This was trendy today... if you didnt read it yet, here it is:
Now, I'll tell you right up front, I'm not a big fan of artificial
sweeteners. In fact, I think they're all toxic chemical garbage.
My thought is this...if you want something sweet, just eat it
with real sugar. It's what you eat MOST of the time that has
the biggest impact on your health and physique. So as long
as you're not chowing down on sugar all the time and you're
training regularly, a little sugar won't kill you.
It's not the best, obviously, but at least your body recognizes
what real sugar is and can deal with it.
Artificial sweeteners, on the hand, can cause some big-time
unintended side effects that most people don't realize.
Take Splenda®, for example...
Splenda®, also known as sucralose, is an artificial, chemical
sweetener.
Despite advertisements stating “Made from Sugar, so it Tastes
like Sugar”, which attempt to confuse consumers, Splenda®
is not natural and contains no elements of natural sugar.
You may also be surprised to learn that Splenda® contains
chlorine. Yes, the same chlorine that goes in swimming pools.
And here's the worst side effect:
Just like chlorine kills off micro-organisms in swimming pools,
Splenda® and sucralose kill off healthy bacteria that lives in
your gut -- healthy bacteria that are VITALLY important to
virtually every aspect of your health.
Recently, a study at the University of Duke confirmed this very
finding. Not only is sucralose a heavily-processed, chemical
artificial sweetener, but it's also damaging to your gut health,
which goes on to affect every other aspect of your health.
Here's a direct quote from that study:
"Splenda® suppresses beneficial bacteria and directly affects
the expression of the transporter P-gp and cytochrome P-450
isozymes that are known to interfere with the bioavailability of
nutrients. Furthermore, these effects occur at Splenda® doses
that contain sucralose levels that are approved by the FDA for
use in the food supply.”
Did you know that over 80% of your immune system finds it's
home in your gut? In fact, there are more than 100 TRILLION
living bacteria in your gut that control many aspects of your
health, and due to things like the ingestion of artificial
sweeteners like Splenda®, most folks have created a massive
bacterial imbalance in their body.
Now, go take a look at your whey jug and found what kind of sweetener is use into it, if it's low carbs, chance are that artificial sweetener are used in...
