Here is a video about the risks and studies of the different artificial sweeteners on the market. Some information included is the history of the artificial sweetener and the ingredients. Some studies done on rats show that most artificial sweeteners are more harmful to rats than to humans, but that the brain doesn't differentiate between real and artifical sugars. The video also shows which sweeteners to avoid and which are safer, but recommends natural sugars. The video is twenty-four minutes long, but is very informative.

From Authorid: 11097I have seen numerous video's on the dangers of artificial sweeteners. Processed sugar is not good for you either, but the artificial ones that they claim are good for diabetics is wrong- the body does not know the difference between splenda and sugar... neither is good for you. Not to mention splenda is linked to causing brain tumors... yikes. And it's in all kinda of drinks and foods now. Thanks for sharing, it's important to get this information out there. (And, use Stevia, honey, or agave!)
