Interesting
That is a major problem with artificial sweeteners and agave. Because of the sweet taste, the body prepares itself to handle the carbs coming down the gut, and produces Insulin, but then, surprise, surprise, NO CARBS to convert to cell energy. All that excess insulin is stuck in the blood stream.


Do you have a link to any definitive studies that prove this?

The MD who I think is an expert in the field at Pritikin and is a friend of mine recommends artificial sweeteners and I believe he thinks much of these claims are false.

Thanks

You say,

Agave also has a sweet taste which triggers a “cephalic response”, producing excess insulin, which can eventually lead to Insulin Resistance,

However, there is no basis in fact to support that statement... if you're referring to a "response" to a sweet taste which results in the production of insulin, presuming it actually occurs, then you're talking about a classical conditioning response... classical conditioning is a learned response, it's not an automatic physiological response, that is if it even actually occurs... and any learned response eventually extinguishes itself as the link to the introduced variable begin to fade over time... this is also indisputable...

Please forgive my ignorance, but what significance does the excess insulin into the bloodstream cause??

I use splenda in coffee and tea.

Thanks

Interesting discussion on health.
