I started to drink Zevia drinks last year as a way to try and cut back on beer (trying to give myself a fun beverage to have after dinner that wasn’t alcohol) and I do genuinely like the taste of them. Especially the cherry flavour! They taste less sweet to me than regular pop, which is too sweet for my personal taste. I did wonder for a while about these beverages being ‘too good to be true’ (how can something taste good with 0 calories?) so this was very helpful. I think for people who genuinely like the taste, they can be a good way to give yourself a fun treat in moderation.

Thank you for this information. I am diabetic(controlled by diet) and do not ingest much sugar. I do substitute with swerve. But I don't use it often. If I do cook something with swerve I find myself more hungry. Not insatiable. But also since switching from sugar to swerve I've lost 50 lbs. I feel like I'm craving more protein and veggies.

I have a minor sweet tooth, but I only eat a little bit of sweets at a time. Sugar generally makes me feel sick, this includes soda which is one of my favorites. I know soda is bad for tooth enamel because of the acids, so I've taken to drinking lightly artificially sweetened seltzer water lately. With this change I have only noticed that I don't have a sugar crash or any nausea/bloating. A win-win for me!

I'm going to go with disagree here... Kind of. 21 a week isn't that much. That's one at every meal. Most people I know don't drink water with their meals, including the people I know who are fit and eat healthy. That's all they drink outside of meals, but water just doesn't do it for some people alongside food. I do believe there's a good chance this is a correlation vs causation issue, just not for the reason you're giving.

I recently started using 1 1/2 teaspoons of erythritol in my French toast (4 eggs, 3 slices wholegrain bread, vanilla extract, cinnamon) for breakfast. I now also have one 10 calorie portion of jelly (sugar free that contains aspartame) to get some gelatin/collagen in my diet. Before that I never used artificial sweeteners, never drank soda let alone diet soda and I almost never eat candy or sweets. It's probably not the healthiest thing in the world but I see people who drink tons of sugar free energy drinks, diet sodas, splenda ridden coffees every day that comparatively my usage of it isn't that bad.

Erythritol's only real biological effect could be loose stools or dehydration in excessive amounts. Unlike stevia or monkfruit, it's a single chemical that isn't absorbed by the body, it just passes through the GI tract.

Thank you for presenting the research currently available on artificial sweeteners (and the lack thereof of natural sweeteners). When I was in my phase of disordered eating, I would chew lots of sugar-free gum, and it honestly was horribly for my mental health since I was so fearful of actual sugar. I really hope that (like you said), more research comes out about the effects of sweeteners on health, not so we can demonize sweeteners, but understand how to consume them in moderation in our society

I actually paused the video before #5 to share my thoughts with you! Thanks for doing this video because this is a subject I care deeply about and have for a long time. First of all, I have found over the years that I have an EXTREME intolerance to sucralose and so does my sister. We both get stomach cramps that would send anyone to the hospital. So needless the say, we avoid it like the plague. Which limits our choices in a lot of areas, especially pre-packaged beverages and sweets. I don't know why it's just this one artificial sweetener, because aspartame doesn't bother us, however we avoid it altogether just to be safe. This intolerance lead me down a path of research and recommending to my family and friends to just avoid it. In my mind, if it can cause even one person so much pain, why would I want any of my loved ones to consume it? I realize everyone is different but it just doesn't make sense to me. Additionally you talked about artificial sweeteners and sweetness pallet changes and i definitely experienced this! In late 2015 I used to consume two or three large Dr. Peppers a day while eating one or two large bags of Welch's gummies. I cringe just thinking about it! Slowly over the course of the next few years, I started reducing my sugar intake and got to a point where I consumed almost no sugar except what I put in my coffee every day (maybe a tablespoon). Once I had accustomed my pallet to that kind of sugarless diet, I noticed how AMAZING fruit tasted. I used to hate fruit, too. I also can't eat many packaged sweet snacks anymore, like Oreos and Cookies, because they're simply too sweet! For the most part now, if I eat anything sweet, it's either sweetened with regular sugar or honey, and if I encounter anything else, I can taste it immediately. Its like a super power haha So I would say I have experienced what you're talking about, for sure. Again, thank you for doing this video! I love it and all the information you share!

