Scientoon on “Artificial sweeteners are Harmful to Guts bacteria”
Artificial sweeteners are used in routine for many food
products and soft drinks to reduce sugar content & most of people use it without
knowledge about it. Artificial sweeteners are environmental pollutants, and can
be found in drinking and surface water, and groundwater aquifers.
The collaborative study indicated relative toxicity of six
artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, saccharine, neotame, advantame,
and acesulfame potassium-k) and 10 sport supplements containing these
artificial sweeteners. The bacteria found in the digestive system became toxic
when exposed to concentrations of only one mg./ml. of the artificial
sweeteners.
