    *shoddy, not shotty. But yes[0], while metabolic pathways have been identified where artificial sweeteners certainly could cause insulin issues, RCT's have failed to find this effect expressed in vivo. Artificial sweeteners do cause notable changes in gut biomes, and the effects of that are unknown. 0: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.598340/full?ref=assuma-o-controle-de-sua-saude.com https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.59834...
