If using artificial sweeteners allows you to maintain a healthier body fat level by removing sugar then the benefits of that outweigh the drawbacks of artificial sweeteners.

@joviankaz 29 дней назад

In some cases yes. But there is always the drawback of the longer term effects such as risks to the gut microbiome equilibrium

@ZsuzsaKarolySmith 26 дней назад

Yes, on balance, it’s better not to consume sugar substitutes at all, but if the alternative is obesity and diabetes due to too much sugar consumption, then they are still the lesser of two evils!

@tomlaureys1734 Месяц назад

I lost 15 kg over the last one year by switching to the carnivore diet. I switched from putting sugar in my coffee to putting milk in my coffee. All the doctors in the carnivore diet RU-vid videos say to take the carnivore challenge and try it yourself so I took the challenge and I found out that they were right. A low-carb diet really does work. But don't believe me try it yourself.

@ZsuzsaKarolySmith 26 дней назад

Artificial sweeteners initiate an insulin reaction though, because your brain thinks sugar is coming. May not be a good thing long term.

@joas162 Месяц назад

I was surprised to find out you can buy xylitol in a bag like table sugar. I use it in my tea sometimes and the taste is pretty good. Crazy that it may benefit my teeth, because it's so similar to table sugar.

@retwerts Месяц назад

@@AirPowereddiet soda is mostly neutral and if you want to drink something sweet it is preferred option to sugar drink. You just reduced your caffeine intake, that’s the only thing which changed and makes sense.

@MrCaseHarts Месяц назад

We can’t lump them all together. Stevia isn’t aspartame which isn’t monk fruit. Some have studies showing positive outcomes. Aspertane is not one of those. I’d like to see a big study on all of them.

@retwerts Месяц назад

What do you mean “positive outcome”? Most generally have neutral effect on health and in general if you drink sugared drinks if you switch to artificially sweetened drinks it would have a positive effect because you would reduce your calories. Of course you don’t have to drink sweet drinks but if you can’t resist it’s better to be with artificial sweeteners. It’s not really that complicated.

@diablominero Месяц назад

I'm not going to give up decent-tasting sweetness. It's either the good artificial sweeteners (aspartame and sucralose) or sugar. And sugar has more toxicity than aspartame.

@joviankaz Месяц назад

Aspartame is definitely not a good option. Perhaps choose more wisely: Xylitol, erythritol or allulose tend to show little to no adverse effects...

@diablominero Месяц назад

@@joviankaz Allulose makes me feel sick when I eat too much of it, and stings my throat like fructose. Erythritol leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth for hours and has been linked to excessive blood clotting. Meanwhile aspartame doesn't make me noticeably sick and tastes great.

@joviankaz Месяц назад

"linked to" articles tend to misrepresent the cause and effect - perhaps (most likely) erythritol has been linked to blood clotting because the body produces it DUE to the clotting (or other cause)... Aspartame is definitely a poor choice if you want a healthy microbiome (gut) & that doesn't tend to show up immediately (until too late or perhaps late enough to cause severe discomfort in gut health related symptoms)

@Alex-dg3zg Месяц назад

That taste-the sweetness-causes havoc in your body starting with poor gut health. Don’t use anything that makes things ‘sweet’

@diablominero Месяц назад

@@joviankaz the non-nutritive sweetener that has the best data connecting it to gut microbiome disruption is stevia, yet idiots always recommend it because it's "natural." "Microbiome" is the latest buzzword people mindlessly use to justify the biases they already had, like "detox." The last time I had to take broad-spectrum antibiotics, my gut health noticeably improved for a few weeks. So I don't think there's much going right for me for aspartame to harm even if that were a real risk (which I frankly doubt).

@andreslazaro7291 Месяц назад

Can i use stevia???

@danbance5799 Месяц назад

Absent any clear benefit for non-nutritive sweeteners, I'm sticking with plain water. For protein shakes, I get the unflavored stuff and flavor it myself. Usually, I just blend it with a small amount of fresh fruit. Once you switch to unsweetened foods, the sucralose laden stuff just tastes gross.

@retwerts Месяц назад

Why are you doing this to yourself? Not everything you consume needs to be “beneficial”. By the way in the context of someone trying to loose weight blending the protein with fruit is not that great of an option unless you blend it with strawberries or something like that. Unflavoured protein is awful in taste. The point of artificial sweeteners is to enjoy sweet things but not risk getting weight because unlike sugar, they have no calories. That’s it. If you don’t like sweet stuff, good for you, I like to enjoy every once in a while.

@mestrinimaster3602 Месяц назад

@@retwertsUnflavoured protein goes really well with coffee and oat "milk" and flavoured protein is very, very sweet for those that don't sweeten food or beverages. I don't think you should judge what others find pleasant.

@danbance5799 29 дней назад

@@sukkeri I'm pre-diabetic, so I'm looking at long term metabolic health. The problem with non-nutritive sweeteners is that your pancreas and liver don't know they aren't sugar. Most sweeteners have a mix of positive and negative health effects, and I'm not persuaded that on balance they're benign. Also, sucralose tastes disgustingly sweet. I genuinely prefer things that are only minimally sweet. When I was a kid, I preferred Cheerios to fruit loops. Sometimes protein powders make sense if I'm out for a long bike ride, but most of the time, if I feel a need for supplemental protein, I just eat a tin of mackerel. Whole food with some omega-3s.
