I stopped drinking alcohol a decade ago. When I'm in a social situation I'll drink diet coke. It always makes me laugh when a drunk friend or colleague points out I'm drinking some kind of poison. Sometimes they are even drinking gin and diet tonic! Moderation in anything over-processed and you'll be fine. Vodka is pretty highly processed!!

I used diet soda to transition from sugary soda to water/tea. It took a few months for my taste buds to adapt. I wasn't dieting, but I did have some weight to lose. Lost 10 pounds following the switch to diet soda and another 10 pounds with water/tea. I felt less hungry between meals when I swapped the diet soda for water -- and the drop in snack consumption showed up in my grocery shopping. Anecdote, I know. But I wonder if the affect of artificial sweeteners on appetite has be studied.

Gil, you're providing a great service. My experience with sweeteners is: In coffee I used Splenda powder but it contains maltodextrin (0 calories) that spikes blood sugar to mimic sugar. I now use liquid Splenda that just contains sucralose! I use Stevia/Erythritol in cold drinks. Nutra-Sweet and its generics are the biggest problem, a small dose causes a gritty sensation in the joints of my feet, a large dose causes gout like symptoms in my feet that can take one to two weeks to subside. Obviously I avoid this trigger!!

I’ve listened to every video you’ve ever made and finally I disagree with a scientific point you said. We have plenty of studies showing that industry sponsored or affiliated researchers are more like to find and report favorable results. That industries suppress negative results. And that study designs are tailored to help increase likelihood of favorable results. So to ignore industry funding and “only look at the methods” also ignores the invisible biases we know are present but can’t see in the methods. Rather, being aware of industry support should make us more skeptical of the data. Like you said we should still look at it and consider the methods and results. But what matters most is how that fits with all other available evidence.

@@dove72 you are luckily wrong, sugar cane is pressed to release the juice, then filtrated, clarified and then evaporated to make syrup, then that syrup is cooked for a long time losing a lot of nutrients, then it's centrifugated and dried, making it raw sugar, then to make white sugar it needs to be cooked again, filtrated and crystallized to have sugar crystals, which makes it a 9 step process.

I also drink unsweetened loose leaf pue-rh tea (hot only, hate iced). I just really like the flavor, and I buy a pistachio chai which is aaaaamazing. I do not add milk (or anything really), just water. Those two together let me quit all soda for 10 years now.

I'm wondering if the sodas themselves could produce adverse effects rather than their sweeteners. For me it's hard to believe that driking all that highly processed liquid would not have any effect (I'm mostly concerned about the kidneys, as far as I know, kidneys work better with plain water). Personally, I have seen 3 adverse effects of diet sodas (mostly psychological): 1. To me it makes me crave salty and fried snacks (mostly chips), it's some kind of habit to eat that stuff with soda. 2. The taste scent tend to adjust to certain sweetness expectation, after being a lot of time without tasting sweet, it's easy to cloy with any desert. However the reverse is true as well. Being constatly tasting sweet(as far as I know) can cause des-sensitivity to sweet and expect things to be sweeter in general. 3. The easiest to understand downside of soda is that it makes you fat. If you remove that from the equation, it's easy to undermine any possible negative effects and just end drinking too much.

Great video as always Gil. I came to a similar conclusion while writing an article for my website. I'll have to add the newest diabetes care study to it, but I agree it appears non-nutritive sweeteners are generally safe and are unlikely to alter the gut microbiome when consumed in an appropriate amount. For those abusing NNS, it may be different so I'd like to see a study in people eventually looking at a dose response to see if very high levels lead to microbiome changes.

I still drink a pretty good amount of water throughout the day in addition but I definitely have a higher use of the non-nutritive sweeteners. I don't have exact research stating what an "appropriate" amount is but if a client asked me I'd say as long as you're still having plain water often in each day and not only drinking liquids sweetened with non-nutritive sweeteners then that's probably a good place to be.

First thing that comes to mind when reading about artificial sweeteners is did they control for insulin resistance, or did they put insulin resistant people into a separate group. My hypothesis is that if there is a predisposition for insulin resistance, the numbers between sweeteners and water will come out differently than when there is not. And maybe the purpose is important. Although markers improve, int he Diabetes Jorunal 2022 Study, although values improve, prevalence of obesity is higher with sweeteners vs. water. The restriction that NNS vs. water are compared under caloric restriction are also significant (as there will be a total body weight change under caloric restriction, particularly when sweeteners are used as *additional* caloric restriction). But then it would be interesting to see if there is an effect on base metabolic rate and body composition. Also, the amount of sugars in the rest of the diet. While substituting some of the sugar to prevent an insulin spike, it would be interesting to see the effect on insulin resistance in an otherwise very low carb diet, particularly in prediabetic people. Unfortunately, a lot of studies exclude diabetic people. Measuring 2 hour post-prandial glucose when using sweeteners is also "sweet". No sugar in, no sugar in blood. Ok. Changes in serum insulin when using sweeteners vs. water under different types of diets would be more interesting. Also 4 week trials which appear frequent, are way too short. If somebody enters such a trial, their level of activity may go up (the reverse causality you described) and short term activity changes may have stronger effects on the observed variables. The 2022 Mexican study that appears pretty well controlled noticed an increase in insulin spike under sucralose.

