“I know you're not big on sugar and frequently tell people to cut down on it,” writes this week’s House Call. “But what about artificial sweeteners? Can I use those instead?”
@@drboyton1 I think if you want to lose weight you've got to lower your insulin while keeping your blood glucose levels safe. If you're taking artificial sweeteners to help you lose weight it ain't gonna work. you'll end up with insulin resistance and more weight. If you try to fast or diet while taking sweet drinks you may end up not losing weight but losing consciousness instead. eating more calories doesn't equate to more fat, having high insulin levels does, insulin levels high, you're storing more of your energy as fat, since you're doing this you'll end up being hungry for more calories. So it's the process of putting on fat which makes you more hungry and eat more calories. If you want to lose weight start by reducing insulin levels. If you eat high calorie stuff that doesn't increase insulin, you'll just be less hungry have more energy and go without food for longer not be more fat. Opposite ofc is true if you eat something low calorie that raises insulin a lot.
@@alexanderelsen9397 There are so many levels of wrong in your comment. There is a marked difference between having high peaks of insulin and having chronically elevated insulin levels. Lower general insulin levels will be the result of not over eating refined carbs. The research in this video is mostly correlational. Think about it: most people who drink a lot of diet soda do it because they think that they're being healthy, but they aren't putting in the effort with the rest of their diet. Pizza and burgers everyday does not equal weight loss even if they aren't getting calories through their drinks. It's called reverse causality: The people who are already obese are the ones consuming the most artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners DO NOT cause insulin resistance, and do not cause weight gain. Even if a diet soda did cause a release of insulin, what is the insulin going to store? There were no calories consumed and there is no excess sugar in the blood. The insulin levels would quickly go back to normal. "eating more calories doesn't equate to more fat" - This is just blatantly false. Eating more calories is the only way to gain more fat. High insulin levels will generally come from over consuming calories. But while insulin is a storage hormone, it doesn't just store fat. It also stores nutrients in the muscles. So if you're regularly exercising, using up nutrients in the muscles, and letting insulin do it's job of re-supplying nutrients, then it's highly unlikely that you would develop insulin resistance even if you were eating carbs while in a mild caloric surplus. "So it's the process of putting on fat which makes you more hungry and eat more calories" - Another rubbish statement. In general, an increase in adipose tissue will cause an increase in leptin, and therefore a suppressing of the appetite. Obese people have developed leptin resistance caused by over consumption of calorie dense food. "If you eat high calorie stuff that doesn't increase insulin, you'll just be less hungry have more energy and go without food for longer not be more fat." - Stupid and misleading. Just because you don't have high insulin doesn't mean you can't get fat. Even if you're doing Keto properly (moderate protein, very low carb, high fat) you can still gain weight if you over consume calories. If you eat less calories than you burn on a daily basis then you will lose weight. It has nothing to do with what a particular food will do with your insulin at a given moment. The primary driver for weight loss is being in a consistent daily caloric deficit. Misleading information like this video and your statement is the reason people struggle to lose weight.
I know people who are strong willed that try to quit Diet Coke and after a couple months can’t take it anymore and go back. I’m a recovering Diet Coke guy. It is very addictive. I have to remind myself each day why not to consume artificial sweeteners and to minimize sugars and crap carbs.
It is indeed addictive. When I was trying to get off the nicotine gum, at a certain point I discovered I was addicted to the sorbitol in the gum. Because I brushed my teeth and felt immediate relief from craving
Thank you, I was I was torn about using artificial sweeteners, after my doctor told me to pull back on my sugar. Now I know not to use them and just rid myself of my favorite drink, southern style sweet pea, yum! Well maybe not get rid of it. Instead of drinking multiple glasses at a meal. I've cut it back to 1/2 glass per day with all other consumption of liquid having to be water. And I even chase the 1/2 glass of tea with a full glass of water at that same meal.
I saw you speaking positive about Monk Fruit. What do you think about Monk Fruit? And Allulose? They don't make me eat more, like real sugar does. Sometimes, I may mix very little sugar with Allulose and/ or Monk Fruit to keep it calm outside of my 18 hours Intermittent Fasting!
We very seldom drink a whole can of soda with a meal, so we both stopped drinking soda from 12 oz (355 ML) cans and now drink 16.9 oz (500 ml) bottles of soda so we can put the twist caps back on, and put half back in the fridge, so we can finish the soda the next day. Most people feel obligated to finish a can, once the pop tab is opened. Reusing the twist caps keeps a bottle of soda from going "flat". I tend to drink more instant coffee (with milk & no sugar) and fruit juice to further reduce my consumption of sugar. WRZ Delaware County, PA
I drink a lot of diet coke and I can confirm the addiction part... I tried several times to stop but that causes nasty withdrawal symptoms. I feel downright depressed and tired when I don't drink for a day. It was even less difficult for me to quit smoking than it is to kick aspartame... That stuff is messed up!
I need to put something in my coffee or tea, or it is generally too bitter for me. What about honey? I use it anyhow instead of sugar/artificial substances, but is honey really healthier?
