#10 Artificial Sweeteners
Thanks to misleading advertising, yet again, many people are under the false impression that artificial sweeteners are better than sugar when in fact, they are even worse! The aspartame, neotame, and other artificial ingredients used to make artificial sweeteners can cause diabetes and they can damage your heart and even lead to metabolic syndrome. Aspartame may very well be one of the deadliest ingredients around and you really should remove it from your diet completely. Healthier alternatives to sugar and artificial sweeteners such as honey are a much, much better option that won’t damage your body.
