HIDDEN HAZARD IN ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!

POPULAR artificial sweeteners should be consumed with caution because they may raise the risk of type 2 diabetes and other life-threatening conditions, experts warn.

Scientists from Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science and Maryland’s Johns Hopkins University enlisted 120 volunteers, who were each given either a placebo or one of four sweeteners at amounts lower than the recommended limits up to three times a week for 14 days.

Study participants wore glucose monitors throughout the trial to track how the sweeteners affected their blood sugar levels and also underwent glucose tolerance tests.
