I see people constantly on Facebook always talking about how good their sugar free chocolate, maple syrup, BBQ sauce and other products taste as an alternative to the real thing and when I was prepping I was exactly the same.
Now that I'm not competing and can think clearly it got me thinking..
How safe are sugar free products?
These are some of the chemicals in sugar free foods
- 420 Sorbitol
- 421 Mannitol
- 953 Isomalt
- 965 Maltitol or hydrogenated glucose syrup
- 967 Xylitol
- 968 Erythritol
- 1200 Polydextrose
Can you even pronounce these words let alone know the effects it has on your body?? If you can't pronounce the ingredient you shouldn't be eating it I say..
Tests have shown that some of these chemicals lead to
IBS
fatigue
abdominal pain and cramping
bloating
diarrhea
heachaches
All those things just to avoid a few calories from sugar that you will burn off with exercise.. Seems crazy when you really think about it
Its scary how many people have sensitive stomaches and food intolerances and I'm not surprised why
Eat real food not chemicals.... Your body and health will thank you for it
