"Sugar substitutes found in many supermarket foods have been shown to kill off antibiotic-resistant bacteria that cause pneumonia and sepsis. Three artificial sweeteners used in products such as diet drinks, yogurts and desserts dramatically halt the growth of multidrug-resistant priority pathogens, but they also reduce the bacteria's resistance to commonly used antibiotics, meaning fewer are needed."
"The researchers found that the sweeteners saccharin, cyclamate and acesulfame-K (called Ace-K) curb the two "priority pathogens" the World Health Organization says most urgently need new antibiotic treatments."
"Used in yogurts, diet drinks and desserts, Ace-K can completely stop the growth of both priority pathogens Acinetobacter baumannii and aeruginosa. The two are super dangerous for people who are critically ill or have compromised immune systems, such as chemotherapy patients."
