    Introduction: Food sweeteners are very familiar to people, so what is the harm of food sweeteners to human body? Let's get to know each other in the article Sweeteners are actually substitutes for sugar They are edible substances that can produce sweetness besides sucrose or syrup Some synthetic chemicals are hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose, and can provide the sweetness people need with a small amount These substances are also often called "sweeteners." How about the harm of sweetener in food? I'll introduce it to you in the following Sweetener mainly refers to some chemicals with sweet taste but not sugar Sweetness is generally 10 to hundreds times higher than sucrose It has no nutritional value Sweeteners not only make the body fat, but also cause cancer In 1977, the U.S Food and Drug Administration tried to ban the sweetener because animal tests showed it could cause bladder cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer and other organ diseases But the food union intervened, persuading Congress to continue to allow saccharin to be used, only to put a warning label on the market that said: using this product may harm your health This product contains saccharin, which has been proved to be carcinogenic by animal test The results of animal research give us some enlightenment Researchers at Purdue University found that animals fed saccharin yoghurt consumed more calories, gained more weight and body fat than those fed a diet supplemented with glucose, a natural sugar with the same number of calories, such as sugar Just as we can make psychological and emotional connections to certain tastes, our bodies can make energy connections to sweeteners, the researchers concluded We must pay attention to our health Now our country's life is getting better and better With the food safety detector, we can detect whether the food we eat is healthy, so that we can safely eat it When we encounter food safety knowledge like food sweetener safety, you can pay attention to our safety net Our editor will give you a patient explanation Editor in charge: he xianrob
