The Bitter Truth: How Artificial Sweeteners May Affect Future Generations
A recent study on mice suggests that artificial sweeteners like sucralose and stevia may negatively impact gut microbiome and gene expression, effects that could be passed to future generations. The study highlights potential metabolic and inflammatory responses, posing unanswered questions about their link to rising obesity and metabolic disorders.
Negative effects of artificial sweeteners may pass on to next-generation, study suggests
Health organizations are starting to raise concerns about the potential long-term impacts of artificial sweeteners, which taste sweet but—unlike sugar—contain no calories, suggesting they could interfere with energy metabolism and increase the eventual risk of diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Now a new study in mice indicates that the popular sweeteners sucralose and stevia have negative […] The post Negative effects of artificial sweeteners …
A study in mice has revealed that consuming artificial sweeteners as common as sucralose and stevia has negative effects on genes that can be transmitted to offspring.The post A study with mice reveals that damage from artificial sugars passes to children was first published in Digital Process.
Now, a study in mice published in Frontiers in Nutrition demonstrates that the harmful effects of these sweeteners on the gut microbiota and gene expression are also passed down from generation to generation. According to Francisca Concha Celume, the study's author and a researcher at the University of Chile, these substances can alter both the diversity and composition of the fecal microbiota. In fact, the mice in the study that consumed sucral…
Study Suggests Artificial Sweeteners’ Negative Effects Could Impact
In recent years, non-nutritive sweeteners have become a popular alternative to sugar in many beverages, especially diet sodas, due to their ability to provide sweetness without calories. However, emerging concerns from health organizations suggest that these sugar substitutes could have unexpected long-term effects on metabolism, potentially elevating the risk for conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular […]
