Aspartame is broken down immediately in the gastric juices into 2 amino acids and negligible ammounts of methanol, so it cannot interact with your gut. The studies linking obesity to artificial sweeteners just saw that statistically, fat people tend to use more artificial sweeteners, correlation doesn't mean causation and it could be an inverse causation, it could very well that fat people choose diet drinks to maintain or lose weight.

Im very exited to see that a popular science outlet has finally started talking about the sweeting of the pallet. I have see plenty of studies but nothing as main stream as this.

heres a question, i eat sweets when i drink energy drinks with no sugar/artificial sweeteners because i use the no sugar drinks as a way to allow space for lollies/chocolate into my low calorie diet. if im eating them at the same time, would that stop my body reacting badly because it still has sugar to process?

I think there is even a research that the anticipation of consuming something sweet can trigger an insulin response, like salivating on the idea of eating something sour. Not sure how true is the idea/placebo sugar causing an insulin response but hopefully you guys can confirm this.

Rather consume real food than artificial crap and I don't care about people claiming artificial is harmless

can someone please send me the link of the background image that they are using in this vid

I used to drink diet coke because regular coke turned out to be too sweet and not sharp enough for my tastes. I was already relatively resistant to sweet things even as a child (thus never experiencing a sugar high, ever), so I mainly enjoyed other flavors instead not based on sweetness, because there was always that certain point where I could no longer taste sweet stuff in foods. The artificial sweetener did a bit of damage at first, enlarging the capillaries in my face was my first clue, to the point where I looked like a severe sunburn victim (and felt like one, too). I never experienced this with _any_ other food or drink before I got into diet coke, so it was kind of obvious what caused it. The condition is called Rosacea, and things like broken blood vessels and pimples may also occur when it gets severe. I stopped when I realized diet coke was doing it to me, and I can't really enjoy most coke drinks anymore without the Rosacea flaring up violently. Now I just drink (regular) Ginger beer and coffee. Artificial sweeteners may be seen as a good idea, but I can assure you, its not the best idea.

Try Zevia

I had a weird reaction to artificial sweetener. I got what was... basically acne, except they wouldn't pop and they were deeper down then a normal pimple. So I would just get these red swollen bumps. I know they were like pimples though because.... well..... I can get a little obsessive and found out the hard way what was in them.....

Is it just me or do artificial sweeteners taste unpleasant? There is a kind of mild sweet after taste but that is overwhelmed by the bitterness. I'm pretty sure I just taste bitterness more strongly than most.

NOTE: While this list can hardly be exhaustive (of course), I think you should have mentioned Rebinia. It's steviol glycoside, or rebaudioside A; it's 200x sweeter than sugar (which is a common sweetness level); and it comes in granulated form, which can be used as a normal sweetener for drinks, etc. It can also be substituted 1:1 in baking, and is non-caloric as well. [Hey, since they're *_all_* bad for you (as it turns out per this video), we may as well include a nice popular one that's handy.] I use it to sweeten tea and Kool-Aid. Coca-Cola actually owns the exclusive rights to use it in beverages, but it's sold in re-sealable pouches (like shredded cheese) as Stevia. It's also sold as Truvia and as PureVia. Honestly, it's the only one I like; can't stand the others! 𝖙𝖆𝖛𝖎.

i can't believe people still think sugar is bad for you

These are all theories, as the host also says (or is there a scientific review proving that sweeteners cause raise insuline?). To me, the most plausible is the last: people are idiots and think that if they drink a coke zero then they can eat an extra slice of pizza.

I have no doubt that artificial sweeteners may not be good for you but you need to post sources that actually go to peer-reviewed literature because I can hold a conference and say "hey out of my 20 friends I know that eat artificial sweeteners all are obese so there has to be a major connection." A link to peer-reviewed literature would be a nice change-of-pace.

