Edulcorantes y azúcares - Side Effects

Efectos secundarios:

El azúcar suministra calorías y no otros nutrientes. El azúcar o los edulcorantes calóricos pueden llevar a que se presente caries dental.

Las grandes cantidades de alimentos que contengan azúcar, junto con otros carbohidratos y grasas, pueden causar obesidad en niños y adultos. Las personas obesas tienen mucho mayor riesgo de sufrir diabetes tipo 2, síndrome metabólico e hipertensión arterial.

Los alcoholes de azúcares, como sorbitol, manitol y xilitol, pueden tener un efecto laxante cuando se consumen en grandes cantidades.
