How Artificial Sweeteners Affect Your Body Different Than Sugar

2012 Hank is my favorite. ❤😂 Who am I kidding? All Hanks are my favorite.

[@moonypie5579]

If I only saw this 3 years ago when I was working in a lab studying artificial sweeteners😂 it was a multi variable experiment where we gave the rats either sugar water, saccharin sweetened water or regular water (control). Within those groups there were high fat/ low fat diet groups. From what I remember, the rats that got the saccharin sweetened water were noticeably bigger at the end before uh... “sacrificing” them. There’s a reason I left the lab 😂 learned how difficult holding a 1kg rat was 🙄

[@simarkarmani4034]

Why is holding a 1 kg rat difficult? It's only 1 kilogram! Maybe it has something to do with the rat crawling on your hand?

[@BrieyaSilverweb]

Thank you so much for this. I've hit fifty, and my usual practice of maintaining my sugar intake hit a new snafu. It is good to know this information. Last month, I was telling my doctor the substitutes were increasing my sugar cravings. Now this video has explained this is true, confirming I'm not crazy, I can tackle and handle my sugar demands far better. Thank you again!

hey! i know this video is older but I've recently been told about how we still have an insulin response when using SOME artificial sweeteners. could you do a video on that and the repercussions of insulin in the bloodstream when there is no sugar to be dealt with?

[@Dovidbre]

Wow 4 years time and no comment

[@Софија-крафт]

​@@Dovidbretrue

[@amazinggrapes3045]

Sucralose is said to be especially bad for that. Probably because it is technically a sugar ("ose"), we just don't have the enzyme to digest it

[@user-zw5jj2uf1p]

NoLabCoatRequired has a good video about that. Basically the evidence is mixed, and it depends on the presentation of the food.

[@fsckool6894]

i think it's better to eat natural sugar in controlled amounts atleast our bodies have been used to it for thousands of years

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Dear Hank, you keep mentioning that fructose and glucose are chemically very similar. However in the context of metabolism, fructose and glucose are very different. Glucose is metabolised primarily with insulin , either into storage (fat) or glycogen for immediate use. However fructose can't. It is metabolised primarily by the liver, creating various metabolic byproducts. However, because fructose is so chemically similar to glucose, it can gum up the insulin pathways, causing the pancreas to work harder producing more insulin to metabolise the same amount of blood sugar load. In this way, both sucrose and HFCS are much harder on the liver and pancreas than rice, pasta or glucose syrup are, calorie for calorie . Can you please do a video about this metabolic difference? ( my husband and I are co-patreons)

They have and like always people think if something is artificial, its bad even if its the chemical equivalent...

[@taijusakai7276]

Artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors are all Bad. Better to choose Organic Foods.

[@TheBoundFenrir]

You missed the episode that mentioned the difference between artificial and natural flavors, didn't you? (Hint: It has nothing to do with the chemical, and everything to do with how we got it. If I take a beaker of Chemical A and a beaker of Chemical B, and mix them and they react, forming exactly 2 beakers' worth of Chemical C, then Chemical C is artificial. If, instead, I genetically engineer bacteria to produce Chemical C when fed Chemicals D, E, and F, then Chemical C is natural. So which would you rather have? The carefully measured and produced artificial one? or the messy bacteria-rich [Until filtered or, more likely, treated] natural version? )

@Uncle Joe Believe me, we could learn a lot from you Aussies, up here in the U.S. If only we could get the egos under control of the people who are too... whatever it is.... to admit that our systems suck and that some (most, really) of our cousins across the globe have found great success in their systems. You'd think that if a country really wanted to be top-notch, it'd take all the best ideas from around the world and implement them at home. Maybe we (the United States) need to hit rock bottom before enough people are willing to admit that there are better ways to achieve a higher quality of life. I'll be long dead by then (before people are willing to admit, not before we hit rock bottom, sadly), but hopefully my grandchildren might have a chance.

I have a really dangerous allergic reaction to Stevia, and it's in no way labelled on products where I live because... Well, I have no idea. If you have Hay Fever or are just prone to allergies, avoid Stevia until you're certain it doesn't affect you. Also, if you live in Ireland, don't drink Coca-Cola Life or Sprite. Sprite gave me blisters around my mouth for over two weeks, and the replacement of sugar in it with Stevia wasn't even shown on the front of the bottle or in the allergy information.

Fun fact. When McDonalds first arrived in Australia they did really poorly. Turns out we didn't like the sweetness of the hamburger buns.

Why do humans get awkward in pauses in conversation?

[@JossCade]

The same reason "filler" words, such as "but", "um", "like", etc, exist, it gives us time to put our thoughts together so we can continue a conversation. However "awkward silences" take it a step further. The conversation has come to a natural stop, but we've been socialised to think that if we aren't talking it's wierd and we have to keep talking, so the "awkward silence" gets longer because both parties feel uncomfortable and are desperately focusing on both finding something to talk about, and how awkward them not talking is.

[@jeremiahlakstins1309]
