Are Artificial Sweeteners Safe?

"Live with Passion." ~ Anthony Robbins

People with diabetes can enjoy  the same healthy meal plans as people without diabetes but it is a fact that people with diabetes have to be careful with their food and beverage choices.  Too many carbohydrates in the diet from sweetened food and beverages are guaranteed to raise the blood sugar and negatively impact blood sugar control.  So what about artificial sweeteners, are they safe alternatives to table sugar?  Are the rumors true that artificial sweeteners are dangerous to your health because they cause brain cancer and actually cause weight gain?    Below is a link to an excellent article from the American Diabetes Association on artificial sweeteners.  Enjoy.  Peace!
