It appears that the source of non-nutritive sweeteners (artificial or natural) does not differ in their effects on energy intake, postprandial glucose and insulin. **PDF:** [[📂 Media/PDFs/ijo.2016.225.pdf]] | **Endpoints** | **Exposures** | **Populations** | **General** | **People** | | -------------- | ---------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------- | ---------- | | #insulin | #artificial_sweeteners | #humans | #nutrition | | | #blood_glucose | | #overweight | #low_carb_talking_points | | | | | #obese | #novel_food | | | | | | #processed_food | | | | | | #sugar | | | | | | #sugar_sweetened_beverages | | | | | | #hormones | | **** Ma, Jing, et al. ‘Effect of the Artificial Sweetener, Sucralose, on Gastric Emptying and Incretin Hormone Release in Healthy Subjects’. _American Journal of Physiology.

This implies that artificial sweeteners may have no therapeutic benefit in the dietary management of diabetes, other than as a substitute for carbohydrate. **PDF:** [[📂 Media/PDFs/ajpgi.90708.2008.pdf]] | **Endpoints** | **Exposures** | **Populations** | **General** | **People** | | -------------- | ---------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------- | ---------- | | #insulin | #artificial_sweeteners | #humans | #nutrition | | | #blood_glucose | | | #low_carb_talking_points | | | #satiety | | | #novel_food | | | | | | #processed_food | | | | | | #sugar | | | | | | #sugar_sweetened_beverages | | | | | | #hormones | | ****
