose and fructose is wrong, and it tries to correct the imbalance by making you hungrier. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not only that, but it also confuses and slows your metabolism down, so you burn less calories every day.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bottom line: There is no free ride. Diet drinks are not good substitutes for sugar-sweetened drinks. They still (or even more) increase cravings, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes. And they are addictive.⁣⁣