Why? Nothing in this video proves sugar is better or worse than any of these artificial sweeteners. They're all bad, it's just a matter of: "if I'm going to consume one, which should it be?" And this video doesn't answer that. She pretty much said "may lead to insulin resistance" or other health effects- but so does sugar. We know for sure sugar is bad for you because things like fructose can only be processed in the liver. The liver is the organ that starts the process of de novo lipogenesis (conversion to fat) and since all fructose goes through the liver it means more of it is converted to triglycerides. Studies have found triglyceride levels are positively linked to fructose, (search google for various studies). Fat supposedly contributes to insulin resistance as well, as it blocks insulin receptors in cells. This video also doesn't differentiate between the many types of sweeteners, all artificial sweeteners are not alike. Erythritol seems to be the best at the moment, as 90% of it gets passed through urine as opposed to the large intestine (which is the problem for many other sweeteners), meaning that it has much less effect on the microbiome. It's also from a natural source and can be found in some fruits so you know it's not completely foreign to the body. More testing should be done of course. -Eat enough of anything and of course it will alter the bacteria types in your gut so don't go crazy. That said, most Americans are terribly unhealthy with their current diets. Pretty much any diet change would be an improvement for a lot of people.

wow,....nonsense! If artificial sweeteners are causing the body to produce insulin like sugar that would mean that a high enough dose of an artificial sweetener would cause Hypoglycemia. The amount of artificial sweeteners I consume on a daily basis would have put me in grave a 1000 times.

After almost 4 minutes, still no news on what artificial sweeteners actually DO to your body. Waste of time!!

You got a new subscriber Maren - Good work on Seeker

While yes, artificial sweeteners are sweeter than regular sugar, they don't put equal amounts of it in food or drinks. Even for recipes where you substitute sugar you need to convert the measurements to accommodate the specific sweetener. So the food you eat isn't necessarily sweeter than those made with real sugar. I've cut out sugar from my life and can now tell when something has real sugar because it is sooooo much sweeter than what I normally eat. So I would be carful about assuming that because the artificial sugar is sweeter than then means the food it's used in is sweeter than those with real sugar.

If a person already has diabetes what effects do these non calorie sweeteners have on their biology? Is it a measurable difference in how much more insulin they have to take or has that been looked into do you know? Great video keep it up!

I watched you fist time and you are very lovely an energitic person. I really enjoy while I was wahching you.

Although all this research may be true, as of today there are no known clinically significant side-effects of sweeteners. They are safer than high fructose corn syrup which is the single, common cause of obesity in USA ,

I would encourage people not to think of it as a dichotomy and say that they are bad or good. My sister is one of those people that gets a big ass burger and fries "and a diet coke" so in that sense it may just as well be as bad as sugar if not worse. I myself was able to reverse my type 2 diabetes by switching to a more active lifestyle and instead of drinking just water (which gets boring fast) I drank artificially sweetened multivitamin drinks (to ensure proper nutrition due to my drastic decrease in calorie intake) 3 TIMES a day, so saying it contributes to diabetes/health was not true in my case. It also it very situational, if you're a diabetic and you're out a party or restaurant, a diet drink would be more sensible since you wouldnt have to worry about your blood sugar as much as if you drank a regular soda/drink with sugar in it. It really all depends on the person and general food choices.

Can someone please link me to the studies?

I noticed Stevia leaf extract was not in the list of FDA approved sweetners. Does the same hold for that?

You'd be better served if a wider array of sci journal citations were made in this video, particularly when it comes to the research surrounding insulin release and signaling. That's what a big chunk of your argument revolves around. It's really interesting stuff.

So which one is worse sugar or artificial sweetener? Seems to be an important question to have answered in the video or at least address that they don't know which is worse for your health

I'm glad you didn't sugar coat this episode!

Does anybody know the name of the background song?

I am IDD and use sweetner sometime in coffee and it does not make me feel hungry, also I eat fresh fruit every day and enjoy it. The only thing that I will say is o not have too much and try not to mix sweetners as it can have a laxative effect.

How about use of artificial sweeteners in type one diabetics? In which they control their insulin, and wouldn’t really develop insulin resistance as a result of using sweeteners?

