Artificial sugars aren’t blood sugar safeArtificial sweeteners may not be as metabolically “neutral” as we once thought. A new review and meta-analysis looked at how non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) like aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, and erythritol, and their effects on cardiometabolic health.¹
The key findings:
- Higher NNS intake was linked to higher risk of type 2 diabetes and some cardiovascular outcomes in large observational studies.
- Clinical trials found potential short-term effects on blood sugar regulation, including increases in fasting insulin, HbA1c, and glucose responses.
- The gut microbiome may play a role: Researchers found NNS can alter gut bacteria, which may influence how the body manages glucose.
“Zero calories” doesn’t necessarily mean “no biological effects.”
While more research is needed to understand their long-term effects, these findings suggest it’s worth taking a closer look at how frequently we rely on sweeteners, and whether “sugar-free” always aligns with metabolic health.
