00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about what you need to know about Aspartame.
00:14Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener that's about 200 times sweeter than sugar,
00:18so you only need a tiny amount to get the sweetness you want.
00:21It's an artificial product made from two natural amino acids,
00:24but one of them is slightly modified to make it even sweeter.
00:27Aspartame has been around since 1965, and while it's widely tested and used in many
00:32foods and drinks, some people still question its safety.
00:351. Common products with Aspartame
00:37You'll find Aspartame in products like diet sodas, sugar-free gum,
00:41flavored water, and light yogurt, usually under brand names like Nutrasweet and Equal.
00:452. Aspartame and weight loss
00:47There's debate over whether Aspartame actually helps with weight loss.
00:50While it's low in calories, some studies suggest it might slow your metabolism,
00:54which could lead to weight gain, especially when combined with carbs or fats.
00:583. Aspartame and diabetes
01:00Aspartame doesn't spike blood sugar,
01:02so it seems like a good option for those with type 2 diabetes.
01:06However, some research suggests it could impact metabolism and blood sugar control,
01:10so it's still uncertain if it's the best choice.
01:124. Possible risks of Aspartame
01:15While generally safe in small amounts, high consumption of Aspartame could lead to addiction
01:18like cravings, skin problems, mood swings, or even potential kidney and liver damage.
01:24There are also concerns about early menstruation in young
01:26girls and a possible link to cancer, although the evidence isn't conclusive.
01:305. Who should avoid Aspartame?
01:32If you have Phenylketonuria PKU or Tardive Dyskinesia,
01:35you should avoid Aspartame as it can worsen symptoms or lead to health issues.
01:396. Aspartame alternatives
01:42If you're concerned about Aspartame, there are plenty of other sweeteners to try,
01:45like monk fruit extract, allulose, sucralose, Splenda, stevia, or sugar alcohols.
01:50Each has its pros and cons, but they all offer a low-calorie alternative to sugar.
01:55You can enjoy Aspartame in moderation as long as you don't have certain health conditions.
01:59It's been studied for years and is generally considered safe,
02:02but if you're unsure, there are plenty of other options out there.
02:05Whether it helps with weight loss or diabetes control is still up for debate.
