April 24, 2024 – Common artificial sweeteners may be causing serious damage to your gut, scientists have warned. Not only that, but according to new research these additives could be transforming otherwise healthy gut bacteria into dangerous agents of disease. Artificial sweeteners are everywhere—in everything from diet drinks to baked goods, chewing gum and even toothpaste. Since the 1970s, six of these sugar-free substitutes have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with the first being aspartame in 1974. Neotame is one such “new generation” sweetener. It was approved by the FDA in 2002 and is approximately 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than table sugar. Now, for the first time, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University in the U.K. have found that neotame can directly damage the lining of the intestine and the “good” bacteria that call our guts home.
