Findings from a new study suggest that two sugar substitutes—acesulfame potassium and sucralose—may disrupt the function of a protein that helps the liver detoxify and metabolize certain medications. This could mean that toxins remain trapped in liver cells and cause liver toxicity.
一项新近研究的结果表明，两种代糖——乙醯磺胺酸钾（又称安赛蜜、AK糖）以及三氯蔗糖(又称蔗糖素)，可能会破坏一种帮助肝脏解毒和代谢某些药物的蛋白质的功能。这意味着毒素可能会被困在肝脏细胞中无法排出，并且导致肝脏中毒。

Nowadays, weight loss is a very hot topic. In order to fix the craving of carbonated sugary drinks while preventing you from getting fat, there is no “real sugar” added to diet soda. That’s why diet coke or zero sugar coke are being sold in the market. However, is diet coke really good for you?
Diet or zero sugar added soda is added with artificial sweeteners which does not contribute to any calories and thus makes it an alternative for carbonated sugary drinks with low calories but with sweetness.
While many of us have turned to diet soda at one time or another in an attempt to keep our cravings for sugary sweets at bay, recent studies suggest that our brains react to artificial sweeteners the same way they react to regular sweets: the more artificial sweeteners we ingest, the more our bodies crave sweetness, which could increase the likelihood of giving into temptation and eating that extra brownie or cookie.
Besides, animal studies have convincingly proven that artificial sweeteners cause weight gain, brain tumors, bladder cancer and many other health hazards. Some health related side effects including carcinogenicity are also noted in humans.
When it comes to weight loss, instead of opting for a quick fix in the form of diet soda, focus instead on habits that can provide long-term benefits such as eating more fruits and vegetables.
