The Latest on Artificial Sweeteners: #Sucralose Good for the Lean, Bad for the Obese? #Acesulfame-K, the Healthier Alternative? As If! Plus: There's All Wrong w/ the Research

Time to stop discriminating against low-calorie (#LCS) or artificial sweeteners as a category, time to start considering the molecule and subject-dependence of these substances and to get the research back on track. Not sure if this article will achieve the latter but if you  realize that generalizations are misplaced when it comes to alleged sugar-alternatives are unwarranted that would be an educational success worth celebrating for the SuppVersity , as well. Still on schedule! As promised last week, I will continue to do my very best to supply you with at least one in-depth exercise, nutrition, and supplementation article per week again. Worked out last week, worked out this week, will work out next week - promise ;-) -- With that being said, you may look forward to a 2020 research update on the use(fulness) of artificial sweeteners that will hopefully add some color to your perspective on 'artificial sweeteners' as a category and the vast, in many cases dubitable re-sea...

Can You Snort Caffeine? Is Shrimp Oil the Next Big Thing? Is Sweetener Acesulfame-K an AGE Reducing Superfood?

Coke Zero (31mg), Diet Coke (30mg), Diet Pepsi Jazz (21mg), Pepsi One (30mg), Diet Mountain Dew (18mg) and Sprite Zero (34mg) are your most prominent beverages that are sweetened with acesulfame-K (acesulfame-K content in mg per 12-ounce = 355ml can of soda). Today's installment of the  Short News  will answer questions of earth-shattering importance. I mean, who wouldn't want to know if you can snort caffeine (and survive), can add shrimp oil to your list of goto-supplements and should start 'de-sugaring' your arteries with acesulfame-K, today?

Sweeteners in the Real World: 12% Increase in GLP-1 and Non-Significant Effects on Insulin W/ Diet Soda From Well-Known Brands and Seltzer + NNS Control - Implications?

Drinking diet soda now and then is certainly not going to harm you. Everyone knows that "[n]on-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), especially in form of diet soda, have been linked to metabolic derangements (e.g. obesity and diabetes) in epidemiologic studies" (Sylvetsky. 2016). What only SuppVersity  readers know is that experimental evidence to prove that the associations between obesity and artificial sweetener consumption from epidemiological studies is not the result of reverse causation, i.e. obese / overweight individuals gravitating towards the consumption of non-nutritively sweetened drinks in the false belief that this alone would help them to lose weight does not exist.