Very well-done & thorough video. Thank you. Because of all this controversy and the possible side effects of artificial sweeteners, I wonder if the often unavoidable sweeteners in toothpaste might cause issues in some people (e.g. is there a difference between swallowing them and scrubbing our teeth with them?). That might be an interesting video for the future. I saw you included essential oils as part of your video on Covid-19. I'm dimly aware of essential oils' marketing history (much of it tainted with MLM), and would greatly appreciate if you could do a future video solely on essential oils. Also, the topic of turmeric is weird as well, seeing as how it has amazing anti-inflammatory properties, and yet I scanned a few articles noting how it and other herbs can serve to block iron absorption and potentially cause anemia in certain folks (this might be valuable info for vegans especially). Just another video idea. I know you get a ton of requests, so I apologize about throwing all these at you at once. Thanks again for the vid & and all the work you (and whomever else) put into the research.

Stevia, for me caused a ton of problems..I started using a meal replacement and I was obviously consuming high amounts. Said organic too. But I had started getting horrible hip pains and then my stomach sooooo messed up that I'm still trying to repair it. Pain all over ect. My husband said , babe have you changed your diet? ..I said well the meal replacement. Then I looked into it and all these other people same issues and more. So I've stopped for a week now and guess what .. hip pain GONE.. I was so upset because we were sent extra and they charge us saying NO REFUND.. hopefully we can exchange then. I don't believe all meal replacements are bad. But evidently Stevia was banned in the 90s..pssht .. no more trying anything like this. I've had too many things happen from products I started. Plexus was another one and Cacao at 3 tbs a day is really hard on your body too.

I'm kind of the opposite. In highschool I drank a lot of sugar sweetened soda and ate a lot of sweets. Somewhere in my 20s I switched over to diet coke (1-2 max a day) and reduced sweets in general when I took an interest in nutrition. Now sugary foods give me mucous/post nasal drip and I would rather have nothing than a sugar sweetened drink. My tastes just totally changed away from sweets. I don't use any sweetener, just banana or other fruit in smoothies or oatmeal etc. Desserts are fun on occasion but I rarely crave them and always need to run to brush my teeth and drink a bunch of water after!

@Anthony ZaleskiEven whole food and complex carbohydrates can still be bad for folks especially if they are insulin resistant. The only saving grace for whole food and complex carbohydrates is that they contain fiber, which slows down the absorption of the sugar, and not spike insulin as fast. That makes a difference, and provides balance energy rather than a sugar crash.

Tracy Andrirs “Bread tastes like sweet dough to me” Haha, funny you describe it like that. :) Off topic but This reminded me of a conversation with a guy I met back in college. He and his family moved from Europe to the USA when he was a teenager. (Spain iirc, Idk the region) He mentioned bread was one of the “every day foods” that took him a long time to adjust to. To him American bread loaves “are almost as sweet as a plain cake.” That blew my mind at the time, but it made me aware that even basic staple foods sold in the USA/CA are unhealthier than what’s conventionally eaten in other countries. Its also the conversation that made me notice most bread has refined sugar or corn sweetener in the ingredients list - even many of the breads that are marketed at health conscious people (multigrain, wholewheat, 100% whole grain, organic, sprouted) will have some cane sugar, molasses or honey thrown in. I have really a time hard finding “light”/“thin” (reduced calorie) bread products that are also 100% whole grain AND completely unsweetened.

Anything relating to food an nutrition is super hard to study in actual humans. This is especially true in the long term. The reason being...you can't completely control someones diet long term. So you have to rely on self reporting which is about as accurate as one might expect it to be. Plus correlation does not equal causation. This is exemplified by the meta study that found that people who ate french fries were more likely to die. Humans are complicated machines and we have no direct way of proving that variable A is the only variable in a study. So ya we can see some correlations that if Variable A is applied then outcome B is more likely. But we can't prove it. Because we just don't know all the other variables. Think about it this way. You are in a dark room with your eyes closed. You bump up against a solid object. Based on your experience, and your fingers touching the surface of that object, you think it's a wall with some weird wall paper. But really, what you don't realize is that just beyond your fingertips, the surface curves and you have actually been feeling up an elephant. Science is always looking for that place where you can shed enough light and get enough information to realize that hey this isn't a wall, it's an elephant. Long way to say...most diet related research is inconclusive.

Artificial sweeteners have lowered my tolerance for real sugar. I find sugar cloying. That said, the reason might be that I stopped consuming real sugar at the same time. These days I only eat no-sugar peanut and almond butters because the sweetened versions don't taste as good. The fruits I prefer are tart berries. I've always loved vegetables. No change there! So, I'd say I don't like sugar as much as I used to, which may have more to do with going off sugar than going on artificial sweeteners.

