Almost every woman enjoys a warm cup of coffee. And many of us choose to add sugar or sweetener to our morning cup of Joe. But, according to
Marla Ahlgrimm, artificial sweeteners may not be as sweet as they seem.
Marla Ahlgrimm explains that there are five types of artificial sweetener that have been approved by the FDA. These are acesulfame, saccharin, neotame, aspartame, and sucralose. These come in many name brands, including Sweet n’ Low and Equal.
On the surface, artificial sweeteners seem like a logical move. They are non-nutritive, but a little bit goes a long way. Because of this, we can add a sweetness to our food and beverage to make them more enjoyable. Unfortunately, because we believe we are doing the right thing, our brain says it’s okay to splurge in other areas. For example, you might have a cup of coffee with Sweet n’ Low with a doughnut on the side.
