Artificial sweeteners just make you want to eat more! They have no useful energy in them whatsoever.
Global Healing Center says this on eliminating toxins from artificial sweeteners:
•Check your food labels at home and throw out everything that has on its label: Aspartame, Acesulfame Potassium (K), Saccharin or Sucralose Equal®, NutraSweet® or Splenda®
•Use natural sweeteners like agave nectar, xylitol, stevia or raw honey.
•Avoid products that are labeled "low calorie," "diet," "sugar free," or "no sugar added" since they all likely contain sugar additives.
•Drink purified water instead of diet drinks. Do NOT drink tap water!
Also here are the most common sources of sugar found on food labels:
