Aspartame does not increase insulin levels. People have heard that Sucralose does and group all artificial sweeteners together.

  > The sweet taste of artificial sweeteners triggers cephalic phase insulin release, causing a small rise in insulin levels. I'm gonna bet it does. Even our autonomic systems are pavlovian in conjunction, for good reason evolutionarily (hyper efficiency somewhere in the past).

    You can bet whatever you wish, insulin levels are quantifiable. Studies have looked at exactly this question and have been unable to show an increase with Aspartame specifically. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29982723/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29982723/

      In diabetic adults aspartame does (and probably stevia, sucralose in everyone iirc), which is only a subset of sweeteners. More than that, the studies are being done regarding apparent insulin resistance developed by the guy bacteria after prolonged usage, which causes the body to have to produce more. So it does sometimes and usually, depending on composition. I'll double down on that. Good luck with whatever.

        >In diabetic adults aspartame does Since you're stating this definitively in a response to Someone posting evidence debunking your previous claim, can you link a study backing it up?
