Beware the Latest ‘Diet’ Fad: Artificial Sweeteners Fortified With Vitamins and Minerals
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/a...=555159298
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Merisant has created a brand-new line of artificial sweeteners fortified with vitamins and minerals under the company’s Equal Plus brand, and is available in three versions: vitamin C and zinc; B vitamins; antioxidant formula with vitamins C and E
The products are marketed as a “good source” of these nutrients, as a single packet provides 10 percent of the daily recommended value of the added vitamins and minerals
The addition of vitamins and minerals does absolutely nothing to change the artificial sweetener’s detrimental impact on your health. Studies have shown artificial sweeteners raise your risk of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and related health conditions
Artificial sweeteners promote metabolic dysfunction by interfering with learned responses that contribute to glucose control and energy homeostasis
They also destroy gut microbiota, induce glucose intolerance and interact with sweet-taste receptors expressed throughout your digestive system that play a role in glucose absorption and trigger insulin secretion
