10 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Consume Splenda Regularly

by Jane Kenney

4 years ago

We all want to do what’s best by our bodies. For the longest time, we’ve been made to think that no/low-calorie artificial sweeteners are better for us. This includes not only Splenda in our coffees but also our diet Cokes and Pepsis. Turns out, we’re all better off just using the real thing, and not opting for a no-calorie substitute.

While Splenda can be incredibly tasty and the perfect addition to our coffee or tea, it really is not much better for you than regularly processed sugar. Here are 10 things that can happen to your body when you consume Splenda regularly.

1. You’re at a higher risk for disease

Medical News Today

Holistic Health Coach, Amy Kaneff, has confirmed that by using artificial sweeteners every day, you put your body at 67% greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. There’s also a 36% greater chance of developing metabolic syndrome, which includes elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar and cholesterol, and an increased waistline, according to Kaneff.

2. Nutritional deficiencies

According to Nutritionist Jennifer Insel, MS, “Food additives and sweeteners make a difference in our eating habits and brain patterns. Even if these food additives or sweeteners provide no sugar or calories, they simulate the sweet sensation in the foods they are added to.” This means the inevitable increase of the processed, poor food choices.

3. Memory loss

By consuming artificial sweeteners every single day, it ultimately begins to affect your cognition, worsened memory, and other brain issues, such as impacting your neural senses. The best way to avoid this is consuming natural sweeteners in moderation.

4. Depression

Artificial sweeteners actually play a huge role in interfering with the brain’s neural pathways, meaning it can disrupt the production of serotonin, the hormone for ‘happiness’.

5. Weight gain

This is pretty much a no-brainer. An increase on artificial sweeteners also calls for an increase in fat storage, particularly in the stomach area.

    Does Stevia  sweetner act the same as splenda?

      No, because stevia is a natural sweetener (it comes from a plant), and Splenda is not. Ultimately, your body doesn’t know how to process the Splenda, so it causes all these problems. Best to use stevia or monkfruit.
