Artificial sweeteners

[manderson]

Which artificial sweeteners have an affect on insulin? (Aspertame, sucralose, erythritol, etc.)

 

[George Spellwin]

I've seen that Splenda, Sunett and Sweet One can all affect insulin. Of course, it looks like there are conflicting studies on this.

Erythritol, stevia and Swerve don't give most people GI issues or insulin spikes. There's been a study on erythritol that showed it has a zero glycemic index and no effect on insulin in healthy individuals. Serum glucose and insulin levels and erythritol balance after oral administration of erythritol in healthy subjects. - PubMed - NCBI
