5 Facts to Know About Artificial Sweetners
4. They can cause long-term ailments
When we use artificial sweeteners for a long time, they bring side effects like headaches, skin problems, problems in bladder functioning, fatigue, a disturbed digestive system, and high blood pressure or hyper tension. These ailments don’t get cured easily till we completely stop the intake of the sweetener that we are using.
5. They can cause cancer
It was found in the studies done in 1970s that bladder cancer can be caused due to long term use of artificial sweeteners. A study in 2005 also talks about blood cancer caused due to overdose of aspartame in rats.
