Why am I not surprised by this?
Study: Artificial Sweeteners may promote diabetes
Always.
The work suggests the sweeteners change the composition of normal, beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Hampering Digestion....and creating an acid environment and the proliferation of the Bad Bacterias in the gut.
Thank you.
Drinks which contained sacharine and nutrasweet used to be labeled for use in person’s diabetic or could not include sugars in their diet for medical reasons only. That changed in the 80’s.

Dang! Try to be good and eat a sugar-free diet and bang!
So they decided on the study and even included some humans in the study. I smell no agenda there!
Makes sense to me but I am sure there are some multi-billion dollar companies that will disagree.
No $hit???
Is that not obvious?
I'm telling ya --- Dr. Atkins and Gary Taubes were correct about pretty much everything. I know Taubes wrote about artificial sweeteners being part of the weight gain problem. So, now "researchers" have caught up with the two guys that were excoriated for telling us that fat doesn't actually make us fat, and sugar and carbs are the real problems in our Western diet.
Let's forget about cane sugar & High Fructose Corn Syrup.Let's look for something else.
People are switching from Splenda to Stevia but I don’t like either. I don’t like some of things I’ve read about Stevia. I’ll just stick to sugar or honey.
Trying to fool the body has consequences. Better a little real sugar than a lot of the imaginary kind. Or at least that’s how this schlub has always looked at it.
Well, that’s a surprise to me. I and others I know who developed type II in our 50s didn’t touch artificial sweeteners before we were diagnosed. In the group of six I know we were not more than 5 to 10 lb over our average/ideal weight, didn’t abuse sugar intake, exercised and generally took care of ourselves.
My blood sugar dropped drastically as soon as I cut out sugar and went to sucralose. I don’t need insulin, and I didn’t take any medication for it until I aged about 8 more years and the blood sugar inched up slightly from the norm.
Sounds like an agenda driven study.
Study shows ‘scientists’ don’t know (enough) about how the human body works to speculate about shinola, but they’ll keep their hands out for MO’ MONEY to keep the study going.
As another posted, butter/eggs were bad, then good, etc. It’s all speculation and dogma to keep the gravy-train running.
I prefer unsweet tea
Artificial sweeteners taste bad. Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is abnormal.
Stevia is probably better than the other sweetners, I think, since it is plant-based-it is more expensive, though.
I’m going to stay with the diet my family has always followed-locally available grass fed meat, fresh eggs from free range chickens, home grown veggies, fresh fruit, local honey, no processed food, no sugar, few carbs, no bleached grains, no drugs-never been overweight-best choice for me.
