"The Truth About Non-Sugar Sweeteners and Your Appetite"

A recent study suggests that replacing sugar with sweeteners like stevia does not increase appetite levels, contrary to previous lower-quality studies. The research, conducted by the SWEET consortium, involved 53 healthy adults and found no difference in appetite levels between those who consumed sugar and those who consumed sweeteners. Additionally, participants who consumed sweeteners had lower insulin responses, and stevia showed a significant reduction in blood sugar response compared to sugar. While this study provides valuable insights, more research is needed to confirm these findings and their long-term health impact.
