Analysis: The Academy Of Diet And Nutritive Sweeteners

Looking to sweeten things up on your paleo diet? It’s easier than you would think! The options of paleo sweeteners are surprisingly vast considering you are on a sugar free path. The hardest part of cutting refined sugars from your life for good will most likely be making everything from scratch! Chances are if it is pre-packaged, it is heavily processed and chocked full of refined sugars. Once you have cut out processed and refined sugars from your life, you would be amazed to see how many everyday foods you can find natural sweetness in.

Based on my findings in the two given articles, I am choosing to support the safety of sucralose as a nonnutritive sweetener. As mentioned in the article, “ Sweeteners Facts and Fallicies,” there is little research on the effects of sucralose in the human systems. In fact, it wasn’t until I did my own search of sucralose in the database that I realized just how limited recent studies, or studies as a whole for that matter, were in terms of effects on humans. Majority of research, much of which was used in the determination of consumption safety, was performed on lab rats. As a consumer, opting heavily for the nonnutritive sweetener, “Splenda,” I find it extremely unsettling that there isn’t more extensive data on the direct effects that the

One way which is a false belief is through the consumption of sucralose. This consumption of artificial sweeteners and can lead to higher risk of death at a younger age. Artificial sweeteners, though they seem like a safe and healthy choice, present large risks for drug resistance, reduced insulin sensitivity, and destruction of gut bacteria. With this I quote Empty Pleasures by Carolyn de la Peña, “NutraSweet, Splenda, and their predecessors have enjoyed enormous success by promising that Americans, especially women, can "have their cake and eat it too," but Empty Pleasures argues that these "sweet cheats" have fostered troubling and unsustainable eating habits and that the promises of artificial sweeteners are ultimately too good to be true” (Empty Pleasures). The effects of artificial sweeteners like Sucralose, Saccharin, and Stevia, are all artificial sweeteners that are up to 2,000 times sweeter than actual sugar. In conclusion Sucralose is a terrible chemical that we commonly believe to be healthy for the prior reasons with problems with health, other options besides for sucralose, and ways to benefit in our schools, educationally and health related, are necessary to remain a well rounded, balanced

Upon your request, here is a short report of the investigation you assigned to Oliver Orenstein and I pertaining to sweeteners. As you probably already know, The Coca Cola Company and the Pepsi Company market many drinks using sweeteners that are new to the market.

The debate between naturally derived sugars and low-calorie artificial sweeteners has been going on for years now. As our population’s obesity rate grows every year and health concerns related to weight-control grows along with it, natural sugar is scrutinized and we are told to keep away from it as it is our enemy. Over the last couple of decades, we have been introduced to more and more varieties of artificial sweeteners promising to deliver the same sweetness or even more sweetness than natural sugar (some offer as much as 200 times more sweetness than sugar) but with a much lower calorie content, or some even no calories at all. Artificial sweeteners such as Splenda, Sweet n’ Low, NutraSweet, and Equal have become popular as “better alternatives” to table sugar, promising to help battle weight gain and actually assist in losing weight. However, does this make it the healthier option? As with all things, both natural sugar and artificial sugar have their pros and cons, but in order to find the best option in regards to our health and futures, it’s important to weigh them according to scientific findings and research.

According to the FDA there is a new nutrition fact label about the added sugars. It gives the consumer better information on the labels and to be better informed. The FDA can only do so much with the labeling, it is up to the individual to read the labels and make a suitable decision when choosing their foods. I know reading labels is something that we just don’t take the time out to do, but it is very important that we read the labels on all of our foods. However, the added sugars should be reduced in one diet to aid in obesity and other health

I agree with everything you said, just to add a few things on question (B2), but it would be a good idea to educate W.Z about the types of artificial sweeteners (nutritive sweeteners and non-nutritive sweeteners) because some artificial sweeteners like nutritive sweeteners contain calories, thus it may lead to W.Z to gain an extra weight. According to our textbook, “Nutritive sweeteners include fructose (fruit sugar), sorbitol and xylitol provide calories in amounts like those in sucrose -table sugar. In addition, nonnutritive sweeteners have minimal or no calories (Hinkle & Cheever, 2010, p. 1424).” Therefore, W.Z should advise patient to consumer nonnutritive sweeteners.

