    Nope, it's the sugar industry spreading false rumors and investing in bad research to keep people addicted to sugar.
    The sugar and coffeine industries are one of the strongest in the world.

      I don't understand how being "addicted to sugar" is a bad thing and then still being addicted to it but getting your fix by using ersatz chemicals created in a lab is somehow okay. You're still addicted, aren't you?

        addiction is a israelite word

        we feel slightly better / energized / full / satiated / high - juiced up on whatever substance
        youll always have that feeling in the back of your mind, reminidng you it was more fun and felt good

        lack of selfcontrol will turn it into a systematic consumption, nobodys denying they want to do it again
        the only difference is that peole arent supposed to do it all the time but if you remove the word selfcontrol
        and capitalize israelily, addiction will bring in loads of money in form of substitute products and luckypills
        thatll always be the crutch for a weakness everyone has in the back of their subconscious minds

    They trigger insulin release and raise its level in the blood, making your cells more resistant to it, because there is nothing for the insulin to insert into the cells, since the sweetener is indigestable.

          Its something else causing the spike.

          >All participants underwent a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) preceded by consuming sucralose or placebo 15 min before glucose load, at two time points: week zero (Wk0) and week ten (Wk10). Serum insulin and glucose were measured every 15 min during both OGTTs.

          The studies trash

            As in each one drank a sugar drink for the oral glucose tolerance test...so obviously doing that test will spike insulin

        I think general IST reception to artificial sweeteners are typically positive. At least I imagine most people would agree its better for you than eating just plain sugar, unless youre that one anon that takes a bag of white sugar to the gym as his preworkout.

            This is where it gets a lot more divisive but I want to say that stevia and sucralose are more well received on here than others like aspartame.

    Define "bad". But in the way you are probably thinking (cause a negative impact to overall health) no, they are not bad. But neither is sugar unless you are overconsuming.

      ‘Bad’ would refer to things like making you crave sugar more by increasing insulin sensitivity which I believe there’s a study for regarding sucralose. Or things like diarrhea.

      I had some sugar free gum today for the first time in a long time & I’ve been on the toilet all day - it contains maltitol & xylitol.

      Also, I’d like to incorporate things like flavoured casein into my yogurt & oats etc

        >maltitol & xylitol
        Would bet its the maltitol. Stuff has given me liquid shits. Xylitol has never given me any problems other than a bit of gas

    I eat artificial sweeteners daily. The only thing that is confirmed that is does is make you crave sugar since you are basically cucking your body on sugar. I just keep this in mind and react accordingly. I drink coffee with stevia, bake with brown sugar stevia and put it in my oats, I drink Coke Zero, etc, etc, etc. I consume a lot of fake sugar.

    Aspartame is the worst. Stevie may be alright. I tend to avoid the chemical ones as should any rational human.

    No, they are fine. Nobody got sick from it even though it's consumed by billions. It's basically safe like the vaccine which has been also taken by billions of people around the world.

        Most of my diet, 95%, comes from clean food that has nameable ingredients that is not made in a bullshit factory being heavily processed. The 5% is bread that I buy when I’m being too lazy to use my flour mill to grind wheat berries into flour

    They certainly arn't good for you, but I think a lot of the fear mongering is definetly overblown.

    any difference between taking them vs not taking them is so miniscule that it's probably not even going to be noticable. in fact probably the most and only real measurable difference is that not taking them will save you money. for me the added pleasure to my meals is worth it. Love having a diet Iced tea to go with my meat and veggies. the self induced autism one gets from "oh no muh aspartame" would probably do more damage than the ingredient itself.

    And if you are that anal/scared about them, just don't consume them. Or go through periods of taking vs not taking and experiment to see if you actually feel any different. i almost guarantee you that you won't.

    artificial sweetner isnt healthy, but it's more healthy than sugar consumption. if you're currently drinking soda every day, and you cant quit, go for the sugar free option

      how do you actually know if its healthier or not ?

      we still have the same insuline/blood sugar repsonse
      we're basically tricking ourselves into thinking that we get something sweet
      but we dont get the energy that correlates with common sweet foods

      if anything, im worried that it might lead to insuline resistance and make us fatter/unhealthier than ever,
      i havent read up on it because i dont have much of a sweet tooth but i wouldnt trust it blindly

      just dont go overboard regardless of artificial or not

    it's bad and the soda industry has the audacity of putting it into regular sodas as well. look this shit up, I checked the cans of eg regular/original coke, fanta, sprite and they all have sucralose and other bullshit.

    if want to go for a good ol regular soda (because you'd think it's least not some poorly researched chemical like sucralose and it should contain natural sugar), you end up consuming BOTH sugar AND the artificial sweetener chemicals. WTF is this.

    The good news here is that I stopped getting even an occasional regular soda and any zero calorie bullshit as well. I just drink water now, teas, and sometimes carbonated water with a tiny cap of apple or coconut vinegar sprinkle for the taste. (makes it tase a bit like kombucha).
