diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome are link to the overuse of artificial sweeteners. Some of the consumers of these sugars don’t realize how harmful these sweeteners can be and what damage they can cause to the body. Splenda, Equal, and Stevia are some of the most common sugars used in the United States and North America. People should become more aware of the ingredients on the nutrition labels of each of these sugars. This will lower the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and
Experimental Plant Material: The healthy plant of Stevia rebaudiana for micropropagation has been selected from the garden of Integrated Biotechnological Research Institute, Lucknow. The aseptic conditions were maintained following suitable sterilization methods. Sterilization and Disinfection: Since we have known so far about the ways of sterilization,here is a review about sterilization and techniques involved for plant sterilization.Sterilization is the process where all the living microbes
Sweeteners Saccharin is an organic petroleum-based compound that is three to five hundred times sweeter than sucrose. It is non-nutritive because the human body is unable to metabolize the foreign chemical. Saccharin does not contribute calories; for this reason it is commonly used in diet foods.

The Immediate Effects of Ingesting Sour Versus Sweet Candy on the Heart Introduction In this particular study we observed the immediate effect that sweet candy (Skittles) versus sour candy (sour SweetTarts) has on heart rate and blood pressure upon ingestion and the time that was required for these statistics to return to basal measurements. This study does not infer the long term effects that these treatments have on the heart but can be considered a baseline for future exploration of these effects
Anything that is used to replace regular sugar, or sucrose, can be considered an artificial sweetener or sugar. Americans are increasingly using artificial sugar. “Fake sugar” is toxic, not just to the body, but to the metabolism as well.

industry, which were blessed by the F.D.A. again. These products merely contain one chemically-extracted component of the stevia plant. Real stevia leaves cannot be added to commercial foods within the United States, because the F.D.A. labeled stevia as an "unsafe food additive" in 1991. This was done entirely by fiat, for there are no reports of any human ever having been harmed by stevia throughout history. At that time, Arizona congressman Jon Kyl, described the F.D.A.'s response to be "a restraint of
ethanol. In this experiment our group tested two different sugars, sucrose and stevia, The reason for testing Sucrose is due to the fact that it contains glucose and fructose in its molecular structure and in order for fermentation to occur glucose must be present in the production of ethanol and as a food source of yeast (Sugar). Stevia was chosen because of its complex structure and having no resemblance to glucose. Stevia is considered an artificial sweetener and its molecular orientation of atoms

Beat the coconut fat with hand beaters until very thick and fluffy. Add the lime juice, lime zest, and stevia to the whipped coconut fat and beat to combine. Spoon the mousse into serving
The question to be answered in this experiment is, “How does different sugars and sugar substitutes affect the rate of fermentation in yeast?” This question requires background knowledge on yeast, sugars/sugar substitutes, and fermentation. Fermentation is the process that an organism goes through to either create lactic acid or ethanol and CO2. This is done without the use of oxygen, also known as anaerobic respiration. There are multiple steps of both fermentation types. They both begin with the
