Walk into a local shopping mall and you will see a lot of tetra packs with eye-catching labels like light or lite, low calorie, low fat, no fat, fat free, no sugar, sugar free, and zero calorie...all promising great taste and convenience. Unfortunately, behind the glitzy and tempting packaging, there are various side affects to these diet foods. So here are some of the major Diet foods that are available in the market along with their side effects:

• Diet Sugar: It is the single most popular diet food. This product caught everyone like wild fire when people realized that excessive sugar intake leads to obesity.  There are many sugar substitutes available in the market like:
  • Saccharin: It is no longer popular due to the fact that it is linked to urinary  bladder tumors.
  • Aspartame: It is extremely popular, but high doses of it are known to be unhealthy for pregnant women, phenylketonurics, diabetics. It also has adverse effects on the memory.
  • Stevia: It is one of the latest product to hit the market. It is still too fresh and mass consumption effects have not emerged as of yet. It is still under testing condition.
