After T2 diabetes diagnosis, I swichted to splenda, then truvia. Heck...reports like this made me go from 3/4 coffee, 1/4 whole milk. Still sweet to me w/o the blood sugar issues.
Mmmm.....chlorinated hydrocarbon, just like DDT. You can destroy fire ant mounds with sucralose.
Have to compare it with the effects of corn sweeteners. Using splenda definitely reduces my blood glucose.
I was a Splenda junkie for a few years...gave up most of it when I stopped drinking diet soda and gave up the rest when I started caring about my microbiome. Nevertheless, as this is a headline-making “discovery”, we should be asking who funded the study? Big Sugar has lost a lot of business to Splenda.
I’ve been drinking diet colas- I guess I better re-think that…
Well, this is new.
But it doesn’t matter, especially if one reading this understands why it doesn’t matter (Capt. Obvious).
It’s a conveniently timed study blaming an artificial sweetener for damaging DNA, to distract from the growing mountain of evidence that the Jim Jones Jab from Pfizer and ModeRNA alter DNA.
All my life never used any artificial sweeteners and always used regular sugar (now use “sugar in the raw” while I never had a single “high blood sugar” result in any blood tests (never even close to “pre” diabetic).
About 90% of Type II diabetics are over weight and my uneducated guess and belief is the constant over weight condition preceeded and helped bring on the diabetes.
Why? Being over weight - diabetic or not - is most often associated with constant consumption of too many carbs. Over consumption of too many carbs results in a high rate of carbs being converted to some forms the body can store. Type II diabetes are often told by their doctors not too look so much at “sugar” content of an item, look at the total carbs for the item. Doctors know the results of too many carbs, and doctors treating diabetics know it is total carbs more than mere “sugar” (one of the carbs) any diabetic has to watch.
Lastly, any Type II diabetic I have ever know that vastly reduced or got rid of their diabetes did so with a weight reduction and life style weight control regimen that adreesed their total carbs not specifically the sugar.
