When eating some foods, many people worry about getting high calories and gaining weights. Thus it seems that food containing artificial sweeteners instead of sugar solve this problem. For example, aspartame, one of the artificial sweeteners, has 4kcal/g as well as sugar has but it is 200 times sweeter than sugar. So when manufacturing drinks and candies with aspartame we need just amount of 1/200 of sugar. As a result, we can enjoy coke and candy without worry about calories.However, many doctors and researchers argue that artificial sweetener may increase a person’s risk of headache, dizziness, stroke, convulsions, encephaloma. And some research shows that continual eating aspartame may cause getting fat because digestive system confuse sweet flavor with low calories and body need more food. On the other hand, some researchers say that eating artificial sweetener dose not effect human body at all. Despite WHO’s announcement of safety of aspartame in 2006, aspartame is still controversial
It depends on you whether or not eating artificial sweetener. However, we should know the ingredients of the foods before you pick up foods.

Enjoying food, people worry about getting high calories and gaining weights. For them, artificial sweeteners, alternative types of sugar, seems to lesson their concern. Among them, aspartame, one of the artificial sweeteners, has 4 kilo calories per gram (as much amount as sugar has); but, it is 200 times sweeter than sugar. When manufacturing drinks and candies with aspartame, it needs only 1/200 sugar. As a result, we have enjoyed coke and candies without worrying about calories.However, many doctors and researchers argue that artificial sweeteners may increase the risk of headache, dizziness, stroke, convulsions, and encephaloma to some consumers. Moreover, some researchers show that continual consumption of aspartame may cause getting fat, because digestive system confuses the sweet flavor with low calorie ingredient and commands our body to requires more food. Despite the WHO announcement for safety of aspartame in 2006, its side-effect is still controversial. Some researchers say that eating artificial sweetener dose not effect human body at all.
It depends on you whether to take artificial sweetener or not. However, we should know about its ingredient before picking up a food.
