Artificial Sweeteners: Pros & Cons

Artificial sweeteners, also known as sugar substitutes, are additives that are used to sweeten foods and drinks. These are synthetic alternatives, although certain natural herbs can also be used.

They're often referred to as "intense sweeteners" because they have a taste close to table sugar but are thousands of times sweeter.

While some sweeteners contain calories, the amount required to sweeten products is so small that you consume very few calories. In addition, relative to the amount of sugar you would usually use for sweetness, you only need a fraction of the artificial sweetener.

My Favorite Dog Themed Movies

Movies have the ability to make us go through a whole range of emotions. They make us laugh, put us on the edge of our seats, and even make us sob and cry. Furry stars are an unlikely occurrence in movies. However, no one can deny the paw-some presence and adorableness they bring to the silver screen.

Peculiars Of The Deep

 

It is said that life on Earth started in a deep ocean hydrothermal vent over three billion years ago. Human beings came later, as a result of massive evolutionary changes to these microscopic oceanic beings. However, we have failed to explore underwater life owing to our interests in terrestrial life.

The blue waters of the sea may look enormous and unchanging, but life has always been undergoing rapid changes in its depths. From the obscure alien-like creatures that prowled the ocean millions of years ago to the more familiar whales and octopi, the ocean hosts diverse ecosystems.

A Christmas-Y Movie List

 

I had initially thought I’d make a post on how best to celebrate Christmas amidst this covid trauma drama. But soon realized each of my ideas was ridiculously impractical. So shall refrain from boring you with idealistic but impossible ideas.

Instead, here’s a list of my favorite Christmas (themed or smack-in-the-face) movies, in no particular order. Snuggle in with some hot cocoa, and binge away! If you share the nostalgia, or like the suggestions, do let me know in the comments section below. ðŸ™‚

Cappuccino Vs Latte

 

Coffee is a wonderful beverage that has been around for a long time and has a lot of romanticism attached to it.

However, the next time you plan to consume caffeine – whether to stay awake before an exam, catch up on piled-up jobs, maximize athletic success on the track, or simply get a buzz – do so in the healthiest manner possible.

When looking at a coffee shop menu, most people have no idea what to order and don’t know the difference between a Cappuccino and an Espresso or an Americano. Below is a list of various coffees that will help you better understand the menu and determine what is best for your palate. Coffee can be consumed on its own or with the addition of milk, lemon, or brandy, as in Espresso.
