Sweeteners

Diabetes and high cholesterol are two major health concerns that Americans face. Many times, a diet high in sugar can predispose one to the development of diabetes. Artificial sweeteners can be a helpful tool to reduce energy intake and body weight and thereby risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).  Some studies from the USA point toward decreased body weight and lower risk of type-2 diabetes and coronory heart diseases with increased intake of artificial sweeteners compared with sugar. For those with a sweet tooth, healthy alternative sweeteners could be just the thing to satisfy that desire.
