6) Artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are extremely prevalent in many snacks, desserts, and other products. Even though they have no nutritional value, consuming them can cause an imbalance of the hormones responsible for regulating weight. Consumption also changes the way your body metabolizes sugar, making it more difficult to keep your blood sugar levels balanced. As such, artificial sweeteners can contribute to the likelihood of developing diabetes or obesity. Sugar substitutes: These synthetic substances are usually marketed as being healthy alternatives to sugar but these health benefits may not be as advertised. For example, some studies indicate that diet soda drinkers may face a higher risk of developing heart disease than those who don’t consume any soda at all. Moreover, these substances can affect how the bacteria in your gut process food which then affects your appetite and how much fat you produce from food digestion
