I don't know why but I find most of the research on artificial sweeteners is very confusing/baised.
1. Research says that artificial sweeteners increase insulin levels just like regular sugar. I can understand that brain is making pancreas release insulin in anticipation that the body maybe going to receive heavy dose of carbohydrate.
2. So if that's the case then shouldn't the unnecessarily released insulin shuffle whatever blood glucose in the cells? Shouldn't that indirectly cause low blood sugar? because there are no real carbohydrate were consumed to justify the increased insulin.
3. Granted your liver will release stored glucose to balance blood sugar but again it has limited stock. If you're in keto, deprived of most of the carbohydrate, your liver doesn't have glucose left to balance your blood sugar. So using artificial sweeteners in keto means you must get low blood sugar and it should give you its symptoms. Low blood sugar make you very hungry, it makes you crave sweet food and it makes you lethargic.
4. But those symptoms are absent. Using artificial sweeteners doesn't make me more hungry or lethargic.
5. On deep keto, people can take black coffee with artificial sweeteners and do fasting for whole day and still don't get hungry. (fasting is very easy on keto, if you didn't know).
6. If above logic is sound then the research doesn't make any sense.
7. If research is saying artificial sweeteners should empty your liver glucose store faster. Isn't that very outcome highly desired by the people who are doing carb cycle/low carb/keto diet? If the research is saying that artificial sweeteners makes your liver release glucose then how's that not like doing cardio? We are doing the same thing on cardio, emptying glucose storage so that body can go on fat burning phase.
8. If you just use artificial sweeteners and avoid sugars for many years, Shouldn't body learn to not to release insulin just because our taste buds tasted something sweet. Maybe it'll start expecting food to be present in the digestion tracks first. We are feeding our children food which is very sugary. But we replace that sugar with artificial sweeteners, shouldn't body develop ability to not to release insulin only because the child tasted something sweet in its mouth?
9. This particular research was done on 17 people only. And only half of them were on artificial sweeteners. It's too small research scale to consider it. Plus you should also consider that sugar lobby is one of the biggest in the US and they'll do anything to destroy anything that comes against the sugar. They did that to saturated fats and cholesterol previously.
10. So guys what am I missing from this picture? Is there a problem with my logic or research has some fallacies in it?
