worsens insulin response in obese or insulin-resistant humans.
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
worsens insulin response in obese or insulin-resistant humans.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

these drinks are a metabolic nightmare for humans and yet we've just begun to understand this in the research and no one is being held accountable for this
when humans consume this drink you have a mismatch between presented nutrients and sweetness and what happened in both adults humans and especially in adolescent humans was that when carbohydrates were presented with artificial sweeteners specifically sucralose in this case people became insulin resistant really fast there were metabolic derangements
Splenda plus carbohydrates created major problems in fact in this study by Dana small who's the lead author I believe she's at Yale and another Northeastern University she's a psychologist they actually had to terminate the trial in adolescence early because there was such profound insulin sensitivity dysregulation in the study so this is really worth reading guys this study is incredible and really scary for any of you eating anything with sucralose and carbohydrates in it
this is all Quorum sensing all gut disruption side at the level of the brain and vagal signaling to the brain from the gut sucralose plus carbohydrates appears to cause all sorts of problems with carbohydrate tolerance glucose tolerance
we know when consumed with carbohydrate containing products like this because it does have carbohydrates messes up our metabolic function as humans it creates insulin resistance it creates glucose intolerance when you have sucralose and artificial sweetener with carbohydrate containing products it confuses the body's neurometabolic response at the level of the stomach and the brain
Healthy adults that consumed sucralose with, but not without, a carbohydrate (maltodextrin) experienced reduced insulin sensitivity and altered brain responses to sweet tastes. https://t.co/j8IKi5bOPw
