A new study from Purdue University has come up with some interesting results of tests on artificial sweeteners. I’ve seen some of this info around the web before, but this is the most recent study and seems to confirm what other studies have found.
I’ve tried to remove all artificial sweeteners from my diet since the beginning of the year. I have noticed a huge change in my cravings and health. Looking back on it now, I can say with 100% confidence, there was definitely a link between me drinking Diet Pepsi and my junk food cravings.
Hi Steve, Also artificial sweeteners usually contain ‘Aspartame’ which is connected to many health conditions. This stuff is leathal.
Take care,
Andrew
I’m glad to see that study is waking people up. “Diet” sodas keep fat people fat. I used to drink three to four Diet Mountain Dews every day… when I read some things about aspertame and brain chemistry, I was scared enough to cut it out of my diet cold turkey. Within a few weeks I noticed that I could think more clearly, I wasn’t craving junk food as much, and a dull headache that I didn’t even know I had disappeared.
Our addiction to diet sodas exposes the real problem… sweet cravings. Mastering you body means mastering it’s destructive cravings. As Americans, we all have this conditioned impulse for sweetness in our foods. Even after cutting aspertame out of my foods, it took me a long time to kick the sweetness conditioning with a concerted effort to eat more raw vegetables. Now, I can taste the natural sweetness of foods and it’s amazing. I indulge in chocolate occaisonally, but foods that I used to love now seem too sweet to eat.
Anyway, found a little soap box here and had to stand up on it. Thanks.
BTW, congrats on your Bellyoff progress… that’s how I found this blog.
