Foods that contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame (Equal), neotame, Splenda, or saccharine upset the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
They also drastically increase a person’s chance of having a stroke or heart attack: In 2011, research presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference showed people who drank diet soda daily had a 61% increased risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who drank no soda. Consumption of diet soda is also linked to brain cell damage.
Like Aspartame, neotame is linked to severe neurotoxic and immunotoxin damage as it metabolizes into toxic formaldehyde and other toxic substances. They are carcinogenic and deadly to your health.
In pregnant women, artificial sweeteners disrupt fetal development by aborting it or inducing defects. They can seriously damage the DNA, which can affect the health of future generations as well.
If your answer in avoiding sugar-free drinks is to go back to their sugar-filled alternatives, think again: sugary drinks can be just as toxic for your health!
Too much sugar leads to obesity, as well as other major health issues such as high blood pressure, inflammation, and skin and teeth issues.
Why else should you stay away from sugary drinks?
Large amounts of sugar turn to fat in the liver, may cause insulin resistance and chronically elevate your insulin levels, and increase your propensity for cancer and heart disease. What can you try instead?
If you want a good substitute for sweeteners and sugar, try plant-based Stevia, Monk fruit sweetener, or date sugar.
Remember: stay away from Equal, Splenda, saccharin, and neotame.

- Sugar-free foods and drinks
