Artificial (and Natural) Sweeteners
AS and NS have been discussed frequently in this forum. This is a reasonable summary of the information we have at this time.

Sweet taste, sugar, and insulin-spiking carbohydrates all have their issues. To minimize one without the other does not circumvent any of these issues. Furthermore, how we deal with food is a symbiotic interaction between our body, brain, and the bacteria that reside within our gut. Artificial foods and chemicals may have unwanted effects on this interaction and can negatively influence our health.

Note that the jury is still out for Stevia, my infrequent "go to" if I want a sweet taste. More research is required. |
