A recent study found a number of food additives in tap water that contaminate it.
It turned out that even the most modern methods and high technologies for water purification remain a large amount of pollutants.
Dietary supplements that mimic the taste of sugar are considered dietary, but have countless side effects for the human body.
Researchers from the Water Technical Center of the German city of Karlsruhe found that 7 of the most common sweeteners in the food industry - acesulfame, saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate, which is currently banned in the US and Canada, sucralose, neotam and NHDC are common additives in tap water.
An analysis of water samples revealed that between 59% and 80% of the sucralose remained in the water after being treated by a modern German treatment plant.
Acesulfame is also a stubborn and difficult to purify chemical. During the purification, the station managed to remove only 15-20% of the chemical.
Saccharin and cyclamate follow them, leaving 10-20% each.
These results are not only observed in drinking water from water sources, but also in water in soil samples.
According to experts, these compounds and especially acesulfame and saccharin can cause insulin imbalance in the body and lead to the development of diabetes.
The leaders of the two teams that conducted the study, Dr. Marco Schrauer and Dr. Jürgen Brauch, found that by the time drinking water reached water sources, it was saturated with secondary sweeteners.
This mainly affects students who regularly drink tap water in schools. They have a high risk of developing diabetes, pancreatic cancer and other diseases associated with artificial sweeteners.
Aspartame and neotam are associated with many neurological diseases of both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Sucralose is thought to cause some migraine headaches, but so far there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
Teams of scientists are examining cyclamen to determine whether the compound greatly reduces male fertility.

Sweeteners
Sweeteners are substances used as a dietary supplement as a sugar substitute. Designed as one of the "white poisons", over time the industry has come up with an alternative to the sugar beet and cane product. The most current sweeteners are sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, lactose, glycerin, saccharin, cyclamate, aspartame, acesulfame, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, isomaltitol, lactitol, hydrogenated glucose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup and others.
Natural Sweeteners For Tea
Although most tea lovers and professionals and tea traditions are against this magical drink being sweetened, as much of its taste and aroma is lost, many people prefer to sit down for a cup of sweetened tea. It has long been known that sugar is harmful and many resort to artificial sweeteners such as saccharin.
Professor Baykova: All Artificial Sweeteners Are Dangerous To Health
The health expert professor Donka Baikova was adamant that harmless sweeteners do not exist. In an interview with Bulgaria ON AIR, she said that the consumption of all artificial sweeteners in food and beverages is harmful to health, although some of them are approved for use and others are not.
Drink Tap Water Instead Of Mineral Water
According to recent studies tap water is the better choice for drinking - it is preferable to mineralized. Pediatricians even recommend it for young children. In their opinion, a bottle of tap water from home is the better solution for students, instead of giving them money for water with a high mineral content.
How To Drink Water And Why Hot Water Is A Panacea?
A glass of water - not only a means of quenching thirst, but also a useful product for the health of the body. Everyone knows that you need to drink a lot of fluids, but very few people know how to drink water properly. It turns out that the temperature of water determines its properties, which are known even to the ancient Tibetan monks.
