Sucralose is also extremely potent, for what it’s worth, so that you only have to use a tiny amount of it.
It’s one thing you have to look out for in studies on the health effects of a lot of artificial sweeteners, particularly in animals. The doses might look reasonable at first glance, but are often orders of magnitude greater than anyone would actually consume.
(This doesn’t apply to sugar alcohols, mind you, which tend to have a similar or even lesser sweetness to sugar.)

- mistercow 2y agoYes. Read the actual study. And ask yourself, why on earth, with all the possible vehicles out there, someone would choose 20% of the typical RDI of glucose for a study on the effect of a sweetener on glucose tolerance. If they were going out of their way to find the most confounding vehicle possible, they’d have been hard pressed to find a better choice.
