Talk to General Physician on Artificial Sweetener
Asking for Self, Female, 25 years old, Fsd
I've been using artificial sweeteners since last 5/6 yrs like canderal/sucral/stevia But my family says that I shouldn't be using these as im TTC. Is there any scientific background of this? Any side affects? And what alternative can be used other than sugar and sweeteners?
yes artificial sweeteners are not good for heart health instead of this use natural sweeteners like honey or gurh but in less quntity

Is there any indication for using artificial sweeteners? Like Diabetes or Obesity or just a lifestyle change? Because different conditions have different management and yes artificial sweeteners are hazardous for health.

Good to hear that there is no yet :). As you go for life style modification please choose healthier options i.e natural sweeteners like honey and fruits. Artificial sweeteners trick our brains in a way that we start consuming artificially sweetened food in excessive quantity in a guilt free manner; also other options like fruits appear less appealing to us once we get used to the taste of sweeteners.
