Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose , saccharin and even stevia that are found in diet sodas, create many problems such as:
A)Destroying our gut since artificial sweeteners pass through the human GI tract without being digested so they come in direct contact with

microbes in the colon resulting in making previously healthy gut bacteria to become diseased and invade the gut wall (anyone who has any gut/intestinal issues should stop consuming artificial sweeteners immediately).

2) Artificial sweeteners since they have been shown to increase the size of cancerous tumors.
3)Artificial sweeteners in some cases can trigger irritable bowel syndrome and crohn’s disease in susceptible patients.

4) Studies have shown that increased consumption of artificial sweeteners leads to lipid (fat) accumulation in the liver, fibrosis and degeneration of the liver.
The fact that you're craving diet coke, shows that your gut flora is wrecked to begin with.

Can you believe that these people pay good money in order for others to write this actually dangerous garbage?
