[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2265222, member: 401801"] Take cover, too much information coming in! For some people, artificial sweeteners don't do anything to their blood sugars. For others, the moment they smell or taste something sweet, the pancreas starts pumping out insulin, and when there's no rise in blood glucose, the liver has to start pumping out glucose (and usually too much of it) to compensate for going low, resulting in a rise. Yeah, I know, it's a bit of a merry-go-round eh. Testing what response you have 'll give you answers, whether you're one of the cans or can'ts.. But wait, there's more! Careful with how much you ingest. Artificial sweeteners are toxic to gut bacteria. If you have a lot of them (Like I did with about 50 sweetener doses per day in all my tea's, besides the diet cokes I had), your gut'll shut down. It can get very painful and quite bloody. Permanent damage can be done. I've healed my bacteria-levels, but a year and a half, almost two years later my gut's still.... Not quite right. So careful. And if you notice something going awry, sauerkraut is your friend. ;) [/QUOTE]