I know you touched on it at the end of the video (18:48), but I would have liked a little more explanation about the effect of low calorie sweeteners on insulin levels. I know most low calorie sweeteners are proven to have little to no effect on blood glucose, because, well, the body does not metabolize is as such. But I would think the sweet taste in our mouth would trigger some type of insulin response, no? It would explain the augmented cravings, alongside that pleasure pathway not being activated in the brain, and the fact that it's not satiating like you mentionned. Either way, I used to use some natural and artificial sweeteners, like a little bit of aspartame here and there, erythritol, stevia, monk fruit. Looking back I really did not like the effect it had on my apetite levels and my sweeteness tolerance. I felt like I never had enough dessert when it was sweetened with stevia or erythritol. I was done eating my portion and, next thing you know, I was up in the fridge, looking for my next fix of something, anything. And it was rather unconsious too, it's like my body knew something was missing. Being off of sweeteners now, and just enjoying desserts with maple syrup, coconut sugar, and white and brown sugar here and there, it's crazy the difference it makes. I eat a small portion and I know I'm done. Now I do tend to think anything too processed can have consequences on how we eat and how we metabolize foods, so I tend to err on the side of caution, especially with hyper-palatable foods. If I want to treat myself to something sweet I get the real thing and get it over with. Low-calorie sweeteners just created a kind of vicious cycle for me that was not worth it. Great video by the way!

Use a blood sugar monitor and compare all your favorite artificial sugars to know how each one affects you personally. No need to wonder. This is a very educational way to know. I learned that stevia is the only one that only raises my blood sugars less than 5 points. The rest raise it hugely. That’s me, what happens to your blood sugar? Take a before eating test then eat the artificial sugar, wait 30 minutes, test again. This was the smartest thing I ever did to know exactly which of these sugars to steer clear of.

My mother has type 1 diabetes as an adult, which is rare. They couldn't figure out why her sugars were so dangerously high all the time, despite changing her diet and dosages of her meds. I casually mentioned to her doctor that she drinks several sprite zeros per day, as its her favorite fizzy soda. The doctor suggested she try going a week without drinking or eating anything with artificial sweeteners in it, and we were surprised that her sugars went down to a completely normal level as if she wasn't even diabetic. So...apparently, in some people, the body treats artificial sweeteners exactly the same as real sugar. If you are having trouble with regulating your blood sugars, I would definitely try cutting out all artificial sweeteners....it was definitely a REAL life saver for my mom.

Suddenly decreasing caffeine intake or increasing it drastically can trigger migraines though. Or you could have withdrawal symptoms when you completely cut it out (say, 6 cups of coffee per day to zero caffeine). (I do have credible sources for that, but they're in German. I researched it a lot, because I have chronic headaches. Caffeine and sugar is really not all evil. I can stave off a coming migraine with a sweet coffee/non diet coke, because the mix of increasing brain activity with caffeine and energy boost from the sugar can give a kick to the "overworked" brain and might keep it from going into alarm mode until it can restore the balance of neurotransmitters and electrolytes in the brain enough to not devolve into a migraine.

In my personal opinion, diet sodas were the nail in the head for helping me lose weight. People think diet sodas make you wanna eat more, but they don't take into account that satiety is food volume and low calorie beverages have the same effect as water aka giving extra stomach volume. If people claim you need calories for satiety then they would also have to accept that drinking water (no calories) is ineffective for weight loss. Also all the studies i have seen people eating more with diet soda are based on intuitive eating and intuitive eating is not perfect. If you ate based on a rough caloric goal instead of your gut feeling then you see that diet sodas actually help since you can drink a fair amount, because it barely adds to your daily total calories like water.

FYI: Stevia is NOT artificial. Stevia is a plant that tastes sweet naturally, even in the whole green leaf taken straight off the plant. Also, Truvia IS NOT stevia. It is a patented and trademarked name for a combination of erythritol and stevia. It is MOSTLY erythritol even though CARGIL, it’s maker, tried to dupe the public into thinking it was only stevia. Unless you have a different formulation in Canada. So is it possible you meant to use the umbrella term of “ALTERNATIVE sweetener” which fits better to include ARTIFICIAL sweeteners like saccharine and aspertame, etc as well as sugar alcohols which aren’t naturally occurring like glucose sucrose or fructose?

As for diet soda being better for diabetics...my mom nor her doctor couldn't figure out what was causing her blood sugars to be so dangerously high, no matter what she ate or by changing up her meds. Turns out the sprite zero that she loves so much was the culprit....as soon as she switched to sugar and sweetener free sparkling water for her daily fizz fix, her blood sugar immediately regulated to a normal level. So yes...artificial sweeteners CAN and DO cause blood sugar spikes as if you are actually consuming real sugar. I feel like more people need to know this, it could save lives and limbs!

