@biolayne: Aspartame spikes insulin? 🚨 New meta-analysis says nope. This new paper (Boxall et al., 2025, Adv Nutr) looked at 100 human experiments on aspartame’s effects on glucose, insulin, and appetite hormones. Here’s the breakdown: What they found: Aspartame doesn’t meaningfully spike glucose or insulin compared to water/placebo or other sweeteners. Compared to sugar → aspartame actually reduced glucose & insulin responses in acute settings. Appetite hormones? Very little effect overall; not enough evidence to claim it alters hunger or intake in a consistent way. Across medium & long-term studies: same pattern. Few effects, mostly neutral, but lots of study variability → low certainty overall. What it means: If you’re replacing sugar with aspartame, it’s much less likely to mess with your glucose or insulin. It’s not a magic health food, but the scary insulin-spike claims? Not supported by data. TL;DR: Aspartame ≠ insulin villain. When it replaces sugar, it looks neutral — not harmful the way some make it out to be. #aspartame #artificialsweeteners #insulin #glucose #dietsoda

Aspartame can alter the gut microbiome by changing the diversity and composition of gut bacteria, which may lead to metabolic issues. It can disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria, potentially increasing the risk of problems like glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and inflammation.
So yes, it is bad for you, and it is bad for blood sugar. Consuming it occasionally shouldn't bother you , but taking it regularly can.

Could you explain the link between sugar and cancer? Doctors say that of course excess sugar is not healthy but even if you stop sugar and carbs entirely, the cancer cells do not starve. And all modern influencers talk about how sugar feeds cancer...

if aspartame or other artificial sweetners significantly spiked insulin, people would literally be dropping dead

As a diabetic I always thought it weird that diet drinks would raise insulin levels. If that were the case I could drink Diet Coke instead of taking insulin.

Are you going to touch on these Tylenol study claims? Love to hear what someone who knows how to read studies thinks.

I train a lot of newer lifters that don’t get the difference between when people juice and when they don’t. It’s like they don’t believe me that it’s not normal for a 17 year old boy to bench 315 at a body weight of 160 who is about 6 feet tall. What would you say to them?
