With all of the advancements made on this world, how have we not been able to make zero or low calorie amazingly tasting food like chocolate chip cookies!?!
In: 53
We’ve found ways to make them with far fewer calories. Cookies made with sugar substitutes and lower fat exist.
But those substitutes come with their own health concerns in many cases. You have to have *some* chemical stimulating the sweet receptors in your mouth, and using chemicals your body isn’t made for can have odd side-effects – for example, some artificial sweeteners trigger an insulin response like sugar would, and others cause your blood to clot more easily. That’s not to say every artificial sweetener will instantly kill you or whatever – they won’t, and they might still be better than sugar – but they’re not “free” either.
