Effect of sucralose and aspartame on glucose metabolism and gut hormones
Date of Publication: 2020
A 2020 review in Nutrition Reviews of clinical trials on how sucralose and aspartame affect blood glucose, insulin and gut hormones such as GLP-1. Most studies found no effect on these measures, while a minority reported changes in glucose, insulin sensitivity or GLP-1; the authors attribute the conflicting results largely to differences in study design. The full text is available from the publisher (Oxford University Press) via the link above. Referenced in our blog post on whether sucralose (Splenda) is bad for you.
