Heart patients and people suffering from obesity often start using artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Fitness-conscious people are also often seen consuming diet drinks and things made with artificial sugar. However, according to a recent study, the consumption of things made from artificial sugar in large quantities can increase the risk of heart patients.
According to this study published in the British Medical Journal, the risk of cardiovascular diseases can increase not only due to artificial sugar included in beverages but also bakery products, dairy products, etc. containing artificial sweeteners. Concern has been expressed in this regard by health-related organizations all over the world. However, according to experts, it is okay to consume small amounts with caution, but consuming artificial sweeteners in large amounts can cause harm. The statement that artificial sugar does not increase weight is also not true. However, this loss is less as compared to refined sugar. But, it is better to consume less of both types of sweetness.
