Artificial sweeteners are everywhere, even in foods you may not consider sweet. Here are five expert tips on how to cut or reduce fake sugars from your diet.
Reaching for a diet soda or artificially sweetened snack to lose weight or to enjoy a few more treats? A growing number of scientists believe that’s not a good idea. After studies found no long-term benefit, the World Health Organization announced in May 2023 that people should not rely on any sugar substitute — including stevia and monk fruit — to control their weight.
Research shows that taste buds will respond by finding sugary foods that used to be delicious now cloyingly sweet, or in the case of sodium, much too salty, Katz said. “It’s been shown in clinical trials that people actually develop aversions to what they used to crave and cravings for foods they used to avoid, essentially because of taste bud rehab,” he said. Learn to read labels To find those hidden sweeteners, however, you’ll need to become a label detective, experts say.
