Are Artificial Sweeteners Bad For Your Health?

I always say I have a major sweet tooth, but really all people do; humans are biologically designed to prefer the taste of sweetness. In our modern culture, this natural desire for sweetness has been exploited by food companies trying to hook consumers by adding sugar to just about everything. Unlike the natural sugar found in food, artificial sweeteners are either low or calorie-free and therefore intially thought to be a healthier alternative to sugar. But a food’s calorie content isn’t a good measure of its healthfulness. Today we're taking a look at the real science on these fake substitutes.
