Review of American university studies shows that consumption of high doses of saccharin and sodium cyclamate brings the same problems responsible for banishing sugar from menu

RIO - Sweeter and less calories than sugar, artificial sweeteners have emerged as the salvation of the diets. But a review of studies published yesterday in the journal "Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism" shows that these products favor the onset of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (two or more factors that together increase the risk of heart disease and stroke) - same problems mentioned in sugar consumption for years.

"It is common that people think that artificial sweeteners are healthy will help you lose weight or prevent weight gain," writes study author, Susan E. Swithers, Purdue University, in Indiana, in the United States.

In October 2012, the "New England Journal of Medicine" published a major study that linked high consumption of artificially sweetened beverages to obesity: when ingesting high doses of diet sodas, for example, the brain understands the entry in the body but not sweet no calories to be burned, which in the long term causes the body to activate the mechanism of energy conservation and body weight gain.

- The sweetener is not bad in small doses, the bad is to think that you can have Sweetener indiscriminately. The problem is linked to the ingested dose - Isabela Bussade says endocrinologist, professor of graduate PUC-Rio and member of the clinical research group of the State Institute for Diabetes and Endocrinology (Iede).

The doctor also points to another point, the interference of sweeteners (and other industrialized and acidulants and preservatives) in peripheral metabolism, acting as endocrine disruptors and changing the way cells process information hormonal. This change signaling can increase obesity not only the caloric value. It is as if a person were to eat a thousand calories of roast suckling pig, rice and beans and other opted for a meal with the same thousand calories in fast food and the second most fattening because of industrialized chemical that disrupts the normal functioning of the cell, according to endocrinologist.

The nutritionist Fernanda boiler, the multinational slimming Pronokal also argues that the sweetener should be used in small amounts, dieters should try to abolish privilege sodas and sweetened foods naturally.

- Stevia is a good sweetener option but it is essential to read the label of the products because often it is mixed with cyclamate and saccharin to get cheaper - alert.
- As is also common to come sucralose mixed with sorbitol, as cited in studies as favoring diabetes.
