How Your Body Reacts To Artificial Sweeteners and Your Type 2 Diabetes

I am asked all the time by patients what foods to eat and what foods to avoid.  When it comes to artificial sweeteners, if you really want to get control of the “Diabetic Monster” you got to stay away from ALL artificial sweeteners.  I suggest Stevia to all my patients.  Stevia is actually a plant, so it is all natural.  All natural means that your body does not have to work so hard to process the Stevia.  When you look at the chemicals that make up artificial sweeteners, your body has to process all those chemicals and eliminate them.  If you are already fighting Diabetes, you gotta feed your body the easiest things to process and to avoid any undo stress on your system.  Stevia can be found at your local health food store or stores such as Whole Foods, Central Market, or Sprouts.
