Alternative Sweeteners And Cancer
Our bodies crave carbohydrates in all forms. Sometimes, we crave starchy substances like flour; at other times, we want a treat to satisfy the "sweet tooth." For most of us, sugars and sweeteners are a part of daily life. Billions of people around the globe use sweeteners on a daily basis. For those concerned about empty calories or erratic blood sugar levels, artificial or alternative sweeteners have become a popular option.
There is a great deal of debate, however, about the connection between alternative sweeteners and cancer. Sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharin have been studied intensively by scientists concerned about cancer. While the results are somewhat inconclusive, several documented studies in lab rats have concluded that cancer conditions like lymphomas, leukemias, and tumors on various organs were caused by prolonged ingestion of aspartame. Avoiding Alternative Sweeteners and Cancer
While the jury is still technically out, many health experts around the world suggest avoiding aspartame. Instead, they urge people to switch to naturally occurring alternative sweeteners like Xylitol. Xylitol is found in natural plants and foods and is even produced by the human body. Sweeter than sugar, Xylitol is a sugar-free, aspartame-free alternative that can be used in products like chewing gum. Our research at ElimiTaste has shown that our gum--packed with healthy Xylitol--is both highly effective at eliminating bad breath and an extremely safe alternative to gums with sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame.
