Artificial Sweeteners Aren't Free Calories (Splenda, Aspartame, Ace K)

<p>In today's episode, we're talking about Aspartame, Sucralose (Splenda), and acesulfame potassium (Ace K). These are truly artificial substances created by taking molecules in a lab combining them and creating something that will produce an artificial sweet surge that is 100's of times greater than nature could produce on its own.</p> <p>It would seem that if I removed sugar from my food and instead used a zero calorie artificial sweetener that I would experience positive body composition changes, improved blood sugar and insulin regulation but when we go from a natural substance to an artificial one, we end up with fat gained, bacterial imbalance, and blood sugar dysregulation.</p> <p>Artificial sweeteners are made in the lab through the combing of multiple molecules. They are supposed to mimic the flavor of sugar without having a caloric or energy value.This sounds great in theory.</p> <p>But in reality the consumption of artificial sweeteners is short sighted, and the idea that we can trick human physiology and neurology is childish. When artificial sweeteners are consumed, our brains, bacteria and pancreas, metabolize them through a different pathway than actual sugar. The end result is more fat gained, less impulse control when it comes to food, and overall increased caloric intake.</p> <p>----------</p> <p>Download 12 easy and delicious recipes the whole family will love.</p> <p>⬇️⬇️⬇️</p> <p><a href= "https://drwholeness.com/healthymealsmadeeasy">https://drwholeness.com/healthymealsmadeeasy</a> </p> <p>Ask your lifestyle health questions on social media, tag @drwholeness and use #accumulatehealth.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Connect with Dr. Matt online:</p> <p>📍 Instagram </p> <p><a href= "https://instagram.com/drwholeness">https://instagram.com/drwholeness</a></p> <p>📍 Facebook</p> <p><a href= "https://facebook.com/drwholeness">https://facebook.com/drwholeness</a></p> <p>📍 Website</p> <p><a href= "https://drwholeness.com/">https://drwholeness.com</a></p> <p>📍 YouTube</p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/chann
