Artificial Sweeteners question
I have read lately that both Splenda and SomerSweet do NOT cause spikes in insulin as do other AS's. Does anyone know about this? As I understand it, these came on the market AFTER the Hellers published their books, so they may not have researched these specifically. I do understand what they are saying as to the body being fooled by the TASTE of the AS, thus releasing insulin in response to ANY sweet thing, even if it has no actual carbs... BUT since reading that Splenda has been actually tested and did not cause a release of insulin... I guess I am looking for confirmation that using it will not cause a stall.
Anyone know about this?
Thanks,
Chana