Bean and nut fiber can blunt insulin blood spikes for up to 12hrs. From dinner to breakfast the next day. Healthy plant fiber is the way to go, so you can have a sugar substitute or a moderate meat meal and still be happy and healthy.

Like Paul Dirac that unified the very small with the big things, with a Visualization math perspective, women that have the talent to inspire the good will spirit are doing a great job imaging so as normal people get more inspired to use their brains a little bit more or start studying things that have to to with the senses and intelect.

Basically, if you are not diabetic, don't touch Diet Drinks... even if you are, nope... Diet drinks are worse for you than the actual product itself.

Why only give speculations when there are plenty of studies out there testing these hypotheses?

Type 1 diabetic. I drink artificial sweeteners several times a day and tried to see if sugar level increased or decreased. But none of the several diet artificial sweetener drinks I've tried have had a effect.

What about the highly processed STEVIA not in its natural form to make it sweeter by removing the bitter part by changing its natural composition?

So, which one is the one they make from Stevia plants?

I suspect much of the "sugar high" to be triggered by the taste receptors and not the metabolism so maybe artificial sweeteners are not that bad if all you crave is a mood booster, which sugar is.

Oh that's interesting! If I understand well, it seems then that Belgian's Ti'Light made by 99.5% saccharose + 0.5% sucralose (as in Canderel), used as a replacement for regular sugar is best, because thanks to the powerful taste of sucralose, you use much less of it than normal sugar. So, no big cheating of your digestion system and still less calories.

Artificial sweeteners are not sweet. They are disgusting and taste awful. They also leave a god awful aftertaste.

So as of now, companies like to put an label on products saying 'No artificial sweetners' but have lo han fruit (monk fruit) in their ingredients. So what is monk fruit? Stevia, monk fruit, aspartame etc are all artificial sweeteners or fake sugars to me

What about steviol glycosides?

Used sweetness everyday and different types and a lot in my cereals and tea and coffee - no health issues here and in middle of healthy bmi range ?

So artificial sweeteners could be the cause of Digestive Disease in some people.

Thinks said for many other foods that claim to be _"fat free"_ or low in calories. People think the fat free labelled products are healthier, but they're not at all. If you look down your dairy isle while at the supermarket, you will see a lot of these fat free labelled products, milk, cheese, yoghurt, yoghurts is notorious for being labelled fat free. If you consume these things you're not getting the full nutritional benefits from calcium, zinc and other nutrients found in full fat milk or other dairy products that uses full cream fat content, thus making your bones weaker and more brittle and harder to repair itself if you break some bones. Fat free labelled products are bad for you, because they're packed with substitutes with no nutrition for the body to consume. I always try avoid these so-called _"fat free"_ labelled products. If you look at the contents of skimmed and semi-skimmed milk, just compare what you actually get from consuming them vs full fat cream milk. You will find a list of substitutes and preservatives in skimmed and semi-skimmed milk. I know Americans love to drench their foods on high glucose corn syrup. Or at least the manufacturing process they add a shit ton of that to foods just to make them taste sweeter.

Any chance of an episode on Stevia?

I think the claims here are questionable at best. 0:37 - I think we can rule out the hypothesis of sweet taste leading to an insulin release. Insulin release is primarily triggered by elevated blood sugar levels rather than the taste of sweetness itself.The taste of sweetness sends a signal to the brain to anticipate the incoming nutrients. However, the release of insulin is related to the actual increase in blood sugar levels, not just the perception of sweetness. P.S. to be clear I hate sugary drinks of any kind - I'm just making a case for using artifical sweeteners for granola or other supposedly "healthy" marketed products. I'm probably not looking at the full picture however - feel free to correct/ add to this.

I wonder if the same argument is valid for natural sugar substitute like Stevia which is source from plant or alcohol sugar which are also natural. They do not really trigger insulin.

After one week of giving them up. I have noticed that my fasting blood sugar is about 8 points lower.

The simplest solution is moderation. But with the consumer mentality in the US it's very difficult to exercise moderate consumption of unhealthy foods.

