This is concerning because the UK introduced a sugar tax on drinks a few years ago, which caused drinks companies to add artificial sweeteners, to compensate for the reduction in sugar.
I'm diabetic and have been told to use sweeteners in place of sugar. I do find the GP's advice seems very dated anyway.
@@Electrowavesame here
Just don't drink sweetened beverages
You can't drink this stuff. It's poison and you will be on meds for the side effects. If you are lucky, the disease you get won't be permanent.
@@massexy Agreed and FYI Stevia started to be banned in 1965 and they actually completed the ban in 1991 from USA, please check Detoxinista on why I stopped stevia.
Thank you so much sir for highlighting these health issues 👍🏻👍🏻
Your knowledge works on me! Time to make some changes. I don’t want to hurt myself.
You might want to clarify that you mean Splenda, the company, not Splenda the actual sweetener, produces a range of different sweeteners, like allulose. Allulose and Sucralose are completely different chemical products from completely different processes. When I heard that, my initial impression was that you were referring to the product, not the company. Had to re-listen to it and check to be sure.
Great Vlog I needed this Info
Avoid buying processed foods.
Thanks Dr Mike 💯
Excellent!
I use good old brown sugar on my coffee, and I am now 76 yrs old and have no diabetes!
Lol Brown sugar is still sugar, friend. Not any different just because it's another color, just as people aren't any different.
I too believed brown sugar was healthier, but it's sugar coated in molasses.
@@Acts-1322 Big difference and although brown sugar is made from molasses (a derivative from sucralose I believe), it's still much....much better than all artificial sweeteners. Regular organic sugar even better.
Thank you
Did they study pure Stevia (a natural sweetener) alone, or was it mixed with maltodextrin (which is sugar) or something else?
Pure stevia is not artificial. It comes from a plant much as sugar does.
i wish i could train myself to enjoy drinking plain water. I eventually and finally got myself to actually ENJOY black coffee. I never drank it sweetened, but i did ❤️ it light, with half&half or even full fat whipping cream. The first few weeks, my morning coffee was disappointing…not satisfying. But i kept on, and now i ❤ it black as much (almost) as i did creamy.
i think I’ll go pour myself a glass of ice cold water right now.
Wish me luck.🤞🤞👌
Teas have some flavor. Took me awhile to go from sweet tea to unsweet tea, but I now prefer it unsweet.
I drink Lipton Southern Sweet tea w/sucralose. I use half the recommended amount and add green tea and orange spice herbal tea. When a study comes out saying it WILL cause these things I will stop. Right now we're still at the MAY cause phase.
Same. Just made a large pitcher of water with some added organic frozen fruit. Trying to break my addiction to "energy" drinks which always just make me more tired. Good luck!
I found that I could get myself to drink more flavored unsweetened carbonated water than plain water. Now I'm back to just plain water (and black coffee in the mornings).
Same. I quit sugar a few weeks ago. Then I caved and bought Splenda. I noticed aches and pains came back, so I quit it after about a week of two packets a day in coffee. I've found squeezing fresh lemon juice or lime into my water makes it go down easier.
Would loved to have seen a comparison included citing the affects of sugar, (glucose) verses synthetic sugars.
For a healthy individual,pros and cons using either ?
Would help to save time towards the need of looking further ,since you mentioned the subject.
These are not synthetic sugars, but chemicals which stimulate the sweet taste receptors.
@@alunjones3860 And? They're all bad for you, sweeteners are supposedly better than sugars, especially HFCS, so in comparison, how bad are they vs each other?
@@roofdogblues7400 You're right. That's also what I would like to know.
As I said in another post, a lot of the harm of diet sweeteners is probably down to the body producing insulin in the response to sweet tastes, causing a drop in blood sugar, which could promote insulin resistance. The obvious way to prove is to do a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial, with capsules filled with sweeteners swallowed whole.
My doctor advised me that insulin resistance was due to the large amounts of carbs in my diet, mostly bread and pasts but also some sugar. I cut out nearly all carbohydrates and substituted monkfruit with erythritol in place of sugar. (Please don’t lecture me on cutting sweet drinks out of my diet, cutting out carbs was hard enough.) Bottom line, after eight months I have lost 35 pounds and my A1C has dropped from 6.4 to 5.7 (it’s now in the normal range). I respect good research but in the final analysis what works or doesn’t work versus a control group may not reflect all individual differences. I know what works for me. By the way, there may be a conflict of interest, which Dr. Hansen should acknowledge, in criticizing artificial sweeteners while promoting his own profit-making weight loss regime using prescription drugs.
