While intended to reduce calorie intake, recent studies reveal that artificial sugars can significantly disrupt your body’s metabolism and gut health. The long-term effects are a subject of intense debate, with emerging evidence linking them to a paradox of health concerns rather than a simple, harmless swap for sugar.

According to a 2017 study, more than 41% of adults in the United States consumed low-calorie sweeteners between 2009 and 2012, yet controversy continues to surround whether zero calorie drinks are bad for you. While these beverages offer a sweet taste without the caloric load, emerging research suggests potential adverse effects on metabolism, gut health, and long-term weight management.