Your citations don't say what you implied. First of all, they are not links to studies, they are links articles about studies, which are notoriously riddled with errors. But since I'm not looking up the original study, I'll assume they are correct. Now one of the three you linked to was a study done in rats, which is notoriously unreliable. It said: "Before you scramble to dump out all those artificial sweeteners, researchers note this study doesn’t clearly say whether they are better or worse than sugar." The others were research more into mechanisms than effects. One did include a study of actual effects on a human population... of 18 subjects. That one showed no impact on the 4 normal weight individuals, but the 14 overweight individuals had signs of producing the effects they discussed. There was no control group. This is basic science. It is designed to lead toward ideas for bigger and more reliable studies down the line. It should not be presented as findings applicable to real people right now. When big and broad studies have been done in the past, they have shown very few ill effects from artificial swerteners and the few effects well documented in the literature are dwarfed by the ill effects of eating too much sugar. Seeker has gotten worse and worse over the last couple of years. If this keeps up, I'll unsubscribe. Go to Sci Show, it is 1000 times better and they actually know how to read a study.

I have a question. What happens if you consume artificial sweeteners along a heavy carb diet? For example, I eat a big mac(high on fat/carb/pretty much everything) along with diet coke. My body will still get its sugar from the burger (so no excess insulin in my body) and I don't need to worry about sugar in my drink. Will this still be an unhealthy choice? I've been doing that for a while, only drinking diet drinks along with heavy meals.

I like to weight lift and I know if I eat sugar even once in a week it fucks up my whole week even if I was eating perfectly otherwise. I can drink artificial sweetener on a daily basis and I don't see any negative effects in the gym.

More years ago than I care to contemplate, I first heard of L- sucrose, AKA left-handed sugar. It seems that this molecule, chemically identical to R - sucrose, but a mirror image of it, tastes exactly like ordinary sugar. Because of its left-handedness, though, not only can the bacteria that cause tooth decay not digest it, but also the enzymes in our own bodies that break down sugar cannot digest it. It is, therefore, absolutely free of caloric content, and would pass through our digestive tracts untouched. It would be very interesting to me and probably many others if you could look into this stuff and tell us why it is STILL not on the market, thirty-some years later. At the time, the explanation was that it was difficult and expensive to manufacture, but it seems to me that with modern gene-splicing techniques, both of those barriers could easily be overcome.

Then there's the added step of separation. Biological methods would not work since ALL life forms on earth use D-glucose. You would have to genetically engineer life forms FROM SCRATCH with enzyme machinery that is literally backwards to what we know. Now you have to feed them...I hope you're starting to see the problem. The video's point remains, that overloading our brains with false sugar signals is the main problem.

An article on the Diabetes UK web site describes research which debunks the insulin resistance theory.

I want a seek plus discussion with Dr Aaron Carol from Healthcare Triage

This video wouldn't explain why but sweeteners that have Maltodextrin or Dextrin in them trigger insulin. I just heard about it in one of Dr. Eric Berg DC's KZread videos.

If your body produces too much insulin without sugar to process cause hypoglycemia?

What about sweeteners like stevia? Does our body release insulin for that too?

My mom has type 1 diabetes so she does not produce insulin she has to use fake sugur, she uses stevia she has been dieabetic since she was 11 years old

Well would that cause a sugar low ... if insulin is produced and no sugar is present.. which I don't experience. Yes gut health is super important more important than one might think. That being said artificial sweeteners in reference to fruits ... most fruits aren't really ripe or sweet.

I've been drinking Iced tea with artificial sweetener for almost 10 years now. But despite of that I thank God cause according to my pre-employment Urine medical exam, the result is just fine/normal...

Yeah, our brain can taste the difference because artificial sweetener taste flat when regular sugar taste, sweet really sweet and the artificial sugar like I said again tasted flat

I just drink regular soda now just one 12oz can. I use to be a Diet Coke Addict. one 12 pack per day by myself. I do water and coffee or tea now. But mostly water.

But insuline is released when glucose enters the beta cell. I think that insuline release has nothing do to with our brain.

What about stevia??