@@richardcoughlin8931 Heck, I have no intention of lecturing anyone. Well done.
Note that in your case it's still short term. The results after 8 years would count more. You're also following a more restrictive diet than is practical for most people.
How much exercise do you do? I've never been able to keep the weight off through changing my diet alone. I found exercise was essential for me. My diet was also never the problem for me, but lack of activity. I'm not saying this applies to you, or anyone else, but was certainly true for me personally.
One thing I learned about diet sweeteners is they might not have calories themselves, but your body thinks it just had a bunch of sugar, so they make your body store the sugar it already has as fat. And then because you didn't actually have sugar, now have low blood sugar, and you get hungrier to compensate and end up eating more.
Can you do an update on cbd and the research to date on its efficacy?
I'm struggling to understand how stevia and aspartame are being lumped together.
If you look at most stevia products ( at least in Australia) they are mostly eyrithritol and steviol glycosides, not ground up dried stevia leaves. The plant tastes vastly less chemically and more grassy than the conviniently packaged chemicals… that’s probably why!
@@fionnawheatley9095 That's too bad, it's unfortunate to not make that distinction in the video. I can't imagine pure stevia is bad for you, and if it is, it can't be close to the disaster that saccharin and aspartame are.
@@mightbefire some stevia products contain dectrose or maltodextrin, theyre probably using cheap versions of stevia to sway ppl from trying it. i know aldi's big bag of stevia had maltodextrin so i didnt bother with it when searching for new stevia. this is my guess anyways.
@@Nu_Merick Too bad, pretty terrible to contaminate stevia with these other ingredients.
Artificial sweeteners increase hunger/cravings for sweets long-term, which results in insulin resistance & weight gain over time. They've known this forever but I guess just now decided to make a big thing of it. Basically there's no "free lunch" with anything sweet. You have to limit your overall sweets intake whether it's from glucose, fructose or one of these sources.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doctor Mike great video and information. Having said that, I been using "Swerve" instead of all the other you mentioned. My question i Swerve any better than all the others? Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
Swerve is erythritol. There was a recent study that hit the news showing that there may be a correlation between erythritol consumption and cardiovascular events, but it is apparently inconclusive. So erythritol may be OK in moderation.
@@mouffetteintrepide8445 DO NOT use this either! Stevia was banned for consumption in 1991and I've been doing a lot of research.
What is your opinion on sugar alcohols such as xylitol, erythritol, etc.? I cut out artificial sweeteners years ago, but I do use xylitol mints for dental health.
NO GOOD!
I sweeten my hibiscus tea with Splenda and I have done so for decades.
That doesn't mean it's good for you. Jeanne Calment, the oldest recorded person, who lived to 122, was a smoker.
@@alunjones3860 Doesn't make it bad either, some people are allergic to water, some people can't handle aspirin, everyone is different, what's bad for one may be fine for most or vice versa.
@@roofdogblues7400 I call BS on being water allergy.
Yes everyone is different, but there are some things which are universally proven toe be bad for the human body. There might be individuals who can tolerate higher doses than others, but that doesn't make them good.
@@alunjones3860 Your opinion doesn't change reality, do some research.
From WebMD: " *What Is Aquagenic Urticaria?*
About one-fifth of the population will have hives at some point. It's a common ailment. But one form of hives, called aquagenic urticaria, is a very rare condition.
We only know of about 100 cases of aquagenic urticaria. As you may guess by looking at the name, contact with water causes it. Those with this condition often develop red, itchy skin when they touch water. The temperature and acidity or alkalinity of the water aren't factors in causing a reaction. A few people react only to saltwater."
@@roofdogblues7400 Seeing as how humans are at least 75% water, that would be a tough allergy to have and still be alive.
Thoughts on stevia compared to the others?
I use pure Stevia because Monk Fruit is significantly more expensive. Has that changed any? Most of the Monk Fruit sweeteners I've seen are mostly erythritol with small amounts of monk fruit and not pure monk fruit.
Do you know anything about Burning Mouth Syndrome which I now have. It's painful.
Hi Dr.Hansen good see you again take care pal ✌️👍 💪🏿 💪🏿 thanks for another great video as always you my doctor you are awesome. People don't forget hit that like button 👍👍👍👍👍 Dr.Hansen speed lot his time on these videos he is a awesome and the best thank you for hitting the like button thank you in advance everyone have a great day 👍✌️ 💪🏿 💪🏿 💪🏿
So, if we shouldn't consume sugar, OR artificial sweeteners, what's left? Asking for a friend.
what about pure allulose?