Great video Useful information, I have been taking artificial sweeteners for years, I have completely stopped them, I have noticed I have been gaining weight over the years, I tried dieting, nothing worked, so now I stopped all sweeteners , no sugar, no cakes , or biscuits, only some fruit I eat. Fingers crossed I hope I loose weight now.
number 1... link the research number 2... site your research number 3... where's the research number 4... where's the research number 5... please post this research number 6... for what medical reason do you find stevia "slightly better" number 7... comparing cocaine and artificial sweetner is seriously irresponsible. link the research. What you stated is horrifyingly terrible research. Did these rats prefer sweetness or artificial sweetener. Considering you need sugar to live, but you don't need cocaine to live. link your research link your research link your research link your research otherwise, even though I would like to take you seriously, I cannot! For what MEDICAL REASON is Stevia ok with you?
I drink diet sodas daily but eat healthy and been woried that I've been getting too hungry at night even though I've had good sized meals. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have soda with my evening meal. I don't need to lose weight but don't need to gain any either.
I am paleo and also candida, so i can't have sugar. I don't eat packaged goods either. My regular diet literally consists of fish, chicken, & lots of vegetables (also chicory & tiger nuts). I do like to add this stevia/xylitol to my homemade paleo cookies made from tiger nut flour, is this going to be a problem for me? I like to have this treat on occasion, since i consume no sugar. Once my candida is gone, I can have fruit again, so I'll probably drop it then, but in the mean time I'm very limited.
+Built For Each Other I hate to break this to you, but if you eat vegetables, (as you say you do), you are eating sugar. Just saying...you can have sugar...cause you do have sugar...cause vegetables contain sugar....
So, what if we don't change our diets, and just replace normal soda with diet? Are we still going to inflate like whales? It seems like all of the problems with artificial sugars are actions taken after their consumption.
I use an organic liquid stevia that does not have any other sweetener added and non gmo xylitol. I have read these are the best for our health if we want to use a sweetener. Yes aspartame is really bad and the others and do all those things you mentioned.
No any artificial sweeteners that are genetically made in the lab, is unhealthy and unsafe. If you are going to eat sugar eat real sugar, and stop/avoid.ANY ARTIFICIAL sugars. I hate when pple try to justify something as your liquid artificial sweeteners even though he's telling you not to eat ANY artificial sweeteners. This is the reason why cancer etc. Is up. Your body doest even know what artificial sweeteners are.
Actually Mark was basing this on old research with rats and mice. When these studies moved to humans they didn't get these results. From Science Based Medicine: All the reviews I found came to the same conclusion - that controlled experiments in humans shows a weight loss benefit. However, some reviews decried the lack of studies looking at other metabolic outcomes. Personally I don’t think this is concerning, because weight control seems to be the dominant factor for most people in determining related metabolic factors, like glycemic control. Looking at them separately would be useful, but I consider it unlikely that we will be surprised. Still, it is always better to be sure. To that end, there are recent studies (perhaps too recent for the reviews to have taken into consideration) that do look at metabolic outcomes. A 2018 study looked at the glycemic impact of consuming LCS (which they call non-nutritive sweeteners, or NNS): In comparison with the baseline, NNS consumption was not found to increase blood glucose level, and its concentration gradually declined over the course of observation following NNS consumption. So LCS did not have an adverse effect on insulin effectiveness (which some of the animals research suggested) and in fact had a positive impact on blood sugar over time. This is yet another example of why you cannot directly extrapolate from basic science to net clinical outcomes in humans - you have to study them directly.
Stevia is fine. There has only been studies on artificial sweeteners being bad for health due to messing with the digestive bacteria. Stevia does not do that. Any how. I use stevia a lot and it does not get me addicted. And its not artificial.
The artificial sweeteners straight up give me involuntary movements, pretty bad myoclonus that makes me accidentally drop or throw things. Good like trying to avoid this garbage. Want imitation lobster because you’re poor and can’t afford the real stuff. Too bad.
How about a link to some of these "studies"? Were those 2 diet sodas in addition to beverages with sugar? Or was it just diet soda and water? Were their diets altered? Were they getting their carbs from other sources? Such crap. Not everything in this world has to be bad for you, so if you're going to make the claim, post the studies.
Despite the controversy in the 1970s, independent studies by multiple countries and institutions since, have shown no long term effects for say, aspartame consumption, additional many artificial sweeteners are healthier in the long run than sugar. Ideally though natural sweetners should be used.
Michael Foulkes so what? People get killed with with KCl, doesn't mean taking potassium Corrie it's going to kill you. The dosis would have to be enormous.
Ok, i workout regularly, eat mostly healthy... and in good shape. Does it give you cancer or other serious health concerns? According to this... i would say no. Thanks, i will keep drinking my diet sodas!
It kinda is based on how its heavily processed from its natural state plus it increases hunger levels and actually craves you more sugar and never feeling satiated. Try it and experience it for yourself as I have. I dont just read articles and follow something blindly , i experience for myself
Dr. U just look stupid supporting studies done by competitors. The first study was rats going for sugar over cocaine. They just like sweet shit. Your credibility like so many on internet is pitiful.

