“Here we demonstrate that consumption of commonly used NAS formulations drives the development of glucose intolerance through induction of compositional and functional alterations to the intestinal microbiota.”
Part 1: Gut Bacteria Mediate Artificial Sweetener-Induced Blood Sugar Disturbances
The researchers administered commercially available formulations of saccharin (Sweet’ N Low), sucralose (Splenda) or aspartame (Equal) in the drinking water of 10-week old mice. The control group received I either glucose or sucrose. After 11 weeks, the three artificial sweetener fed groups developed “marked glucose intolerance,” with saccharin having the most deleterious effects followed by sucralose and aspartame.
