What´s wrong with artificial sweeteners?

Currently, there are five artificial sweeteners approved by the FDA: acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, and sucralose. Many people replace concentrated sugar with alternative sweeteners with a goal of losing weight or managing diabetes. However, studies show that artificial sweeteners can actually increase your cravings for sweet foods and thus even lead to obesity. Also, studies show that artificial sweeteners appear to contribute to the cell damage in the liver and other organs, diabetes, and hormonal imbalance. Aspartame is considered one of the most dangerous sweeteners since it is linked to cancer development as shown in several animal studies.
