Artificial sweetener is a lab-created concoction, devoid of any nutritional value or real food properties. You're essentially consuming a chemical that tricks your taste buds, but does nothing for your body. This is not a food, it's a synthetic substitute designed to line the pockets of its manufacturers.
Why trash
Synthetic chemicals that trick your brain into thinking you're eating sugar. Your body isn't fooled.
Try instead
Honey, maple syrup, or stevia
