Does aspartame increase insulin levels?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO! The blood glucose effect is statistically INSIGNIFICANT!! This is a myth. This concerned me as I am trying to lose weight and several studies have been done, however the one below I feel is the clearest.

Twelve normal subjects and 10 subjects with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were given, in random order at intervals of greater than or equal to 1 wk, three drinks of the same beverage: one unsweetened, one sweetened with 400 mg aspartame, and one sweetened with 135 mg saccharin. The amount of sweetener approximated that in 1 L of sugar-free soft drink. Plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon were measured for 3 h after ingestion of the test beverage. Plasma glucose declined slightly throughout the test period, probably due to fasting, with no differences between the three treatments. Neither sweetener affected peak insulin levels in subjects with or without diabetes. Analysis of area under the curve showed that mean insulin levels were statistically significantly higher after aspartame than after saccharin or unsweetened beverage in normal subjects only, but the magnitude of the difference was small and unlikely to be of physiological importance in the absence of differences in glucose levels. Furthermore, the differences could largely be accounted for by a decrease in insulin values after both unsweetened beverage and saccharin, with no change from baseline after aspartame. Glucagon levels showed time-to-time variation but no overall differences. We conclude that ingestion of aspartame- or saccharin-sweetened beverages by fasting subjects, with or without diabetes, did not affect blood glucose homeostasis.

What are the disadvantages of aspartame?

Asked by Wiki User

There are conflicting stories about Aspartame and it's effects on the body. Some researchers claim it can cause neurological(brain -central nervous system) problems but there has never been any scientific proof to absolutely support these claims. AS with anything the body takes in,,,,,moderation. It was found when the swordfish - mercury scare started that a person would need to eat several pounds of it for months for any real significant trace would be found. It is always the safest to be careful and that is up to the consumer. I use "Nutra Sweet" all of the time. 4 or 5 packets a day and have for years...I have no problems.

Does lite beer contain aspartame?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the answer I am getting is yes there is in some. But all breweries, with the exception of a few, do not disclose that information on their websites, nor do they advertise it. I do think it is a violation of federal law to not put the Phenylketonurics warning on something that contains phenylalanine as it can be harmful or fatal to Phenylketonurics. So I guess look at the side of the bottle and if you see the familiar warning about phenylalanine then dont drink it. ASPARTAME KILLS!!!!

Where did the world enviromental conference on aspartame take place?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nowhere, there was no world environmental conference on aspartame. This appears to be related to the internet rumor regarding Nancy Markle, a pseudonym for an unidentified emailer. It appears to primarily have been misquoted from a presentation made by anti-aspartame activist Betty Martini who spoke at the "World Environmental Conference" at Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, North Carolina in November of 1995.

The claims made in that presentation have been largely debunked by both the Senior Medical Advisor for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, Dr. David Squillacote, MD, and the American Diabetes Association.

The internet is currently so clogged with the proliferation of this particular Conspiracy Theory, that further research online will yield little other than rampant speculation and little fact.
