According to a new paper by researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, FDA-approved artificial sweeteners and sport supplements were found to be toxic to digestive gut microbes. The study looked at the relative toxicity of six artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, saccharine, neotame, advantame, and acesulfame potassium-k) and 10 sport supplements containing these artificial sweeteners. The bacteria found in the digestive system became toxic when exposed to concentrations of only one mg./ml. of the artificial sweeteners. The researchers modified bioluminescent E. coli bacteria, which luminesce when they detect toxicants and act as a sensing model representative of the complex microbial system,. They stated: "This is further evidence that consumption of artificial sweeteners adversely affects gut microbial activity which can cause a wide range of health issues."
Artificial sweeteners are used in countless food products and soft drinks with reduced sugar content. Many people consume this added ingredient without their knowledge. Moreover, artificial sweeteners have been identified as emerging environmental pollutants, and can be found in drinking and surface water, and groundwater aquifers. According to the researchers - "The results of this study might help in understanding the relative toxicity of artificial sweeteners and the potential of negative effects on the gut microbial community as well as the environment. Furthermore, the tested bioluminescent bacterial panel can potentially be used for detecting artificial sweeteners in the environment.”
Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Sprite Zero and other sports drinks contain aspartame and acesulfame potassium as artificial sweeteners, along with other ingredients for flavoring. Splenda is sucralose.
As you are aware, your gut microbes play a large role in your digestive health, your weight and the strength of your immune system. They thrive on a diet with lots of fiber from vegetables and fruits. This recent study, published in the journal Molecules, can be toxic to these important bacteria.
What are your alternatives for a thirst-quenching drink that will not harm your gut and allow you to avoid sugar? Slice an organic orange, other fruit or cucumber into a glass bottle of water and sip from it during the day. Add mint and other herbs. Drink plain coffee and a variety of teas, Sweeten with small amounts of stevia (this plant derived sweetener may not be safe for the kidneys with excessive use, but is considered safe as ordinarily used.) Yacon syrup, derived from a plant grown in the Andes, is another recently popular sweetener. It has not been extensively studied, but should probably be used sparingly. The syrup can cause abdominal pains, nausea, bloating and diarrhea when taken in doses greater than two teaspoons a day. You can retrain your taste buds to prefer unsweetened foods. If you order or make a fruit smoothie, use a permanent straw – not a disposable plastic one. Try a few raisins and nuts for a treat.
