By: SugarMD
In this informative video about artificial sweeteners, Endocrinologist Dr. Ahmet Ergin dives deep into the effects these products can have on your blood sugar and overall health. Despite their zero-calorie appeal, he explains that some artificial sweeteners can actually spike your blood sugar. A variety of sweeteners are discussed including Aspartame, Saccharine, Acesulfame K, Sucralose and Stevia, detailing how each of these sweeteners works, their sweetness compared to sugar, and their associated health and metabolic effects. He also looks into the controversy around sweeteners like Aspartame and Saccharine, debunking cancer-causing myths and raising questions about what is considered a moderate intake of these sweeteners.
Dr. Ergin also talks about natural sweeteners, highlighting that most shelf-products labeled as Stevia do not contain much of the natural leaf but are made from a highly refined stevia leaf extract called Rebaudioside, often combined with other sweeteners. His aim is to allow viewers, particularly diabetics, to make informed choices when it comes to sugar substitutes. Whether you're diabetic or simply health-conscious, this video provides useful insights into the world of artificial sweeteners and their impact on our health.
