   Can you tell me the dangers of Acesulfame potassium, which is a zero calorie sweetner that is an ingredient in my whey protein? Is there a healther whey protein you can get (besides unflavored whey)?

   Artificial sweeteners are not good for you. I know people don’t like that statement, but that is my conclusion based on looking at aspartame (Nutrasweet/Equal), acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), sucralose (Splenda), and others.

   The only zero-calorie nutrients you should be consuming are air and water. Otherwise, chemically-designed artificial food … See Moreadditives are meant to “trick” the body. When you fool the body with chemicals, you change the natural processes of your body’s physiology. That means you’ll get unintended side-effects.

   Having said that, though, there is hope! Stevia is a safe NATURAL sweetener (it is a shrub native to Paraguay). Best of all? ZERO CALORIES. Do a search online and you’ll find there are now whey protein supplements that are sweetened with stevia.