Oh and what's more, after correcting the problem, I became a vegan, and now rival those elephants in my ability to avoid colon cancer! God gave us "seed" in Genesis!!
You draw the concusions that people who drink a lot of diet sodas are to a greater extent obeace, this is a fact. Although in this there is no consideration to the fact that a high percentage of people who drink a lot of soda are people with bad eating habits. These facts are bad and if you want batter content and greater credibility you could link your sources and also maybe learn to read them. I feel bad for everybody watching this and believing this bs.
I’m super skeptical… I’d like to read these studies for myself. I think this guy is lying…but I don’t know why he would. But I’ve seen lots of stuff on the topic and this isn’t what most of the scientific community says.
Oh boy, bc companies who market artificial sweeteners are marketing to pple who don't know any better. Your body doesn't know what artificial sweeteners are bc its genetically made in a lab. It doesn't know what to do with it. Sugar is grown from the earth, if you are going to eat sugar, just eat the real thing and stop trying to justify eating unhealthy with replacement sugars to mentally make you feel better
Dr. U just look stupid supporting studies done by competitors. The first study was rats going for sugar over cocaine. They just like sweet shit. Your credibility like so many on internet is pitiful
you are breaking rule number one of logic. Correlation does not imply causation.

kcvriess you are probably addicted to the caffeine.
Yeah bull crap you're not more addicted to artificial sweeteners than you are to nicotine
Using artificial sweetener doesn’t prove weight gain. Many people use artificial sweetener but then think they can eat whatever they want

Are healthy Frozen dinners ok to eat, not diet dinners, but real meat vegetables with pasta or rice. I choose pasta over rice if at all possible .

These facts are bad and if you want batter content and greater credibility you could link your sources and also maybe learn to read them. I feel bad for everybody watching this and believing this bs.
Uhm, ya. Don't listen to this guy, just read the other comments.

Sugar is grown from the earth, if you are going to eat sugar, just eat the real thing and stop trying to justify eating unhealthy with replacement sugars to mentally make you feel better
Sorry but weight gain studies are just plain stupid. Bought and paid for.
Dr. U just look stupid supporting studies done by competitors. The first study was rats going for sugar over cocaine. They just like sweet shit. Your credibility like so many on internet is pitiful
