Signs of Diabetes – Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners do have a effect on the Human Body
It was always thought that because artificial sugars have very little carbohydrates it does not effect the way the body handles glucose.
Studies in humans and animals have shown that when artificial sweeteners are consumed without carbohydrates they do not trigger GLP-1 secretion (GLP-1 signals; “I am full stop eating”)
Dr. Rebecca J. Brown and colleagues from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease reports “in light of the large number of individuals using artificial sweeteners on a daily basis, it appears essential to carefully investigate the associated effects on metabolism and weight.”
“However, our data demonstrate that artificial sweeteners synergize with glucose to enhance GLP-1 release in healthy volunteers” Brown and colleagues report.
Some evidence that artificial sweeteners may in fact trigger secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
- GLP-1 is released from the digestive tract when a person eats as a “fullness” signal to the brain – curbing appetite and calorie intake
More studies are needed with Type two diabetes, to conclude the effect of sweeteners on the metabolism. (it is believe that it slows down the metabolism) Read more …..
Cheers!
