Re: Artificial Sweetners From: Belle (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 30 Mar 2000 10:46:30 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Belle: "Re: I was on rezulin" Previous message: Belle: "Re: OCP and PCOS" In reply to: Lissa: "Artificial Sweetners" I do not have an article for you. This was very much in the news in December but all of my links have expired (unless I want to pay for back issues). I have worked with a professor who was doing research on this a few years ago but the results have been the same regardless of the source. People who use artificial sweeteners gain more weight than those who do not. This is because your body sences something sweet and the body begins to prepare for it. Insulin is released and it binds all of the blood glucose. When your body sences a reduction in glucose, you have a false sence of hunger. I do not know about the new one "Splenda", it claims that it does not cause a glucose rise (well, none of them do!), Some claim that it does not create an insulin rise. I do not know if this is true or not. I do not trust research preformed by the company who stands to make money from the results (remember how many studies concluded no link between smoking and everything...cancer, addiction, etc.) I am waiting for independant studies to come out. It would be much better for you to limit your sugar intake. Cut back on soda pop, limit your sweets, etc. If you do need something sweet, have a little sugar. It has never had a direct link with any sort of cancer or neurological damage. :-) At Wed, 29 Mar 2000, Lissa wrote: > >Hi-I am mainly a lurker but am looking for an answer.
