Replying to @sabeck511 Healthy yogurt options! 🤩 - I previously did a video on the negative effects of cararageenan on the body. If you have questions, I highly recommend watching that video. Studies are also cited below. - Studies on artificial sweeteners are also cited below. The main study had over 103,000 people that participated and was done over just shy of 8 years. It linked aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose (Splenda) to higher incidences of heart attacks and cerebrovascular events (lack of oxygen to the brain). - Aspartame and acesulfame potassium were linked to higher rates of cancer, especially breast cancer. - This is I severely limit my intake of these sweeteners. However, the choice is always yours and I never judge 😊 - Referenced studies: - 1.
