Types of Artificial Sweeteners - Are they Beneficial or Harmful?

Artificial Sweeteners have been promoted as a healthy option to use instead of sugar especially for calorie conscious and diabetic people. But have you ever wonder what ingredients or chemicals are used to manufacture these artificial sweeteners and whether are they really beneficial for health? First the good news as any product that is meant for consumption has to go through government established checks and regulations even artificial sweeteners have to do so. But that necessary doesn’t make them good for health as many other products such as soft drinks or junk food also get certificated and acceptable for consumption.
