While natural sugars are often found in unprocessed foods (fruits, grains, etc.) and used by the body as a source of energy, artificial sweeteners work in a completely different way. Dedikova explains that sweeteners can mimic the properties of sugar, but because they do not contain carbohydrates, they cannot be used as an energy source.
Dedikova warns that the uncontrolled use of sweeteners can lead to carbohydrate metabolism disorders, serious weight gain due to increased appetite, and gastrointestinal disorders.
She advised allergy sufferers, pregnant and lactating women, and children not to use sweeteners.
