Battle: Artificial vs Natural sweetners

As the manager of this event, I am going lay down the facts between both fighters and let you be the referee.
The ball is in your court. whoever the winner is, make sure is worthwhile....
These artificial sweeteners listed below are used in abundance in almost every "diet" drink, "lite" yogurts, puddings, and ice creams
  • ·         Splenda (sucralose)
  • ·         Aspartame
  • ·         Saccharine
  • ·         Acesulfame Potassium (aka - acesulfame K)


Artificial sweeteners save you calories, but there's growing evidence that they can increase your appetite for sweets and other carbohydrates causing you to eat more later in the day anyway. Therefore, you don't really save any calories at all. Also, studies have shown that artificial sweeteners can stimulate high insulin levels in your body too, which again can promote fat storage
.
While a natural sweetener known as Stevie is a non-caloric herb. It is a South American herb and when dried into a powder, has sweetness about 200-300 times stronger than sugar. Results proved it to be healthy and nothing has proved it otherwise yet. 


YOUR WINNER IS ................................
