Artificial Sweetener Information

I have been doing quite a bit of research online pertaining to these additives that have a profound hold on our society and have found some troubling information. I believe in free will, and a person's ability to choose what they want to ingest, but I also believe in giving people the facts about what they put into their bodies, and let them decide if it is worth it. The links that I have added to this post will redirect you to some informational sites pertaining to synthetic sweeteners. Please read and whatever you decide, just make it an informed decision the next time you go to the store.

Regarding the use of artificial sweeteners...the key word is artificial. For optimal health eat as close as possible to nature and that includes your choice of sweeteners. I hope the links will give you an idea about what voluntary usage of chemically-derived sweeteners can cause, and if any of the symptoms apply to you, I hope you find the way to change your mind about what you ingest every day.
