Artificial Sweeteners, and their role (roll) in fat deposition.

Artificial Sweeteners, and their role (roll) in fat deposition. I, my blog, have been silent too long. But this is something we all need to know. You are encouraged to link, reprint on your blog, in short, spread this word as widely as you can. It concerns us all. There have been two studies, one of which I will print below, the other I have been unable to find again. http://BBW Tonight.com American Psychological Association (2008, February 11). Artificial Sweeteners Linked To Weight Gain. ScienceDaily. Retrieved October 12, 2008, from http://BBW Tonight.com /releases/2008/02/080210183902.htm But the core of it is that rats, fed either a yogurt sweetened with sugars, or fed a yogurt sweetened with artificial sweeteners, had a surprising result. The rats that consumed the low cal artificially sweetened yogurt gained more weight than those that ate the sugared yogurt. 9 calories gained weight. 15 calories did not. Why? Metabolisms were recorded and tested for and here is where it gets interesting. The rats eating the high cal sugar,,, their metabolism 'revved up'. The low cal rats did not. The reasons. We, and the rats, have programing to aid our digestion. When sweet is recognized by the tongue, a chain of hormones and enzymes, a cascade of processes begins. Saliva and the enzymes that begin digestion immediately. Metabolism revs anticipating sugar in the blood stream. Stomach acids and intestinal enzymes, fats from the liver, insulin from the pancreas,,, all ,, ALL step in to handle the new energy, food, coming on board. BUT, if no sugar, no energy, consistently accompanies the sweet taste, the brain and the body adapt. Sweet no longer means sugar, sweet shall be ignored. So apparently two things result TWO THINGS. A. The body ignores sweet, and hence sugar, when it is tasted in the mouth. The body does not increase metabolism, or begin the full chain of digestion processes. So when it is sugar, it is not burned or handled as MILLIONS of years of evolution has taught the organism to respond. Too high blood sugar and stored as fat. AND B. The body does not count those calories as sufficient, you are still hungry. My conclusions are,,, and I emphasize MY CONCLUSIONS, and my hypothesis that someone needs to test. I have not the facilities to pursue this. But of statistics I know a bit. The ever increasing use of all artificial sweeteners is an accelerating upward curve beginning in the 1950's. The upward curve of adult onset diabetes, absolutely unexplained to date, nearly exactly matches this curve. The ever increasing average body weight of Americans as recorded by the FAA (for plane loading), by the US Coast Guard (the certification of vessel capacities), and by all of our anecdotal experience, (check with Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig) also EXACTLY MATCHES this upward curve. As little as one diet soda per week is enough to retrain your brain. Diet soda may be the worst of the bunch, lots of sweet and zero calories. STOP USING. Heavy and want to lose weight? Eat less, move more, and UTTERLY stop using artificially sweetened anything. By my own experience, it will take 6 months of ZERO consumption of artificial sweeteners for the body to shift back. I am beginning to lose weight, stubborn weight, and doing nothing other than what I have ever done. Just no artificial sweeteners. For decades the debate has raged over the safety of the various chemicals. Some truly are quite safe, all have passed rigid scrutiny and approvals. But what none of us looked for, or suspected, was the reprogramming of our own bodies, by our own internal processes. We missed the simple, because we looked for the complex. Here on this site, look at European men and women, look at American men and women. I will bet you the European and Asians use proportionally less artificial sweeteners and weight proportionally less. And a few years after they match our consumption they will look like us. Or better yet, lets look like them as they are now. Time will tell about the suppositions of adult onset diabetes the rest is fact. Dean |

Dean, what are we as diabetics supposed to do? We aren't supposed to have much sugar. Any suggestions? "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."

Dean, I linked this with my blog so more people could read it. Hope you don't mind. Maddy (guess I should have asked first) "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."

. Likewise... I'd've presently stopped by here on my own if not for ‘Nuffs pimp, but Gawd knows when! To the best of my knowledge, sweetener extracted from the Stevia plant doesn't initiate the insulin-response you wrote about... (Good to see you're still amongst us! ) . . Been a while since they last let me out into polite society. Resurfacing, catching a breath, & catching up.  And while I got my Broad-Brimmed Pimping Hat on, could I cajole all of y'all to Comment on, Alone In A Cloud? It's probably the best thing that I've written! Lately... .