Please do a video on tunnel vision syndrome /mentality with details ASAP
People may say "it's only in large amounts!" while they think chugging down a diet coke won't count. Excpecialy with diets now, with people either over-indulging on sugar or thinking that they can get away with consuming it in large amounts thinking nothing of it.
i have splenda , splenda is the best it changed my life ❤
When I’m feeling pretty good I go to Dr Hanson to get depressed. I’m in my late 70s so the doc’s info is some decades too late. As for water, I don’t like the Chlorine and Fluoride taste. I kill it with Splenda.
I use a RO(Reverse Osmosis) filter. It removes both and the water is refreshing.
Well…guess I gotta break a years long habit.
Darn…(not because I have to break it, but because the time invested considering potential damage wrought)
I definitely agree with the assessment of sucralose. I got what I thought was food poisoning about 12 years ago and every time I got feeling better I would have a glass of iced tea and then I would get sick all over again. It took me a few times to figure out that the sucralose I was using to sweeten my tea was the culprit. I quit using Splenda and I never got sick again. In case you don't know sucralose is also the active ingredient in Exlax.
How about stevia, is that safe?
Is Erythritol harmful? It seems to be in all the Monk fruit sweeteners.
so maltitol, Erythritol, sorbytol, etc are safe then?
My mom uses sucralose sweeteners every day but she has pre-diabetes so I wouldn't really want to recommend her to sub it with real sugar?
So Doc, what's the answer, especially for us w/Type 2 diabetes? Can't do sugar, can't do artificial sweeteners- what's left as an option? Monk fruit, that's it?
Cutting out sugar and using artificial sweeteners is a great way to cut your calories.
an even better way is to reduce the consumption of sweet things in general. having done that i now find a lot of sweet and semisweet things to be very to unbearably sweet.
Cutting calories is not something we need to worry about if yiu eat healthy.
Did he say no-no to stevia?
And your lifespan 😂
How are we still stumbling around with the wool over our eyes, rambling about calories? The hormonal model throws the idea that a calorie is a calorie right out the window. Every ingredient, every micro and macro, even the order of your meals all have various effects on your hormones, your microbiome, your organs, etc.
For instance: 2 studies demonstrated *"Food order has significant impact on postprandial glucose & insulin levels"*, even between the same exact isocaloric meals. Veggies & protein first = 36.7% less 60minute postprandial glucose rise, and 73% less time under the curve! The other study showed 40% difference vs carbs first!
Point #2: *"Effects of physical form of diet on body composition"*; simply turning 2 different types of feed for mice into powders caused them to gain 85% more fat-body mass ratio, and DOUBLED (200% ^) abdominal adipose, by eating just 11% more... likely because they were hungrier. Think of processed carbs like cereal, crackers, pancakes, pasta, bread, muffins, bagels, etc.
Thank you so much. I don’t even trust stevia anymore either because of oxalates and it’s a WHITE powder. I was wondering about monk fruit extract and that’s all I take now.
1st!
And here I thought I was doing the right thing avoiding sugar and consuming sacarina. Dang it
Monk fruit. Stevia. However, watch out what they add to it. Buyer beware. Be informed.
Allulose has been showing itself as anti-cancer even - and it has no after-taste. This guy is shilling for big harma.
all are bad, I just spent 2 weeks researching
something being produced by nature doesnt necessarily mean its healthy or just harmless. after all mother nature produces some of the most potent and scary toxins known to science!
well well,I always thought Stevia was diabetic friendly sweetener, but it looks like I was wrong? Though I reverse the DT2 and have pretty good results(this morning the fasting glucose was 92 )I still have severe inflammation and it doesn't go away. maybe Stevia is the problem? hm...
And ps I lost ten pounds of inflammation in the first 4 days after I quit eating all that junk food. I was in rough shape. I think I've lost 15 by now.
I'm so glad I stumbled onto Dr ken berry UA-cam channel and went down that rabbit hole of carnivore diet. Read so many comments that convinced me I could do it, too.
How’s that?? ,huh Dr. Mike. ☺️🙏🏼
im not giving up soda ive reduced to to 1-2 a day . so your telling me if a person drinks say 4 a day and are not gonna give it up its still better than 5 0 calorie drinks when on a calorie diet ?
Wonder how long they've known this?
I have trouble believing anything from the WHO anymore.
Look at the data, not just the guidelines.
