A lot of artificial sweeteners fuck around with the insulin response from memory

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The statement is partially true. Some artificial sweeteners, such as sucralose and aspartame, have been shown in certain studies to affect insulin response. However, the effect can vary depending on the sweetener, the individual, and the context (e.g., whether consumed with other foods). The evidence is mixed, and not all artificial sweeteners have been proven to significantly impact insulin levels.

Overall, while there may be some effects on insulin response, it's not a uniform response across all artificial sweeteners or individuals.

Did I say "all artificial sweeteners" and "all individuals"?

LLM-ass response over two paragraphs to say "yeah that's basically true"
