Most of these artificial sweeteners are bad news, either for your heart or your brain, and probably for your pancreas as well, since “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.”
I have many allergies and have never considered being allergic as a benefit but in this study being allergic to all the artificial sweeteners, except saccharine, has benefited me. I’m an obsessed label reader because some sweeteners aren’t considered artificial but they cause me problems. Stevia is one. One drink and the inside of my mouth is burning.
My mother used saccharine daily and I believe that slow exposure in the tea and iced tea she made resulted in no allergic reaction for me. So I drink one pink packet a day!
