Satisfi Tea is the only green or black tea drink that's high in
fiber and no sugar added. Despite some occasional unfounded claims by
some individuals and professionals that artificial sweeteners may not be
good for health for one reason or another, facts are that all sugar
substitutes available on the market are safe for human consumption
according to all health organizations including the American Diabetes
Association, the American Dietetic association, the Mayo Clinic and all
others. Satisfi Tea is sweetened with natural fruit flavors and a tiny
amount of Sucralose in order to keep calories and sugar down.
Facts are that artificial sweeteners can be part of a healthy lifestyle when consumed in balanced daily amounts to replace sugar in calorie laden hot or cold beverages, baked goods, puddings, salad dressings or sprinkled over desserts and fruits. Facts are that replacing the excess calories from sugar with Sucralose, Stevia or any other brand can contribute to helping people manage their weight and cut down on unwanted calories.
Facts are that recent clinical trials have found that "sugar is toxic" and the excess of it is a major contributor to obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart diseases. I've covered this topic thoroughly which includes credible references in my article titled "How Toxic Is Sugar?"
It is also a fact that to date, there has not been a single well established "prospective peer reviewed study" that's been published in any reputable professional medical journal in the US or around the world linking artificial sweeteners with any health risks.
It is a myth that artificial sweeteners are harmful, may cause cancer or other diseases. It is also a myth that you can lose weight or have great health by just consuming artificial sweeteners while maintaining a physically inactive lifestyle, consuming excess calories from refined sugary, fatty and salty snacks and beverages and continuing to smoke (if you're a smoker).
If a doctor conducts a study in his clinic for a year which includes 20 people who consume artificial sweeteners and if during that period two persons happen to develop cancer, the conclusion is not that sugar substitutes cause cancer. This is definitely not a well-established peer reviewed clinical trial and its results are flawed and not conclusive.
Moreover, there's a myth about "natural sweeteners" such as Stevia Verses "artificial sweeteners" such as Sucralose. Below is a statement from the Mayo Clinic clarifying this mind boggling issue?
"Natural claims Stevia VS Sucralose:
The topic of sugar substitutes can be confusing. One problem is that the terminology is often open to interpretation. For instance, some manufacturers call their sweeteners "natural" even though they're processed or refined, as is the case with stevia preparations. And some artificial sweeteners are derived from naturally occurring substances - sucralose comes from sugar, for example."

Artificial sweeteners have been around for decades and are in tens of thousands of products in the US and worldwide and if there were any health risks to people then they could have been easily discernible. Satisfi Tea was created based on these and other solid and reliable clinically established facts.
The only two instances where you must not consume artificial sweeteners is if you have known allergies to any of them. You must not consume Aspartame if you can't consume Phenylketoneurea which is a rare condition developed at birth.
Finally, there was a study showing that artificial sweeteners maybe counter- productive to obese people because it can stimulate their appetite, gets them to eat more and didn't contribute to weight loss efforts. Well, people interpreted the results of this study inaccurately and during my pharmacy consultations I would hear some of my patients say that they don't want to use sugar substitutes because they heard in the news that artificial sweeteners cause obesity.
First of all, that study was conducted on rabbits and not on humans where those rabbits were forced to consume 10 times the dose with respect to their weight for an extended period of time. The rabbits in this study had a higher appetite, consumed more food and gained more weight. Technically speaking the results of such a study conducted on animals can't extrapolate to humans and the amounts of artificial sweeteners used were gargantuan and not within normal ranges.
The moral of this article and the actual take home message is to consume everything in moderation including artificial sweeteners and when consumed in regular daily amounts, sweeteners can help us reduce the intake amount of sugar and non-nutritious calories and can be part of a healthy lifestyle. You must also seek to make favorable lifestyle choices, increase physical activity and make balanced healthy food, snack and beverage choices in order to manage your body weight and avoid or manage lifestyle related chronic disease such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. More on these topics in other articles.
