10.artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are nothing better than sugar. They are often even worse than sugar. Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and neotame may be lower in calories, but they can still increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. You may find that many sugar-free chewing gums contain aspartame, one of the most dangerous ingredients in the world. You should choose healthy alternatives to sugar, including honey, wind syrup, and agave syrup.
