"Artificial sweeteners spike blood sugar!" "Splenda and Sweet n' Low can raise your insulin and make you crave sugar!" We hear it all the time: low carb sweeteners can spike your blood sugar just as much or more than sugar. But have you ever tested it yourself? All of our bodies are different. What may spike one person's blood sugar might go unnoticed for another.
In the name of bad amateur science, I set a challenge for myself: test my fasting blood sugar response to a whole bunch of the most popular natural and artificial sugar substitutes. Every day for two weeks, I tested my fasting blood sugar upon waking. I then drank my morning coffee with the equivalent of 4 teaspoons of each sweetener, and took my blood sugar level again after one hour. I've recorded all the details below and share them in detail in this vlog.
