Sugar or artificial sweetener: Which is more dangerous?

None of these are totally safe for Diabetes patients.

Among artificial sweeteners, Saccharin is perhaps the worst culprit.

Personally, I do not take sugar or any artificial sweeteners as I think it is the best method for any type 2 person like me.

Thanks.

Artificial sweetener is more dangerous .

Thank you so much for your answers

I've stopped eating sugar for six months.Then I started using sweetener, and nowadays I feel like something wrong with my body due to the use of sweetner.

Both are dangerous to human health...,

If we take it in limit then everything is good for health...,

Nowadays diabetes problem has been increasing in world wide so i think that both are dangerous to human health...,

Any food including sugar if we take out in the line with the permission of our body than it may keep us body under a healthy norms .Care should be taken that it has the norms to pressure in a regular doctors examination for diabetes & we know that diabetes is also a warning to our death bell & so such patient must take care .

As to the sugar including artificial sweetener if there is a family history of diabetes one should take utmost care that these symptom may not enter in our body .

This is my personal opinion

I think both are dangerous.

I agree with Esraa in the sense that "both" have their risks.

Sugar: risk of weight gain and diabetes.

Artificial sweeteners: some humans do not tolerate them (e.g., case reports of mental obfuscation in the elderly which purportedly clears with cessation of the artificial sweetener). However, a lot of humans do tolerate them, and they have passed regulatory standards in U.S., and many other countries.

dear doctor

thanks for shearing

With artificial sweeteners, things get a little more muddled, mostly because there are so many different FDA-approved types. Aspartame is the most common ingredient you'll find in sugar-free processed foods, like diet soda. It's also sold in little packets under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet, and is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Dr. Kumar says that unlike other sweeteners, which generally just pass through your body, aspartame is metabolized into compounds found in natural food. It's considered safe in small amounts, except for people with phenylketonuria, a genetic disease.

happy new year

What’s more, according to recent research published in JAMA Internal Medicine, a sugar-filled diet can increase your risk of death by heart disease—even if you aren’t overweight. And eating significant amounts of sugar from any source—be it table sugar, honey, or orange juice, can compromise your immune system’s ability to fight viruses, bacteria, and parasites, according to Debra Nessel, R.D.N., C.D.E., a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes educator with the Torrance Memorial Medical Center in California.

The two .. Both are white poisons .. But I think the artificial sweetener is more dangerous then the normal sugar.

Nature is the mother of health. Healthy eating will always be the best proposal - cereals, vegetables and fruits, in a balanced way. Sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) are the most commonly used for sweetening foods. Comparatively among the three, the "sweetest" is fructose, known as fruit sugar. Therefore, if you can not control the food, the most recommended sugar is fructose. Artificial sweeteners are usually mixtures of a sweet active principle (sweetener) with many additives. In short, a real "pollution bomb" for the body that has not been programmed to degrade these "artificial sweet" molecules. Another aggravating fact of these "commercial artificial sweeteners" is during their use, which can represent a great source of microbial growth due to the conditions of manipulation and use. A natural possibility of non-carbohydrate sweetener is stevia (stevioside), but more difficult to find on the market.

Both are dangerous and more in excess in diabetic patients and at risk for diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

Excess of sugar uncontrolled the glycemia of diabetics and are the cause of many chronic complications, such as urinary and respiratory infections, injuries to the nerves, retinas and kidneys (neuropathy, retinopathy and / or diabetic nephropathy)

Also in diabetics, obese and with metabolic syndrome, the intestinal microbiota is altered and with it the local defenses (surface antibodies such as IgA) decrease; they also alter the already defective metabolism and favor the development of irritable colon and bacterial colon overpopulation.

Sweeteners in obese people with metabolic syndrome, alter the metabolism more to the degree of maintaining obesity and cause a higher degree of metabolic syndrome disorder and diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, they also alter the intestinal microbiota in a similar way to what happens in diabetic patients.

Certainly every industrial product has more health damage than normal. As honey is mentioned in the Koran that it is a cure for many diseases.

Dears Let me wish you all greetings for the new year before I try to answer the puzzle.

Nothing is GOOD THAN BEST WISHES AND NOTHING IS HEALTHIER THAN HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT.

Now coming to artificial sweetener and sugar, please, it is important to know what is beneficial to our body. Our body can tolerate (metabolize) both of these substances, if not then it has the ability to eliminate from body but if consumption is more than tolerating limits then these both have the potential to cause damage, as it is said nothing is toxic but only dose with respect to the body makes it so .

I think that most people already know that white sugar is not good for the body somehow. Specifically raised are obesity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, psychological diseases, deterioration of the intestinal environment (immune abnormality) and so on.

Also, a mysterious phenomenon that blood glucose level will rise will occur even though it should have an artificial sweetener with zero calories. If you take an artificial sweetener that is a strong sweetness, you will get an illusion that you ingest sugar in the brain, trying to raise your blood glucose level.

Honey examined scientifically about the medicinal effect that has been traditionally stated, and it seems that some credibility has been confirmed. In addition, it is said that choline contained in honey has the effect of removing cholesterol which causes hypertension. Therefore, if you do not use it in too much amount, it may be better to use honey.

Artificial sweetener is more dangerous

of course artificial sweetener is more dangerous for healthy, because of production of some compounds in body

Ahmad,

Honey is essentially water and fructose - a carbohydrate. From the perspective of reducing your carobhydrate intake, there is little to recommend it.

<edit: it turns out that honey can, depending on the source, vary in its sugar content from almost purely fructose, to almost all glucose - and anything in between! Thanks wikipedia!>

There is nothing inherently 'dangerous' about an artificial sweetener. There are many such compounds. Some are carbohydrates (sucralose, and all polyols) and some are not.

Those sweeteners that are available (yes, even saccharin) confer risks that, I wager, are comparable to crossing the street to reach the store to purchase a single serving of that foodstuff. Safety is relative.

all with limitation it is good

this is my opinion

I think both are harmful for health if taken in excess quantity. So, one has to be careful.

I think, both.
