[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2292405, member: 196898"] There may well be something that backs this up. Our digestion system is a well coiled spring waiting for food to enter our mouth. From there a series of enzymes attack the food to break it down to its constituent parts that we use for energy. The mouth has one set of sensors that detects sweet things, and also starch molecules and if present then this triggers a splash of Amylase to start digesting these sugars in the mouth before we even swallow. This Amylase release is also the trigger to our pancreas to start the Stage 1 Insulin response so we release insulin in readiness to use or store glucose from the incoming food. If there is no food following, this flush dies away, and the insulin release falls away since it is not required. There is a second (Stage 2) insulin release that occurs in the duodenum when the carbs move there for digestion and absorption into the bloodstream via the intestine walls. This is a second release of Amylase along with Protase, and Lactase and it occurs in the stomach. This is a larger release and the insulin it triggers is longer lasting and usually gets turned off when it has done its job (signaled by Grehlin and/or low blood sugar levels) Recent studies on artificial sweetners did show that some of them cause a false trigger of amylase in the mouth and this was causing unnecessary buildup of insulin because there were no real carbs there for the stomach to deal with. It may be that coffees can do the same. [/QUOTE]
