“The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference.” The intake of sugars is that by taking in carbohydrates as energy. The increase in this is like a drug that can leave the taste buds wanting more to please the natural craving it has created these natural sugars can be used as additives in food processing as well. The higher intake of sugars has been the cause of many chronic diseases leading to the onset of such as diabetes,

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
According to the latest figures available from Data Accountability Center, U.S. Department of Education, 2,415,564 students were identified as having a Specific Learning Disability in the Fall of 2010 (“Full Inclusion”). With the severity of the number of individuals with disabilities in the school system, the controversy of the best way to support them arises. One of the solutions of this controversy is the issue of full inclusion. Those opposed to the idea of full inclusion fear that the approach may impede on the children without disabilities and put a strain on the students with disabilities. The major stakeholders against full inclusion also fear that the process will negatively affect the teachers, as well as, the atmosphere of the classrooms. Many of these parties and individuals are not fully against inclusion all together, but do not support the idea of full inclusion.
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
Prayers in public schools: The debate about prayer in public schools had been in courts since the 40s leading to the case Engel vs vital putting a stop to New York prayer in public schools. Many people honestly think prayer is not allowed in public schools but that is wrong, students have any opportunities to pray, again this is a state of flux, early as 1999 these activities were permitted in fact they are more than allowed they are constitutionally protected as freedom of speech, religion and assembly rights: graduation ceremonies, student religious clubs, moment of silence, prayer outside of school building, school religious speech, rental of school facilities, teaching of evolution & teacher display of religion. The law guarantees students
Non-nutritive sweetener consumption during pregnancy: impact on infant gut microbiome and metabolism in the CHILD cohort
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.

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,
