First of all, they don’t even quench your thirst and second, the fake sweeteners are addictive and continue to make you crave sweets. Many of these sweeteners are on the market for a long time before they are pulled off the shelves. They have been known to cause heart attacks, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, and strokes, as well as childhood obesity.
