Sweeteners are dangerous for health. Decryption on the 12/13 set, Wednesday May 17, with doctor and journalist Damien Mascret.
The World Health Organization warns of the long-term risks of sweeteners. “First, on the weight, it is useless to lose weight. In the study, the WHO realizes that we increase our risk of obesity by 6% when we regularly consume these famous sweeteners”, says doctor and journalist Damien Mascret on the set of 12/13. Indeed, fake sugars maintain the taste of sweetness, but the brain “love sugar”.
Increased risk of diabetes and stroke
Regarding health risks, that of type 2 diabetes increases by 23% with regular consumption of sweeteners, that of stroke by 19%, and hypertension by 13%. “And maybe there would be an increased risk of cancer”, adds the doctor. The microbiome, the intestinal flora, is indeed disrupted by sweeteners. If you can’t do without sweets, it’s always better to have these “fake sugar” than real sugar, but the best thing is to consume as little as possible.
