Acesulfame potassium - harm to the body

In recent years, the food industry has created many additives to improve the taste and shelf life of food. These are a variety of dyes, preservatives, flavors and, of course, sweeteners. One of them is acesulfame potassium, a substance that is sweeter than sugar 200 times.

It was created in Germany in the late 60's. At its creation all rejoiced, considering, that it is possible to refuse harmful sugar. Particularly hoped people with diabetes. But in fact this sweetener turned out to be very harmful. Strangely enough, when people Began to abandon the sugar in favor of its substitutes, the number of full people increased greatly.

Studies have determined that this substance provokes the development of tumors and adversely affects the cardiovascular system. Although it has a positive property - it does not cause allergies, but, like most food additives, this sugar substitute is one of the most harmful.

Acesulfame potassium is also the most common food additive. It is added to carbonated drinks, juices, confectionery, sour-milk products, chewing gum and even in medicines and toothpaste.

Why is it harmful to eat?

Acesulfame potassium is not completely digested in the body and can accumulate, causing various diseases. This substance is indicated on products as E 950. Complex sweeteners also include this sugar substitute. The name of these food additives is "Aspavit", "Slamix", "Eurosvit" and others. Along with acesulfame, they contain such forbidden additives as cyclamate and yet not banned, but poisonous aspartame, which can not be heated above 30 degrees. When heated, even when ingested, it breaks down into phenylalanine and methanol. Formaldehyde may also form when reacting with certain substances.

Aspartame is the only food supplement whose harm has been proven. In addition to metabolic disorders, it can also cause poisoning. Despite this, it is in large quantities added to many foods and baby food.

Acesulfame potassium, especially in combination with aspartame, increases appetite and leads to dehydration, which quickly causes obesity. They can provoke epilepsy, brain tumor, diabetes, chronic fatigue. Especially harmful is its use for children, weakened patients and pregnant women.

These sweeteners also contain phenylalanine, which is especially harmful to people with white skin and causes them to disrupt hormonal balance. It accumulates in the body for a long time, and then causes serious diseases and infertility.

When you take a large amount of this sugar substitute or frequent use of products with its content, you may experience the following symptoms: weakness, headache, nausea, irritability, joint pain and even loss of memory, vision and hearing.

Substitutes for sugar are not needed by healthy people, they only bring harm. Therefore, it is better to drink tea with sugar than a sweet fizzy drink. If you are afraid to recover, then use honey as a sweetener.
