Artificial Sugars and Your Health

Just when you think it’s safe to assume the world has moved on from Splenda, Aspartame and other unpronounceable toxic artificial sweeteners available in your local café or supermarket someone comes along from mid- field and blows that theory right out of the water. Given the amount of negative press that has been aired for some time now, you would think that health publications whether online or magazines would be aware of the many dangers of consuming these sachets of chemical missiles.
