Artificial Sweeteners Or Sweeteners Useful Or Harmful?

 Replace sugar with artificial sweeteners which can be 'bitter' for your body

In Pakistan, India, it is common to ask guests for tea or water. If the guest wants to drink tea instead of syrup or lassi, the second question is asked about the amount of sugar in the tea. The answer is to add less, more or no sugar. Guests have also been heard to say, 'I have completely given up sugar for health reasons.' Nowadays, I only use sugar-free sweeteners or sweeteners in my tea or coffee.'

But if you think cutting out sugar and using sugar-free or artificial sweeteners will make you lose weight or feel fit and healthy, know that it won't because the World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that consumption of sugar-free sweets is the cause of 'fatal' diseases.

WHO has made these recommendations based on several research reviews. According to a World Health Organization research review, artificial sweeteners do not help with weight loss or the risk of related diseases.

A research review found that using NSS as a sugar substitute did not help adults or children lose weight in the long term.



"People should consider other options to reduce sugar consumption," says Francisco Branca, director of nutrition and food safety at the WHO. Like fruit or foods and drinks, which have natural sweeteners and no added sugar.'

What is an artificial sweetener?

Artificial sweeteners (NSS) are also used in toothpaste, skin creams and medicines, so should we give them up too?

These are all artificial sweeteners, says Dr. Surendra Kumar, endocrinologist and metabolism department at Sir Gangaram Hospital in India. If they are used for a week or two, it is fine, but long-term use can be harmful to health.



We have tried to find out from Dr. Surendra Kumar that most of the people suffering from diabetes use it. Should diabetics take tablets with artificial sweeteners instead of sugar?Diabetics should not consume artificial sweeteners in any form. If you want to have it for an occasional treat, use it in very moderate amounts.'

Artificial sweeteners are 700 times more potent than sugar. It affects a part of the brain and affects the metabolism.

Learn to live with Water Scarcity

  Learn to live with water scarcity Regions around the world are experiencing drought and water scarcity, even in places that once had abundant rainfall, and this situation will worsen as the planet warms. In 2018, nearly all water taps ran dry in the South African port city of Cape Town. Then it became the second largest city in the world suffering from severe water shortage. This problem still occurs. This year, communities 750 kilometers east of ' Nelson Mandela Bay' will find their reservoirs dry by July. The Cape Town administration has taken strict measures regarding water usage to avoid this 'Day Zero'. The city administration has increased water usage rates and fines and has worked with the agricultural sector to reduce water consumption and maintain soil moisture. Residents of the area will maintain a daily water consumption limit of only 50 liters or 13 gallons. Remember that one load of laundry can use up to 70 liters of water.

A Thirst for Economic Growth

  Although socio-economic factors create water problems, they can be countered with better water management. Between 1961 and 2014, the rate of global freshwater withdrawal (whether from ground or underground reservoirs) increased 2.5 times. According to WRI, water demand for crop irrigation has doubled in the last half century and irrigation accounts for about 67 percent of water used. In 2014, industry requires nearly three times as much water as in 1961 and now accounts for 21 percent of total water use. Although domestic water consumption accounts for 10 percent of total water use, it has increased sixfold since 1961. And very little water is used for animal consumption. But crops grown for animal feed consume 12 percent of the world's irrigation system. That's why experts believe that by reducing the growing demand for animal meat, we can reduce the pressure on water resources. Hofstede says that this is the only way to solve the global water problems. "We use a lot ...