Food consumption that is high in sugar has been linked with obesity rates, so in order to cut obesity rates we must avoid a heavy load of sugar intake. In order to understand why sugar is “trending” as something to avoid in our diet, here are some reasons why: sugar has been found to be poor for our metabolism and harmful to our health (Flegal). It contains no essential nutrients. Sugar is also high in fructose, which can essentially overload your liver. Sugar can also cause insulin resistance. This is something strongly correlated with obesity rates, which can also be associated with diabetes. So with sugars effects to insulin resistance, it can be a contributor to type II diabetes as well as other chronic diseases. A specific note of this diabetes influence sugar has comes for an analysis done on caloric consumption and diabetes. “When people ate 150 calories more every day, the rate of diabetes went up 0.1%. But if those 150 calories came from a can of fizzy drink, the rate went up 1.1%” (Lambert) showing that added sugar is eleven times more harmful within the same calorie

Children’s health and wellness expert Dr. Alan Greene discusses this likeness of sugar to a drug in-depth in his Healthline.com article Is Sugar an Addictive Drug. “Evidence is mounting that too much added sugar could lead to true addiction. Added sugar is not the sugar naturally found in foods, but the amped up levels added to many processed foods. Medical addiction changes brain chemistry to cause binging, craving, withdrawal symptoms, and sensitization. Excess added sugar can do just that, through changes in the same pathways as addiction to amphetamines or alcohol. Sugar addiction could be an even harder habit to break, according to recent evidence about how added sugar affects our stress hormones.” Though the quantity and variety of food avaliable to us today is for the most part a good thing, it is having and will continue to have dire consequences for the

The main argument to be made here is that the only kind of sugars we should consume are natural sugars. Too much food these days contain high fructose corn syrup and other additives that our bodies can't handle. Some good natural sugars include ripe fruit and raw honey. Our bodies need natural sugar in order to function properly because, "when our cells don't have enough glucose to do their job they find alternative means by which to get their energy, particularly through fat or even our own body tissue. Always remember to be careful, though, as too much of anything is still bad.

Advertisement and commercial industries portray table sugar, and other artificial sweeteners as fuel needed by the body. Though body and body cells need sugar as fuel source. The body mechanism is just like the case of engine, there are bad fuels which can destroy engine. Table sugar is just a bad fuel for the body. Several research studies have arraigned sugar first culprit for the epidemics of complicated health problems such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer. Worst of it, several research now ranking sugar as addictive substance as drugs.

The consumption of foods and beverages containing artificial sweeteners has significantly expanded over the past few decades. The main reasons to use suger substitutes are: to help weight loss, to diminish the risk of dental disorders and to provide palatable food for some patients such as diabetics. Artificial sweeteners include acesulfame-potassium, aspartame, advantame, neotame, saccharin, alitame and cyclamates and sucralose. In addition to stevioside and rebausioside A . Sucralose is an intense artificial sweetener produced by chlorination of sucrose so it is a chlorinated disaccharide, 600 times sweeter than sucrose, and is very stable at high temperatures. It was approved by the FDA, in 1998, to be utilized in foods, beverages,

Increased incidence of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, coupled with heightened consumer awareness, has led to unfaltering movement toward the utilization of low calorie artificial sweeteners which make artificial them progressively prevalent as an alternative to sugar. These artificial sweeteners, also called nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS)/low calorie sweeteners/intense sweeteners, provide more intense sweetness and no or a few calories per gram and are used in beverages, dietary products, drugs, and even mouthwashes. The United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA)authority has approved six NNS (saccharine, aspartame ,sucralose, neotame , acesulfame K, and stevia) for use in humans and has classified them under generally recognized as safe (GRAS) category.(Sharma et al. ,2016).

There are many advantages of sugar in food. Firstly, sugar is the main energy source of the human body because people’s bodies transform sugar in food into energy. Even though people get energy from carbohydrates, proteins, and fat, their main source of energy is from carbohydrates (Sara 2017). Moreover, carbohydrates include simple sugars such as glucose and multiple sugars such as cane sugar or starch. The human body transforms carbohydrate into glucose and the human brain and nerves can only use the energy of the simple sugar glucose. Simple sugars can directly supply the human body energy because they find their way into the blood very fast (David 2011). Furthermore, multiple sugars first have to be split up to simple sugars during digestion and then they can easily get into the blood and provide human muscles energy (Patrick 2003). The body draw 60% of the total energy it needs per day from carbohydrates,
