You should just say no to artificial sweeteners. They are bad for your brain and they can also make you fat. If you drink anything, or eat anything that has artificial sweeteners in it, you should think again. There is new research that shows it hurts our brain as well as our hearts and it does not help us lose any weight at all. The sad thing is that our country has a weight problem and it’s not getting better.

Key Takeaways:

• One root cause of the weight gain problem might be traceable to the fact that US citizens consume about 150 pounds of sugar annually.
• Unfortunately, diet versions of popular sugared sodas are linked to an increase in dementia and stroke.
