Experts Discuss Effects of Artificial Sweeteners and Excess Sugar on Metabolic Health
Artificial sweeteners, initially discovered by chance, provide temporary sugar relief but may impair insulin processing and increase appetite over long-term use by altering gut-brain signaling. Excessive sugar intake, especially from sugary drinks and processed foods, can also harm insulin sensitivity, liver health, and metabolic function. Experts emphasize that while reducing sugar is beneficial, reliance on sweeteners or frequent high sugar consumption can negatively affect appetite regulation and metabolic health, highlighting the importance of balanced dietary choices.