Their article doesn't even link to studies or research, which is sus. I don't trust what anyone says about how I should live that has no credible sources for that info.
@@susanbrewer1320the "data" told you to wear a mask on a plane and not go to your grandmas funeral as well👍👍
@@step1610and?
@@step1610 And it was correct
Doc, what is the connection between artificial sugars and almost no difference in weight? Does it make you eat other sugary things as well, it doesnt make sense at all to me.
It's pretty easy, the increased feeling of hunger in relation to hormone levels. When you use artificial sweetners your brain still gets the "we've got energy to spend" signal, but the energy isn't there which makes your stomach try to get that energy, which isn't there. Which in turn means you have an increased feeling of hunger which translates to eating more. At least that's what I found based on research that I did as I myself got significantly more more hungry after drinking pepsi (which here in Europe went to a low-sugar variant to avoid added tax in UK law).
I initially drunk pepsi as a replacement of coke as it had roughly half the sugar without artificial sweetners (and I hate the artificial sweetener taste), but after they switched to low-sugar recipe I got notably more hungry. Even directly after a decent meal I noticed I would be hungry almost immediately rather than hours after. This in turn got me to eat more than I normally would to get rid of that hunger.
While artificial sugar might be great for dieting if there would be no effect on any other dietary choices, in reality it gets people to eat and drink more nullifying or inverting the actual caloric profit you get.
The scoops and scoops I used to have of sucralose in my beverages over the past year because of my sweet addiction...😢 I stopped buying the artificial sweetner right before I heard that it was destroying dna. I stopped because I wanted to save money. I never felt off as a result of having the sweetener though. My May bloodwork came back with the expected low iron, b vitamin, and vitamin D3, no borderline diabetesthis time. There is just no way around this stuff, we have to eat in moderation. Too much of any one thing especially something not natural is bound to have terrible consequences.
Or even some natural things. Some are poisonous to us we just don't harvest them much less commerce them as food
Why don't you link the study?
How many kgs per day ?
When you suffering in your sugar levels?
Remember when science said hydrogenated vegetable oil was better than butter, For a couple of decades
Exactly 😅
Diet soda contains aspartame, not sucralose. Also Splenda branded stevia or monk fruit sweeteners contain more erythritol (sugr alcohol) than stevia or monk fruit FYI
I didn't hear you mention Xylitol. Is there any research on whether that's harmful?
There is limited scientific evidence to suggest that sucralose, a low-calorie artificial sweetener, may have some impact on gut health, but the research is not conclusive, and more studies are needed to fully understand the potential effects.
Some studies have suggested that sucralose may alter the gut microbiota, which could have implications for gut health. However, the results are mixed, and the significance of these changes is not fully understood. The impact of sucralose on gut health may vary from person to person.
It's important to note that sucralose is generally considered safe for consumption by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) when used within acceptable daily intake levels. These agencies have reviewed the available scientific evidence and determined that sucralose does not pose a significant risk to human health.
I very much doubt any zero calorie sweetener is harmless, irrespective of whether it's natural, or artificial. Some such as sucralose might be, but it's probably the body's physiological response to sweet stimuli, without receiving an equivalent level of sugar, which causes the damage, rather than the chemical itself. There's evidence to suggest sweet flavours stimulate the production of insulin, which would lower the blood sugar level and could promote insulin resistance.
Not entirely true since stevia actually improves insulin sensitivity
@@LiamGutierrez Where's the evidence to support that? It seems unlikely. It's not digested or absorbed by the human body and is used in too lower concentrations to act like fibre.
There is actually NO evidence supporting the notion that sweet flavors trick the brain into telling your pancreas to produce insulin, as insulin production is a chemical response to sugar actually being in your system. You need to realize that if non-nutritive sweeteners were actually capable of triggering an insulin response, every type 2 diabetic would hypo after drinking even a single diet or zero sugar beverage. And since I AM a type 2 diabetic who monitors their blood sugar every single day, I will flat out tell you non-nutritive sweeteners have no affect on my blood sugar levels at all in either direction. I do not go hypo or hyper after consuming them. This video is perpetuating myths that have no conclusive studies backing up the claims. And seeing as I consume non-nutritive sweeteners and am a controlled type 2 diabetic with normal blood sugar levels without being on medications, I'm inclined to believe what's before my eyes rather than a bunch of inconclusive observational studies.
@@LiamGutierrez Where's the evidence to suggest that?
@@LiamGutierrez And just because it's natural, it doesn't mean it's safe or healthy. Plenty of natural chemicals are toxic.
