Given that many people, especially those in certain industries, started a backlash against carbohydrates/sugar and it’s impact on insulin, were artificial sweeteners introduced to the market to trigger a similar insulinogenic response and tell the body to store fat?
People giving up carbs and sugar (both glucose to the body) meant that a huge corner of the market itself was being cut into profit-wise, but the kickback into other industries such as the pharmaceutical and health industry would have also taken a huge hit because less people being insulin resistant and obese usually means less health issues.
Given that we’ve been lied to for years regarding carbs and fat, and told fat is bad for us, and this was even backed by the agricultural industry, we should keep a healthy degree of skepticism regarding anything newly introduced to the market as there may be an ulterior motive.
I for one believe that there is an ulterior motive. If I’m on a zero carb diet, and have a diet made up entirely of adequate protein and fat as my macronutrients, but I drink something with an artificial sweeteners such as Sucralose which triggers an insulinogenic response, then my body is still getting the instruction on a hormonal level to store energy for later, essentially confusing the body into storing fat for later.
I don’t believe this is any coincidence. So, we need to ask the question, ‘What is the real motive for the introduction of artificial sweeteners to the marketplace?’
