5 Things You Need To Know About Sexy Arms And Sweeteners

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Getting sexy arms while battling a sugar addiction is extremely hard. Low calorie sweeteners, however, will appease your sweet tooth while providing negligible amounts of calories.

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 here are 5 things you need to know about sexy arms and sweeteners:

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 hidden in many foods. You are probably eating a substantial amount of low calorie sweeteners without even knowing it. Nowadays, food companies are loading their products with multiple combinations of sweeteners to buffer any bad after tastes.

3. Studies showing safety have NOT been long term. Every single study done on artificial sweeteners has been short term. Not good. And most of them have been conducted by the manufactures. Thus, the research is both short term and biased.

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. Natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Stevia is a sweetener that is marketed as being all natural and therefore healthier. Studies, however, have shown that it turns into a mutagen within the intestine.

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. - 17269