Some people claim a link between artificial sweeteners like aspartame and neurological dysfunction, so I was wondering about that. My mom drank large diet sodas daily. She developed bipolar late in life, committing suicide in her 50s. She was not obese or diabetic (if that matters) and to my knowledge, mental disease does not run in her family. My assumption is that there is no link, but it is a nagging question because of her heavy consumption. I realize that it’s a single anecdote and it would be a huge stretch to suspect aspartame as a contributing factor.

It could be malnutrition was a part of the problem. If you've ever watched a show called freaky eaters, you can find some episodes on KZbin and has UK and US versions some people might have as an example heaps of diet sodas and what they did eat leaves them malnourished. So I would say if your mum was malnourished and a part of that behaviour was the diet soda then indirectly it's linked. I got to the point of being malnourished alcoholic, at my bottom I suppose when my brain not really working properly and never could sleep but always tired I didn't get suicidal but did get to the point of not caring if I died. My suspicion is the not sleeping was my body not allowing sleep because I needed nourishment. Hope you are doing fine and I think you shouldn't think too much if it causes you mental stress.

The hormonal changes can totally mess you up, and society thinks it's funny, or that you're a Karen, stuff like that, while for some women it can give enormous mood swings (bi-polar?) and physical discomfort (those hot flushes, when severe, can make you temporary unable to do stuff you need to do, or sleep, you just have to get rid of the heath). People can be in this state for as long as 10 years, and in the beginning they don't even know they're in their menopause. Ofcourse I could be wrong, but I'm telling this in case you have more women in your family. Changing diet or habits or taking supplements can make it somewhat easier, and knowing this will be over one day, certainly does.

I'd like to hear about the pros and cons of allulose, which has gotten a lot of good buzz recently. Perhaps it hasn't been on the scientific radar for long enough to have studies done on its effects. I saw one source claim that allulose carries other sugars with it when it leaves the body. I just found someone claim that, although allulose is a naturally occurring sugar in figs, beets, etc., it's so rare that it can't be produced in commercially viable amounts, so some manufacturers make it from corn by changing the chemical composition. Does that process negate the potential benefits?

Typically they will show a comparison between a certain saturated fat versus something else that’s even less healthy and use that to claim that the saturated fat in question is actually healthy when it’s not.

Great video! I would just like to add that about a month after this video's release, there was another RCT published in Cell, testing the effects of several sweeteners on the microbiome and glucose metabolism and found some detrimental effects (in particular, saccharin and sucralose). I think youtube filters my comment out if I add a link, so the name is "Personalized microbiome-driven effects of non-nutritive sweeteners on human glucose tolerance"

Aspartame. In the 90s I drank diet soda 1 or 2 cans a day) with Aspartame in it. I always had to pee. Every 15 minutes and would think I had a uti, go to Dr. No uti. I happened to be sick for a week and did not drink any soda. I realized to my surprise, heyyyy..no more constant peeing. I never went back to the soda and never had that problem again.

One of the big problems I have with your videos is that you focus on certain aspects of something, but you don't necessarily specify it in your title and there are things you don't cover that, unfortunately, I'm hoping to see info on. That said, you do a great job. I've recently learned that SOME sweeteners can cause a blood sugar spike, such as sorbitol, xylitol, and maltodextrin. These are significant enough that I have blood sugar crashes that, while not as bad as sugar, are still a problem. AFAIK, erythritol, sucralose, stevia, and monk's fruit have little to no impact, but do you have a video on this aspect for diabetics, people with metabolic disorder, non-alcohol liver disease and people who are sugar sensitive (me)?

I've been wondering about the metabolic (and gut microbiome) interaction with regular food. Some of the arguments seem to make sense if you just drank a can in the middle of the morning or something, where it can send signals to your system that are unsupported by the contents. But what if you drink it with a burrito?

Just as important as the funding is the quality of the study. How do we evaluate the quality? If you're not in the field, you can't. In fact, it's the job of the peer reviewers to evaluate and filter out bad quality papers. Good reviewers are usually found in famed/prestigious journals. So, just because a study was published it doesn't mean anything. If you look hard enough you can always find a journal that will accept your paper. To the point: citing a paper doesn't mean anything. Need to also cite the publishing source (as a proxy for quality of the study).

Is Allulose an "artificial sweetener"? It is naturally occurring, so is it artificial? Or maybe it's considered artificial because it is sometimes artificially created? Also, is it safe or does it fall under the same recommendations by you as the other artificial sweeteners?

Don't waste your time with the keto diet, the only reason people lose weight on it is because they are cutting out an entire food group ( carbs) so they are eating less calories,. In my opinion, you should stick to a balanced diet of vegetables, lean meat and legumes, and some carbs like sweet potatoes or brown rice, and a lot of leafy greens. Cut out sugar and fried foods as well as foods made with white flour, no processed meat and cut back on fats except for a little olive oil. Drink only coffee (if you like it) and water, and eat five or six small meals throughout the day instead of three big meals. This is a diet that will not only help you lose weight, but it will also improve your overall health. Exercise for forty five minutes, four or five times a week of cardio and strength training. And be patient.!Don't buy into the fad diets, they are just money making schemes. Oh yeah, and don't forget to eat breakfast. Oatmeal, eggs, Greek yogurt fruit are my favorite. And no fruit juice, they are all sugar. Good luck.