How am I supposed to take Protein when all of the powders are using Sucralose to sweeten them?
You would have to drink gallons of Splenda each day for this effect!
I cant find an energy drink without sugar or an artificial sweetener in it... Maybe jocko fuel? Anyone know any?
Why is monk fruit safe but not stevia?
I can't agree with this in all good faith. Where do you draw the line?
At any added sugar or sweetener, only get sugar from natural sources, mostly whole fruit. Get flavors from other sources, like herbs and spices. If you get used to unsweetened food, a little added honey will taste great, and you'll hopefully be disciplined enough to use less of it.
I'm hesitant to admit, I'm on Carnivore for 90 days. I never used artificial sweetener in my life and I'm 64. I put 1 pk of Splenda in my coffee. That's it.
The people who can find fault with artificial sweeteners are the same ones who think it is okay to recommend high carbohydrate diets for people with diabetes. Like Dr. Hansen, they will tell you what’s bad but are weak on recommending what’s good. Of course, “more work needs to be done.” In science, it is good to do the work first and then publish or try to scare people.
According to Mayo Clinic, this article is not true🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
do u have the link?
Sweet Leaf brand stevia is *pure* stevia (nothing else), and it's organic
Is it a problem???
I stick with normal sugar
I get ill/sick taking this
Such a bummer! Monk fruit is great and all but it just seems incomplete. Always better with stevia like 50/50. Fml
The dna aspect is a bit of a stretch. When tested via test tube you’ll find that amino acids (the building blocks of who we are) will even cause dna damage as well. For a doctor I am a bit surprised by the automatic jumping of conclusions based on a single research article which was only one of the systematically reviewed and it’s on the lowest spectrum in terms of strength in evidence. It was an observational study. Yikes.
Ok so what sugars should we use..if you’re already diabetic.
Please rethink sugar use. I've eaten carnivore for 5 years. I don't consume sugar. If you are a type 2 diabetic, you can wean yourself off of sugar and put your type 2 diabetes in remission. Sugar consumption is absolutely Not necessary in the human diet. Our ancestors 100,000 didn't have fruits or berries every day. Most of the foods in grocery stores did not exist 200 years. Please look up videos by Dr Ken Berry about the keto/carnivore way of eating.
@@carnivoreRon I agree with some of this. But you also have to consider 200 years ago we only lived to what..45? And maybe the introduction of more fiber could have an effect on increasing lifespan? This is from an article of why we are living longer.....
4. Improved food and nutrition
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats aids longevity as people who live in Blue Zones know since they often reach long lifespans of 100 or more Their diets are heavily plant-based with limited meat except for fish. They also eat beans, nuts, and limit sugar.
If you go Carnivore try to get as little saturated fat as you can.
Stevia
@@YamatoForever The avg was 45 years old, that's an average of all people from birth to old age, if you understand how averages work, you'd know that's not the oldest people got. Before modern medicine, most infants and children wouldn't make it, but if you lived to be 10 yo, you'd probably live into your 70's or 80's.
@@ronnie5329 How about No sugars or stevia. Your body absolutely does not need sugar to function. About the only part of the body that does is red blood cells. Ketones are more efficient fuel. The human brain functions best on ketones
They have maltodextrin in it which cancels out the zero calorie effect.
How about stevia?
When I drink a few cans of sodas with other sweeteners, my insides start feeling weird. Never noticed that when I drink tea with stevia in it. But he says stevia and derivatives of stevia are on their list of bad for you sweeteners, which makes me suspect the research was sponsored by Big Sugar. Especially since they didn't research sugar alcohols.
I've recently tried some Zevia soda, which is sweetened with stevia, but don't like the taste enough to drink more than one can a day, so can't compare it with ace-k or aspartame sweetened soda.
So I dont take them directly. But there is stevia in the dark chocolate that I eat.
Artificial sweetener lobby forgot to pay the WHO
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I suspect the sugar industry may have directly or indirectly funded these studies. Just a hunch.
Why did the FDA approve all these poisons?
I remember when saccharine-sweetened Tab soda was popular and had a lot of friends addicted to the caffeine and ghastly overly-sweet flavor. Aspartame was supposed to be better…if you like sudden diarrhea. Sucralose is another unappealing chemical flavor, which makes me personally crave salty foods to get that taste out of my mouth. I once liked Xylitol, but it is expensive and very poisonous for dogs. My own eldest brother died with a drawer full of Snickers and a fridge full of diet sodas…and he never recovered his ability to walk, after “dieting” for 50+ years.
