Abstract
Non-nutritive sweeteners are helpful substitutes for caloric sweeteners in sweet foods and beverages. The reduction in energy and carbohydrate intake may result in weight management, glycemic control, and other health benefits. The potential negative effects of non-nutritive sweeteners, on the other hand, are highly undesirable. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of consuming artificial NNS (Aspartame) natural NNS (Stevia). Aspartame is a common artificial sweetener used all over the world. Although its ingestion is deemed safe within FDA-approved daily intake guidelines, there are numerous questions about its safety today. Obesity, metabolic syndrome, kidney carcinoma, and other harmful health outcomes have been linked to aspartame intake in recent experimental and epidemiological research.A search of numerous literature databases for articles about aspartame's negative effects as that long-term aspartame use increases the generation of free radicals in liver tissues in a dose-dependent manner. In return, stevia improves the body's metabolism and reduces caloric intake with no adverse effects. In this study, investigation of some oxidation parameters in the albino rat by measuring (GSH),(MDA)and(SOD). Stevia-treated animals designated a significant increase in their mean values compared to aspartame ones. Stevia treated animals designated a significant increase in their mean values recording compared to control ones.
