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!

Do a search online and you'll find there are now whey protein supplements that are sweetened with stevia. Artificial sweeteners are not good for you.
