do artificial sweeteners spike insulin?

Yes Bruce, it's sooo remarkable in Tea I must say.....that has flamer written all over it.....do you still put crack in your tea, too? Or is that separate?

???????

your problem is <insert here?>
what flamer? I like stevia in tea, but say in oatmeal I don't think it's palatable; and, yes, crack in tea is an excellenet thermogenic and appetite suppressant

Any spike in insulin would be non-significant, unless of course, you out do yourself and REALLY load up. I'd personally be more worried about the side-effects of aspartame if consumed in great amounts...

it looks as though you may be right-

why then do many people believe that artificial sweeteners cause an insulin response?

artificial sweeteners make it seem like we are getting something for free, and as well all know, nothing in life is free

Again, it's a high consumption of aspartame that is a problem. A much better choice is sucrose (splenda)

the problem with the internet is that there is so much information that it becomes very difficult to distinguish propaganda from fact.
