eli5: why are artificial sugars bad for my blood sugar, when they aren’t actually glucose or fructose?
In: 35
Artificial sweeteners *aren’t* bad for your blood sugar. Extensive research has repeatedly shown that artificial sweeteners don’t increase your blood sugar and there’s no such thing as “tricking” your body.
A few small studies have claimed that artificial sweeteners have some other effects on your body, but none have been proven. All available proof shows that they’re perfectly fine.
