Zero calorie sweetener linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds | CNN
A sugar replacement used in many stevia, monk-fruit, keto and other reduced-sugar products marketed for weight loss and diabetes has been linked to stroke, heart attack and early death, a new study found.
I’m replying on my own post because I needed to add something. I’m on a Keto ( high fat /low carb) diet for the last 2 months.. so I was eating these ketowise snacks like candy 😳.
Keto FTW! we are keto also... I try not to do sweetened things, but it helps my sons and husband. We usually use stevia but it doesn’t apply in all recipes.
They’re trying to show that Stevia is responsible for infertility now, too…like they were ever interested in our health 🤣
Hard to know what to believe. I hear that watching TV and gardening cause heart attacks too!! 🤣😂
My new belief is eat as close to real as possible with no additives. Eat like our ancestors ate. Mine did have pure cane syrup made from their sugar cane. They ate fresh farm eggs and beef, pork and fish. They ate vegetables they grew. They fried in lard. Ice cream was churned at home. Both grandmothers lived to be 96. Greatgrandparents died at an old age too.
Exactly 🤣
