re: Some sugar substitutes are linked to diabetes

Aspartame is a very, very heavily researched substance and has proven to be very safe for regular consumption.. basically any study thusfar that shows negative outcomes is either highly flawed or they super mega dosed rats.


Im not too surprised by sucralose causing blood sugar spikes still, it still has substantial calories.. just less than sugar. Its labeled as 0 because of the <5 = 0 loophole, but iirc each packet of splenda is 2-3 calories. If youre chugging iced tea with splenda you're still downing plenty of calories, unknowingly.
