    So do SGLT 1 inhibitors reduce learned sucrose seeking? For example, “Dual SGLT1/s Inhibitors: Sotagliflozin (Inpefa) is a dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor approved by the FDA to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for heart failure in adults with T2DM, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors (Facts and Comparisons, 2024a). Sotagliflozin had… been studied as an adjunctive therapy in T1DM. While phase III trials showed an improvement in A1C tests after 24 weeks, the rate of DKA was higher in the sotagliflozin group compared to placebo and therefore is not recommended as a treatment for T1DM (Weinstock, 2024).” From: SGLT2 and SGLT1: What's the Difference?

    I have high insulin. Sucrose and glucose stimulate release of insulin. I also believe that certain zero-calorie sweeteners also stimulate release of excess insulin. Does this research inform us as to which other sweeteners do or do not stimulate insulin release? I want to avoid anything that releases extra insulin -- so is that all sweeteners, or only sweeteners that behave a certain way under Dr. Bohorquez's research?

    • @diablominero
      @diablominero 21 годину тому

      In animals that get an insulin response to non-sugar sweeteners, they can get dangerous hypoglycemia after eating a lot of those sweeteners. So for example, that's how xylitol is poisonous to dogs. Have you ever noticed how humans can drink a bucket of diet soda on an empty stomach and not get symptoms of hypoglycemia? That's because our insulin response only reacts to sugar.

    Super cool technique! This got me wondering if the speed with which ingested sweet molecules show up in the duodenum, and/or the length of time they stick around, plays a role in preference. Quick arrival in the duodenum seems like it would reinforce sweet-seeking behavior, since the link between taste on tongue and response in body would be very clear. I wonder if lingering in the duodenum would either confuse the body’s ability to make clear associations, or lead to receptor downregulation? There’s a paper that looks at gastric emptying rate and small bowel water retention rate for water vs grapefruit juice vs glucose solution vs fructose solution. The rates seem to differ in different ways depending on the source of the sweetness. Anyway, thanks for bringing this research to us and enlivening it with your communication skills!

For me, if I measure my glucose I see the difference (Spike or no spike). And the spike comes down quickly because Insulin was released. Whereas I assume there is not the same insulin response for the Splenda because I don't see a DROP in my glucose, which I am sure would happen [if they were the same]).

    Splenda and sucralose are not the same thing; Splenda is at least half maltodextrin (it is the first ingredient listed on the bag), which is higher on the glycemic index than sugar. Splenda has spent so much money with the diabetes association and done such an amazing job with marketing that everyone uses the terms interchangeably, including scientist and researchers. This makes it difficult for me to trust any research or products using sucralose. I'll typically avoid sucralose in most products for that reason, unless products that I trust specifically state that they DON'T use Splenda.

      Splenda is the brand name, often based on sucralose. They have other products too.

  • @alysiaandjohnglass
    @alysiaandjohnglass День тому

    If they used Splenda it’s more maltodextrin than sucralose in powdered form. (Splenda contains maltodextrin, a digestible sweetener that's usually combined with 95% dextrose (D-glucose) and a small amount of sucralose. Maltodextrin and dextrose are carbohydrates that contribute to Splenda's calorie content of 3.36 calories per gram. )

      I don't agree. That's only the powdered form. I am quite sensitive to maltodextrin. So I opt for the liquid form. Hopefully, to keep the science clien, they used the liquid form...

      Technically Splenda is the brand name. Their products are historically based on sucralose, although they have non-sucralose products as well: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenda

      @@YaYippieYeah Resistant maltodextrin is often marketed as a healthy fiber, but there’s a lot of hype. Despite claims, it’s still derived from starch and can affect blood sugar levels. The digestive benefits touted aren’t significantly different from other fibers, and it still contains calories. Plus, it’s highly processed, which might not appeal to those seeking natural foods. So, while it has some benefits, it’s not as miraculous as it’s made out to be.

    Dr Bernstein states that sucralose is safe as long as it doesn’t have dextrose or maltodextrin. I found it and use it. No spike.

    When people start saying that eating sweeteners increases insulin secretion just do this. Get a dozen sweetener tablets, put them in a pint of water and drink it. See what happens. I'll tell you..... nothing. You compare that to what happens if you had 12 spoonfuls of sugar. Donesn't it enter anyone's head that if you had such a insulin response to sweeteners without the glucose going into your system, you would have a hypoglycaemic crisis!!! Total rubbish
