This study was conducted to know the impact of artificial sweetening accumulated in environment on plants and animals. The study was consisted five experiments as follows; threshold level of artificial sugar sweetness, effect on microorganism, effect on animals, effect on plant and market research. Three things are expected by the result of this study. First, whether organism uses artificial sweetening as a source of energy can be observed. As a result of yeast and bacteria experiment, organism can use artificial sweetening as an energy source, just like sugar. Second, the impact of artificial sweetening inside of organism is found. Throughout mice experiment, it was found many types of sweetening raises the blood sugar level. Therefore, the hypothesis that artificial sweetening is not harmful to human body is wrong. Furthermore, using artificial sweetening as a substitute of sugar for health seems to be a wrong decision. Third, it was checked that artificial sweetening causes negative impacts by accumulation in environment. As a result of plants experiment, when sugar is taken by human, it is decomposed inside and when it is excreted, changed form is accumulated in environment. On the contrary, as artificial sweeteners like Aspartame or Acesulfame K cannot be decomposed inside of human body when people take sweeteners, they are excreted and accumulated in their original structures and hamper the growth of plants.
