Paleo critics point out that not all grains are created equal-whole grains do not spike your blood sugar as much as refined grains.

The U. Food and Drug Administration FDA condones artificial sweeteners as safe to consume, but they are not allowed on paleo since they are a man-made, processed food. Plus, although artificial sweeteners lower calories in food, research shows they can still cause us to crave sweets and that they can be harmful to our gut bacteria.
