Artificial Sweeteners
From Transwiki
| Sweetener | Carbs | Baking? | Stimulates insulin release?[1]
| notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saccharin (Sweet'nLow) | Powdered .9g/g carbs (as dextrose) so instead use: Liquid is 0-carbs [1] concentrated [2]
Use 1/8 of called for sugar, (10 drops = 1 teaspoon sugar) | Yes | ? | Worries about cancer are unfounded [2]
Probably the safest AS(Artificial Sweetener) Available. |
| Sucralose(Splenda) | Granular 1 tsp = 0.5g carbs (as dextrose) Packet = .9g carb(as dextrose) so instead use: | Yes | ? | Short track record. |
[edit] Notes
- ↑ There is a learned response that causes insulin release when sweetness is experienced, There is also evidence that some artificial sweeteners effect receptors in the GI tract that cause insulin release. NIH article
- ↑ Sugar is known to increase cancer risk)
A study conducted at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, found that stevioside enhances insulin secretion from mouse pancreatic islets in the presence of glucose. The researchers state, "Stevioside stimulates insulin secretion via a direct action on pancreatic beta cells. The results indicate that the compounds may have a potential role as an anti-hyperglycemic agent in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus."
