If you like sugar and want to get sexy arms, you're in for a long ride. But not all hope is lost because of artificial sweeteners. They give you all the taste without the arm fat gain.
Seems like a good deal, right?
Unfortunately, there is a growing body of research showing that artificial sweeteners can be very unhealthy for you.
So without further ado, here is what you need to know about low calorie sweeteners and sexy arms:
1. They can increase cancer risk. A solid study showed that low calorie sweeteners can increase cancer risk by thirty percent, not good! The good news, however, is that the increase in cancer was associated with the highest levels of intake.
2. They're within many products. Companies love to inject their food with abundant and varied quantities of artificial sweeteners because it allows them to market products as being low calorie. So beware and lookout for sweeteners in all places.
3. All studies to date have been short term. Most of the studies proving low calorie sweetener's safety have been extremely short and have been performed by the manufacturers, not good. Moreover, a lot of the results of the studies have been skewed and misinterpreted.
4. Popular sweeteners are toxic. Aspartame, also known as Equal or NutraSweet, was found to be toxic in the largest rodent study to have ever been conducted. Now although rodents are much different from humans, this still raises a flag of caution.
5. All natural sweeteners can be just as bad. Stevia, an all natural sweetener, has been found to convert into a mutagen within the human intestine. I used to love this stuff, not any more.
Nobody knows if artificial sweeteners are safe in the long run. So please do not assume that you can load up on this stuff without any ill consequences. And please ignore all the marketing hype. The research proving long term safety does NOT exist. In the end, getting thin and sexy arms should not decrease your health, it should increase it.
