Does Sucralose Cause Insulin Spikes?

from The Science of Sports Performance · host Ben Pressler

Today's episode is one that I had intended to be a YouTube special where I discussed the results of a miniature nutrition study that I conducted on myself to determine whether the artificial sweetener sucralose causes your body to release insulin upon ingestion. The results surprised me! Because of the graphs and figures that I show, listening to this episode on YouTube will be the best for your fully understanding the material, however I am also going to upload it to my podcast platforms because it will still be an informational bonus episode when listening "audio-only." 2:06 Why did I do this study on myself? 3:50 Are insulin spikes harmful to human health? 7:44 What are the objectives of this study? 9:05 What are the methods used in this study? 13:47 What exactly is sucralose? 16:55 What were the results of this study? 21:46 Were the results of this study significant? 24:13 What conclusions can we draw from this study? 26:45 What are the limitations to this study? 28:39 The difference of impact on BGL of sucrose vs. sucralose. 31:21 A peer-reviewed article asking the same question as my personal study. 36:32 My final thoughts.
