Artificial Sweeteners
You must determine which artificial sweeteners agree with you, but the following are allowed: sucralose (marketed as Splenda™), saccharin, cyclamate and acesulfame-K. Natural sweeteners ending in the suffix "-ose," such as maltose, fructose, etc., should be avoided. However, certain sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, do not affect blood sugar and are acceptable.
Saccharin has been extensively studied, and harmful effects were produced in the lab when fed to rats only in extremely high doses. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed saccharin from its list of carcinogens, basing its decision upon a thorough review of the medical literature and the National Institute of Science’s statement that there is "no clear association between saccharin and human cancer." It can be safely consumed in moderation, meaning no more than three packets a day. Saccharin is marketed as Sweet'n Low™.

Grunnen til at cyklamat kanskje ikke nevnes i atkinsboka er at dette er totalforbudt i USA siden det er kreftfremkallende.
Da lurer jeg på hvorfor Atkins nevner cyclamat her som godtatt.og at kreft kun er nevnt i forbindelse med sakkarin og kan brukes i små mengder.
Dette fikk jeg fra Atkins i fjor. Se over,den ville ikke legge seg under:-) |
