A member asked:
Could you tell me what are known side effects of using alternatives to sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably Limited: Terminology is confusing and research is largely inconclusive. Despite concerns in the 1970s regarding artificial sweetener and bladder cancer, there is no scientific evidence that artificial sweeteners are associated with cancer or other serious health problems. Sugar alcohol sweeteners can cause flatulence. There are concerns - inconsistent - regarding metabolic endocrine changes.