I’m sticking with 2t. honey 🍯 from a local beekeeper for my morning coffee..it’s the only sweet beverage worth drinking, and literally all I need to get through my day. Occasionally, I substitute real maple syrup from a family farm, when the honey’s scarce.
Water is life, and more importantly a pretty good aid to digestion and health maintenance. We need to protect our water quality, and drink more of it.
Yeah I've heard "diet" soda is worse than regular sugar-laden soda.
Thanks notfor long
I gave up all artificial sweeteners 3 years ago.
a natural sweetenners cost a lot of money, i prefer "saccharine" verry cheep and tast good !
Nothing as sweet as sucralose can be consumed without consequence.
I used splenda 25 years.
Not citing the sources on this was not great. I have questions about the methodology used in your study regarding dna. My biggest question being, how are they measuring the amount of that chemical being created in our gut? How are they measuring how much is absorbed?
I have these questions because for them to measure the chemical with certainty they'd have to extract it. Which makes me wonder if they're extracting it, was it ever absorbed in the first place? We have a whole bunch of things floating around in our blood, but our dna is very safely tucked away in the nucleus of our cells. So this supposedly harmful chemical needs to be absorbed by our gut, allowed into our cells, and then make its way into the nucleus. That's a lot of assumptions.
arent monk fruit same as stevia and mostly made out of Erythritol. Also arent sugar also known to cause cancer and all other problems so how does it compare to sugar thats main question
Nah. Unless i have too. As it turns out i want to enjoy food and drinks. Dont worry i drink plain water and eat real food as well.
Avoid diet drink, cool no problem… *looks over at all my health/fitness supplements and protein shakes…. Oh no*
And this is why everyone be having early deaths. Do what i do avoid sweeteners and dont buy any drinks that have them in.
Does anyone actually still take the WHO seriously? After recent fiascos, I certainly do not.
I grow my own stevia.
Lucky to me none of them artificial sweetener tastes sweet. So I try to be just sugarless.
Oh great, I just got back from the grocery store and I bought 400 packets of Stevia in the Raw.
Look man, what I don't get ... If these artificial sweeteners are bad or that bad , why are they allowed to be manufactured and put into eating products ? I don't get it. These inatitutions that regulate food and ingredients and verify all this so people don't consume things that are bad for yheir health, why do they allow it to be manufactured and added into products ? If artificial sweeteners are bad or very bad or cause problems for humans health why don't they ban them ? Anyway
Can you detox from this?
Was this study compared to sugared beverages or water? Sure, sucralose is worse than water. But is it really as bad as a sugared soda?
Okay, so artificial sweeteners are bad. Sugared beverages are bad (super high glycemic index). Presumably juices are bad for the same reason. Coffee is bad (acrylimides, and not really hydrating). Beer is obviously bad, alcohol, carb calories, not really hydrating. So, we can't drink anything but water?
Green Tea
These are really good questions. I try to see sugar (glucose + fructose) as a drug that just should be avoided in any amount. Artificial sweeters, seemingly aren't so good and can be problematic when consumed in excess. I can't answer your questions as I do not have the knowledge, but I would assume, they (Artificial sweeteners) are still highly preferable over sugar consumption unless you have too much of them. Ideally, only water should be drank I guess, but we probably aren't going to do that.
@@Predictable1 great reply
@@User8vfjhejf Yeah, tea is the one thing I left out. That's a fair answer for some people. I personally dislike tea, unless sweetened, which is a fail again.

@@Predictable1 how about honey?
The rub with them dor me is they are just like sugar in the way they affect your sugar reading so why bother? Easier 😅in tea. No melting.
This is really confusing. How is stevia bad for you? It’s a natural plant, not a manufactured chemical. Please clarify this in a future video. I use stevia in my coffee every day!
I've been using Sugarine for 50 years, apart from Type 2 Diabetes ( from my sweet tooth), I've been fairly healthy.
Aspartame can cause brain fog.
Splenda, stevia or sugar, it makes no difference as I check them all. Someone always have something to say bad about them all. F IT, JUST PUT HONEY IN EVERY THING EVEN YOUR COFFEE 😂
I’m gonna just stick to manuka honey. Honey is ancient so it must be good.
I had to cut out Stevia because they landed me in the ER 3x’s in 2021-2022. Stevia acts as a vasodilator and a diuretic.
Shouldn't this be labelled on white sugar as well since that's artificial too...
