I know we've all heard and known about the risks and health effects of artificial sweeteners. I decided to put the information to the test and see what I learned. One of the biggest issues that have been touched upon by the medical and dietary industries is that, the chemicals that make up our favorite sweeteners are anywhere from 200-600x sweeter than real sugar. This tricks our brains and taste buds into thinking that we've consumed this large amount of something sweet, but is leaving the receptors in our stomach and digestion craving even more, because there are no calories to satisfy what the brain has told the stomach should be there.
I am a huge diet soda lover! My number one choice is the one and only Diet Pepsi. I love all products that the Pepsi company makes, so this is in no way a dig or complaint at Pepsi. When I decided to eliminate the artificial sweeteners; it was time to put my go to beverage to the test. I had my diet on hand and then purchased the original and even chose the THROWBACK can. I was shocked to realize that the research was correct. When drinking the drink made with real sugar, it wasn't nearly as sweet as my favorite diet drink. It actually took me a few days to get used to having the sugar instead of the chemical make up of the sweeteners.

So folks let's just keep it real! I challenge all of you to try this test. Even do a blind test. Let's get back to appreciating and enjoying our sweets in all their natural glory and let our bodies purge out all of the unwanted manufactured chemicals.
