For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US. The good doctor outlined five problems connected to fake sweeteners and the other options available. Artificial sweeteners have the potential to disrupt metabolic processes, the doctor explained. Despite not having much in the way of calories, they can still trigger an insulin response, in the same way real sugar would. Insulin with no sugar to dance with can impact blood sugar control and may even lead to issues such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Rather than satisfying the craving, fake sweeteners may just condition our taste buds to crave sweet foods all the more. To compensate this could lead to eating larger portions or seeking out additional sugary foods. In the grander scheme of diets and healthy eating, this could just be getting in our way. Dr Sam recommends replacing fake sweetener packed drinks with other options. Water){kind=link}
