Artificial sweeteners are commonplace in foods and beverages; perhaps most notably in diet sodas. Some epidemiology data indicate a higher rate of insulin resistance in those who regularly consume artificially-sweetened sodas, possibly due to an insulinogenic response to beverage consumption, despite the lack of calories. The possibility of an acute insulin spike with artificial sweetener consumption is a common topic of discussion in the lay press but scientific evidence is lacking. We compared the glucose and insulin response to acute ingestion of two different artificially sweetened sodas (containing sucralose or aspartame), compared to “regular” sugar-sweetened soda, and carbonated water in 12 healthy men. Blood samples collected before and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes following ingestion of the beverages were analyzed for glucose and insulin. Both glucose (30 min) and insulin (30 and 60 min) were elevated significantly above baseline following intake of the regular soda; however, values remained very stable for all other conditions across time (p>0.05). Artificially sweetened sodas containing sucralose or aspartame do not result in any acute elevation in blood sugar or insulin following a 20 ounce load. There is no reason to suspect that a higher consumption would result in an elevation in these measures. Any noted insulin resistance linked to high intake of artificial sweeteners is likely a function of the excess calories and processed ingredients often included within artificially-sweetened food and beverage products.