Wow, this is fascinating. I got really into artificial sweeteners when I lost a bunch of weight in 2016-2019 and I initially felt it was a great weight loss aid, especially because I was such an added-sugar addict before. But I've since started to experience signs of a massive sugar crash when I consume artificial sweeteners with meals/beverages before exercising. My appetite also seems to have become more "volatile" as well, where I'll suddenly feel the need to grab anything I can get my hands on in almost a frenzy when I experience these intense sugar crashes, even if I had a balanced meal relatively recently. I suspected that over time, regular consumption of artificial sweeteners has caused my body to treat it as regular sugar in an energy/metabolic way, but it was just a suspicion. This information from research is what I needed to feel more confident about that. It's what I needed to hear to dial it back, which is what I wanted to do anyway. I feel empowered with information!

My experience with sugar/sweetness tolerance: I never drink soda, but I do love ice cream, cakes/brownies, candies, etc. Several years ago I noticed that I was thinking about sugar all the time, so I decided to cut sugar out of my diet. I stopped eating dessert, candies, Cliff Bars (which had a lot of sugar), cranberry trail mix, sugary Peanut Butter, etc etc. It wasn't easy at first, and here and there I would eat some candy or a treat. Fast forward to a while later, I was traveling and there wasn't much at the gas station in terms of snacks. I grabbed a Cliff Bar because I needed to eat something and I noticed that it was wayyy to sweet for me to enjoy it. It didn't taste good. I'd rather just eat a slice of cake- it probably has the same amount of sugar anyways! That's when I gave up the no sugar diet- I noticed my sugar tolerance was much lower I later started studying at a coffee shop pretty regularly. I only really drink coffee/tea on occasion only, but I would buy a drink every time I studied there because I felt bad sitting there and not ordering anything. I would just pay for the cheapest and smallest drink on the menu, which was usually an iced coffee. I wouldn't add any syrup to sweeten it because I was being cheap. The only sugar they had at the sugar/milk station was the raw turbinado sugar and one variety of artificial sweetener that had a funny aftertaste. So I would use the turbinado sugar BUT THE SUGAR WOULDN'T DISSOLVE! (Drink was too cold, and the crystals would stick to the ice). So I would just end up taking a few sips of the bitter coffee (not a fan) and toss it. HOWEVER, I eventually got used to drinking iced coffee without sugar and started to enjoy it. All I need is milk. The same goes for black tea! I don't need sugar anymore, just milk. Overall my tolerance for sugar has lowered and I don't eat or want those sugary snacks I used to eat regularly (ahem Cliff Bars, overly sweet yogurt). But I'm not on a sugar-free diet anymore. If I want cake, I'll eat it! I just don't think about it all the time anymore, which was my goal.

I used to use truvia and Splenda in my tea and coffee in high school (I was also suffering from orthorexia...) I never really noticed any specific side effects from them, but that might be because I already felt exhausted and fatigued from over exercising, under eating and not sleeping enough, heh. I don’t eat a lot of sugar now, and mostly stick to honey or brown sugar when I need to add sweetness to something. I’ve noticed that when I’ve accidentally consumed artificial sweeteners in the past few years, my blood sugar feels like it plummets. I get extremely hungry, shaky, light headed and nauseous and don’t feel better until I eat something with actual calories. I’m not sure if they all cause this for me, or only specific ones do.

My very unscientific study about sweeteners has come to the conclusion that they're bad for you. They give me splitting headaches, and this is a very common side affect, so they're doing something besides just making things sweet. God bless the people who can eat them, but I can't.

Sucralose did that to me when I was consuming it for every meal. I tried nutrisystem (did not work for me for this reason) and after a few days, I had horrible stomach cramping and pain just continuously. I stopped the nutrisystem, it fixed it. I go to look at the ingredient list, the only real difference between that and my diet previously was that they put sucralose in everything. That's not to say sucralose is bad for everyone, my digestive system just didn't seem to like it in such relatively large quantities.

I'm allergic to aspartame, the rest though are fine for me. I'm pretty sure it's safe, but some people can have intolerances to them. I'm only allergic to one of them, the others are fine. I can't taste the difference between them and real sugar in truth. Mind you, I can't taste the difference between decaff and regular coffee either.

