Doctor Alexander Myasnikov told Russians which product should be avoided.
The doctor warned that sugar substitutes are more harmful than regular sugar.
On air of the program “About the Most Important Thing” on the channel “ Russia 1 ”, Myasnikov reported that sugar substitutes are accused of developing cancer.
According to the doctor, these components are currently in a kind of “red zone”.
The harm that comes from sugar substitutes is still being studied. But it is already known that they are more harmful than sugar, although they contain fewer calories.
In addition, this product further increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
In 2022, scientists from France analyzed health data from 103 thousand people.
By studying nutritional information, experts found that people who abused sweeteners were more likely to encounter cancer.
Scientists have particularly highlighted aspartame and acesulfame potassium.
