Are Artificial Sweeteners Harmful to Human Health - or Not?

I'm gambling that this blogpost will be appreciated (or not) by most of you. Please share your thoughts about it with me, below.

A contentious debate about the safety of artificial sweeteners is raging on social media. 

Pro and con supporters are citing contradictory medical evidence from professional medical organizations such as BioMed Central, Cancer. gov, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Medical School (I know, I know, Hah-vidd), JAMA, Mayo Clinic, Medical News Today, PubMed, Washington University School of Medicine, etc. Even Prevention Magazine has something controversial to say about artificial sweeteners.

You need to research each debatable sweetener and to weigh the risks of things going wrong with your health as a result of swallowing it.


Rather than repeat the social media argument here (or risk lots of ire by copy/pasting actual comments with identifying details about each commenter), I offer a thought for your consideration:


Not one health organization advises humanity that 
it has a minimum daily requirement of synthetic, 
stripped-down or otherwise questionable "food." 

The best way to be sure 
that you're swallowing actual food 
is to do so. 

Gambling on processed 
"food" products 
is a risk 
you might not want to take. 

As Baretta used to sing when the show opened, 
"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

Ooh! One more thing: I keep wondering when and why to update you about a nifty thing to do for women's menstrual and fertility issues and irregularities. Make Shepherd's Purse tea! A local folk remedy (called khubezia in Hebrew), it has a good reputation for regulating menses and improving female fertility. I don't know why it does all that, but I suggest you give it a try. I happen to snack on this yummy high-protein food that grows as a wild weed all over the country of Israel. The nuggets of nutrition grow in pods sprinkled all over the ankle-to-chest-high plant.

To your good health,