Hi Abbey! I’m an RD in Florida, absolutely love your channel. This was a fantastic video. I agree that we need more research on the topic, but I can share my anecdotal evidence as a dietitian who counsels primarily patients with diabetes. There is a HUGE difference in the difficulty of blood sugar management in people who consume aspartame/sucralose on a daily basis versus those who don’t. I have had so many patients come to me after years of routine diet sodas and “sugar free” everything and they’ll be eating literally zero carb diets and will still have blood sugars in the 200s. After a few months of cutting out artificial sweeteners their blood sugar becomes easier to control with much higher carb intake. It’s pretty amazing. It’s also downright scary how many foods contain artificial sweeteners these days. There are even tortillas and breads with sucralose.

I purchased some sugar free items(didn't know about sugar alcohols), long story short my 4 year old became very sick, he was screaming in pain, horrible diarrhea & sweating profusely. I made zero connection to the sugar free items.I was so concerned I took him to the hospital. Come to find out the doctor said it was due to the sugar alcohols in the sugar free foods. NEVER again.I found monk fruit & allulose to be great sugar substitutes.

I'm glad she points out multiple times that animal research is not human research. We've cured Alzheimers in mice three different ways and none of those "cures" worked on humans at all. That's just one example. Animals are often the first step to test something, not the end step, and most animal research ends up being inapplicable. (not to mention a lot of time they give animals concentrations of things that no human would ever consume in a lifetime...)

I drink Coke Zero every day. Although I originally made the switch because I was noticing weight gain from regular Coke, part of the reason is now that I hate how quickly my teeth feel dirty after consuming sugary drinks. I definitely have a sweet tooth but my tolerance for sweetness has really dropped over time as I get older and I now find regular colas undrinkably sweet and syrupy.

I have found stevia is something I can tolerate, but only in certain situations. For instance, I can drink tea with stevia, I absolutely cannot put stevia in coffee. I like the Zevia sodas, (i'm trying to wean off of them due to other things like the acids and tooth decay, but it's a process) I don't like the sodas with sacharine, and I avoid aspratame like the bloody plague.

Are you sure it was pure Stevia? I had a bad reaction to a product that was marketed as Stevia which I thought was strange because I was okay with Stevia before. Then I looked closer at the ingredient list and it had another sugar alcohol in it that wasn’t advertised on the front of the product. Lots of products claiming to be or have Stevia in it will include other sugar alcohols since they are cheaper to produce than pure Stevia.

When I was clueless about nutrition, and almost overweight, I was eating lots of sugar, as most people do around here. I felt ugly and unnattractive every time I would take a look to my belly. Soon I decided to lose weight, as I did, by no longer eating more than once or twice a day. Later I cut the most sugar possible from my diet, and something happened. I started feeling disgusted by how sweet most desserts are. At that time I was being fed lots of paleo diet bullshit; I would fear sugars and carbs, and believe that saturated fat was the best thing ever. All of that also made me realize that diet culture could better be called diet cult, because it's is very cult-like; only they are right, and everyone else is wrong, the big companies are covering everything, etc. You only realize you are on a cult once you leave it behind, and you know what made me leave this behind? My compassion for animals. Once I started searching for vegetarian nutrition, I got shocked by how much bullshit I was believing in, and didn't want to believe otherwise, therefore I didn't change right away ("they must be wrong" I thought). It look me months thinking about it and a traumatic experience whose effects still last, to burst the bubble I was in. You Abbey, and Unnatural Vegan, both helped me a lot to open my eyes, and I am very thankful. Kudos to veganhealth.org as well. Although I am not completely vegan, I feel like a balanced vegetarian diet (including sugar) saved me from that creepy paleo cult. Regarding sugar, I still can't tolerate most sugary stuff from my country (Brazil), so I make my own, or buy imported desserts from Europe or Asia (American desserts are too sweet too). I hope this comment can help someone.

The gist of that sorry to say, is paleo is a cult but vegetariansim/veganism isn't. Sorry you just swapped one for another. A balanced diet is what has worked for ever. Nothing can change that. If you care about animals, lobby to change the way they are farmed.

Jesse Rogalski. Stevia and Splenda aren't equivalents. Stevia is an herb that can be taken as a tincture or in powdered form. The tincture is from the leaf of the herb and nothing else. The powdered form go from brands that are close to 100% just stevia, and those that are mixtures of the herb and something else.

Dude I do the same thing, if you didn’t know, Sucralose is just a CHO molecule with an added chlorine molecule, so it’s really darn stinking close to being natural. That’s it’s the only artificial “artificial” sweetener besides stevia or monk fruit that I consume
