Watch out for this ingredient in “low carb” and “zero sugar” products. You’ll also find sucralose in hundreds of products like yogurts, breads, juices, and drinks. So keep your eyes peeled for it.

This artificial sweetener is made in a laboratory by reacting sugar with chlorine.

✔️In 2016, researchers at an independent laboratory found that Sucralose caused leukemia and related blood cancers in male mice who were exposed to this ingredient throughout their lives.

✔️Other studies have found that Sucralose changes the microbiome and enzymes in your gut - which can have negative effects on your blood sugar and metabolism.

✔️Although they have no calories, artificial sweeteners have been shown to contribute to weight gain by encouraging sugar cravings. So, it might actually help you gain weight - not lose it.

This is why a lot of people never reach their full health potential or weight loss goals, because they are constantly being pushed around by these chemical artificial sweeteners that trick the brain and body.

So true !

An email I received this week: “Hi Food Babe - I am on keto pages and everyone is talking about Premier Protein shakes. They taste delicious they claim and are loved. I immediately thought of you....how healthy or not are they?"

The first thing I tell anyone is to read the ingredient list. Is there an ingredient you haven’t heard of? How can it affect your body? Question why it’s used and if it’s necessary. This is especially important in protein drinks...if you’re drinking it daily or even several times a day.

Questionable ingredients in these “keto-friendly” shakes…

❌ ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose commonly found in protein powders. Although they have no calories, they stimulate your appetite, increase sugar cravings, and promote fat storage and weight gain. Both of these have been linked to cancer in animal studies too.

❌ CARRAGEENAN: A thickener and emulsifier linked to digestive issues and cancer.

❌ CONVENTIONAL (NON-ORGANIC) MILK & WHEY PROTEIN: Comes from cows likely raised on GMO feed. May contain residues of artificial growth hormones, antibiotics, and synthetic pesticides.

❌ ARTIFICIAL & NATURAL FLAVORS: Proprietary mixtures that make food taste irresistible so that you keep coming back for more.

❌ CELLULOSE GEL & CELLULOSE GUM: Thickener that’s usually made from wood, because it’s cheap. Research links it to weight gain, inflammation and digestive problems.

❌ SYNTHETIC VITAMINS: Vitamins are healthy, right? Not if they are made in a lab from a variety of sources like coal tar, petroleum or GMOs. These vitamins differ from their natural counterparts, in that they aren’t believed to be absorbed by your body as well as naturally present vitamins that you get from whole food.

This is all really surprising for something that’s considered a health food, right?

Please tag your friends below and spread the word! Many people don’t know the truth about these shakes.
