Part of the population today is addicted to sugar, which then leads to a great concern when it comes to being obese. In attempt to try to live a healthy life, people today are relying on artificial sweeteners as being the way to go to lose weight. With this notion, the question still today is if artificial sweeteners are healthy. This paper will discuss the biological effects that artificial sweeteners have on a person’s body and to see whether or not consuming them causes more harm than good.
The research article I selected will analyze how sucralose affects the body, specifically, within the blood (plasma). Subjects that participated in this study were both adults between the ages of 18 and 45 with no pre-existing health concerns, and children (pre-pubescent) ages of 6 and twelve, again, with no pre-existing health conditions. There were six researchers involved in this study, Allison C. Sylvetsky( No public information (NPI), Vivian Bauman (NPI), Jenny E. Blau (NPI), H. Martin Garraffo
Alternatives to High Fructose Corn Syrup Abstract High fructose corn syrup has been used as a cheap alternative to classic sugars, like sucrose, since the late 1970s. It is produced from corn, which is government subsidized so that it is cheaper than standard table sugar. Unfortunately for the American public, high fructose corn syrup has many potential health risks. Fortunately, there are prospective alternatives to this poisonous sweetener, even among the most common ones, like Splenda, NutraSweet
The purpose of this investigation is to test the effect of different sugar sources on yeast respiration. Yeasts are unicellular organisms belonging to the fungi kingdom and Eukarya Domain. Yeast are heterotrophs which gain its energy from enzymes that break down carbohydrates into alcohol and CO2. It can also derive energy from simple sugars such as fructose and glucose, which can be found mostly in groups and reproduce asexually (occasionally sexually). Asexual yeast reproduction is accomplished

they could potentially hurt your body. Here is a list of the popular sugar substitutes and the potential harm they produce: Acesulfame potassium also known as "SweetOne" is 200 times sweeter than sugar, this is often paired with aspartame or sucralose. Known to cause breast tumors in rats. Saccharin also known as Sweet’NLow, is the oldest of the artificial sweeteners and is 300 –700 times sweeter than sugar, The National Cancer Institute found evidence of increased bladder cancer in people who
States, having many similarities in characteristics and possibly causing health risks that many studies are trying to verify. Only a handful of artificial sweeteners are approved for use within the United States, including Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Sucralose, Neotame, and Saccharin. Neither of these molecules exists in nature, and therefore must be chemically created,
sweeteners, which are intensely sweet and add no energy value (Neacsu and Madar, 2014). The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has approved five artificial sweeteners safe for human consumption and they are: acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, and sucralose (Ludwig, 2011). These sweeteners are found in thousands of products on the market, from foods and drinks to toothpastes and medicines. The sweeteners are used as sugar substitutes because they are so intensely sweet that concentrations low enough
