Bottom line:
> Collectively, our study suggests that commonly consumed NNS [non-nutritive sweeteners] may not be physiologically inert in humans as previously contemplated, with some of their effects mediated indirectly through impacts exerted on distinct configurations of the human microbiome.
In other words, these sweeteners can alter gut bacteria in humans, each person can have a different reaction, and the consequences of these changes are largely unknown.
- wrycoder 4y agoThe conclusions were at the very end, and I’m not really sure what they were. Not a very good article.
- jibe 4y agoAlmost like they expect people to read the whole thing.
- layer8 4y agoThe article is still inconclusive.
- thehappypm 4y agoBecause the science is inconclusive, but these results are interesting anyway.
- hinkley 4y agoI strongly feel that it’s a good policy not to try to trick your body into thinking something is going on when it isn’t. Tricking it into thinking you are sugar has consequences. So does tricking your body into thinking you have an active lifestyle (eg, weight lifting for aesthetics vs cross training).
