"Zero calorie non-sugar sweeteners, including artificial and natural sweeteners like aspartame and stevia, have not been shown to help with weight loss long-term in children or adults, and their use may bring side effects like increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes and death in adults", the WHO said in its findings.

Question:

Why did it take them SO LONG to figure out what the comprehensive lower6app weight management program based upon the G.I/G.L index has been teaching our clients interested in slow but long lasting LIFESTYLE change for years? So what can people do if they like the FLAVOR of a sweetener but do not want the risk of creating the METABOLIC DAMAGE using that sweetener over time? See our chart. It hasn't changed for the past 10 years. 10 years is a lot more time gone by in comparison to just a few days ago.
