Softdrink is often a friend when eating for some people, both children and adults. But be careful, behind the sweetness of soft drinks or soda, contained the danger of artificial sweeteners.
Consuming drinks containing artificial sweeteners risks inviting diseases, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease, and can damage children's dental health.
Saccharin-type sweeteners were once considered dangerous to the health of the bladder and cancer-causing factors. Although finally based on the latest research, saccharin was declared not dangerous, but the use of artificial sweetener saccharin or other types, still should not be excessive. Here are some health problems that can occur due to consuming soda or soft drink containing excessive artificial sweeteners.
Type 2 Diabetes
Research reveals that consuming one can or more of beverages with artificial sweeteners per day can double the risk of developing type 2 diabetes for adults. In addition, the risk of prediabetes also lurks children. Experts note that children who consume lots of sugary sodas tend to overweight when they are adults.
Another effect that has been proven to be caused by artificial sweeteners is to increase appetite, and cause high blood sugar and insulin resistance. These factors are thought to play a role in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes in people who often consume artificial sweeteners.
Heart disease
A number of studies have found a link between regular consumption of soft drinks containing artificial sweeteners, with increased inflammation, the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and even strokes.
A study that looked at the health of 90,000 women over two decades found that women who consumed more than two servings of sugary sodas each day had a 40% higher risk of heart attack or death due to heart disease. This effect is associated with the effects of fructose from sugar or other ingredients used to sweeten the drink.
The effect that can occur related to the consumption of artificial sweeteners is the increase in blood sugar and cholesterol, and inflammation that contribute to the emergence of heart disease.
In this regard, the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association have issued an appeal to limit the use of artificial sweeteners to combat obesity, metabolic syndrome, and all risk factors for heart disease.
Tooth Damage
Softdrink can cause the risk of dental caries due to high sugar content. In addition, soft drinks can also cause tooth erosion due to acid produced. Therefore, do not consume too many drinks that contain artificial sweeteners, and try to rinse your mouth with water every time you finish drinking sweet drinks.
Weight Problems
Avoid children from this type of soft drink so they do not experience obesity. A number of studies link the problem of obesity in children with the consumption of this type of drink. Soda drinks have a large amount of calories, but do not make full, so that triggers children to eat again after they drink soft drinks and the like. This effect does not only occur in children, but also in adults.
As an alternative, provide healthier drinks, such as milk, pure fruit juice with a little added sugar, and infused water with lemon, cucumber, or other fruits.
Not only children, adults also need to limit consumption of soft drinks that contain artificial sweeteners. You are advised not to make drinking soft drinks a daily habit.
