“Even though artificial sweeteners such as saccharin, cyclamate, aspartame, and sucralose have no calories, it is believed that their sweet taste stimulates hormonal release in the small intestine and therefore promotes insulin release. Insulin, in turn, makes us hungry, so that the actual aim of artificial sweeteners, which is to save calories, is negated. Additionally, artificial sweeteners confuse the brain. Your brain registers that it’s tasting something sweet and thus expects an increase in blood glucose. When that increase in blood glucose doesn’t happen, the brain isn’t satiated, setting in motion a vicious cycle that requires larger and larger amounts of sweet things. Studies have demonstrated that the increased use of artificial sweeteners could not reduce the disease rate for type 2 diabetes or obesity. On the contrary: Artificial sweeteners have fostered the obesity and diabetes epidemic.101”
