After aspartamie lose weight? – rmf24.pl

Aspartame is a chemical compound which is a component of many popular sweeteners does not help us to lose weight, on the contrary – convince scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). In a report published on the website of the journal “Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism” describes the mechanism that is probably responsible for this. The results of their research showed that the breakdown products of aspartame block in the digestive system, an action important for our health enzyme.

sugar Substitutes such as aspartame, have been created to help us in the fight against obesity and reduce the risk of the so-called metabolic syndrome, numerous tests have shown, however, that these products are not suitable for this role and can do more harm than good, says co-author Richard Hodin. we have Found that aspartame blocks the action of the enzyme, the so-called intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), which helps to counteract obesity, diabetes, or symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Aspartame, although sugar substitutes may not match the observed lag in this hope, precisely because the IAP blocks he adds.

the MGH Researchers showed in mice that it is important the harmful effects are breakdown products of aspartame, phenylalanine. It it blocks the digestive system development of intestinal alkaline phosphatase. Mouse on a high fat diet, pojonych water with the addition of aspartame observed a greater weight gain than those fed the same, but pojono water without this add-on. In the blood of mice that were given aspartame, regardless of whether normal or diet wysokotłuszczowej, there was an increase in the level of glucose and proteins related to the process of inflammatory processes. This suggests that the sweetener causes them inflammation characteristic of metabolic syndrome.

still, in response to the adverse results of aspartame studies, it was assumed that, although this measure replaces sugar, increases appetite and makes that a total of pochłaniamy more calories. Now it seems that its adverse action refers to more fundamental processes and violates the natural mechanism that should protect us from excess weight gain.

according to its website, the magazine “New Scientist” reports, the breakdown products of aspartame probably break during the removal of harmful toxins produced by the time in the digestive system bacterial flora. These toxins can cause the observed inflammation.

the Weekly also quoted the opinion of the producers of carbonated drinks are widely used by aspartame and other sweeteners for the beverage industry version of the “light”. According to Gavin Partingtona with the British Soft Drinks Association, decades of research and the availability of sweeteners on the market have confirmed that they help in limiting the amount of calories consumed within a healthy diet. – most Recent reviews made on the basis of studies carried out on mice, despite the overwhelming results of previous studies, emphasizes Partington.

Richard. recognizes that not all results of studies in mice have to treat the person and notes that the discovery related to aspartame should not touch other sweeteners that do not block the IAP. Confirms those that are necessary in this matter further investigation.
