'Light' sodas hike diabetes risk: study

Artificially-sweetened sodas have been linked to a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes for women than sodas sweetened with ordinary sugar, according to new French research.
"Contrary to conventional thinking, the risk of diabetes is higher with 'light' beverages compared with 'regular' sweetened drinks," the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) said.

The evidence comes from a wide-scale, long-term study, it said in a press release.
More than 66,000 French women volunteers were quizzed about their dietary habits and their health was then monitored over 14 years. The women were middle-aged or older when they joined the study.

Sugar-sweetened sodas have previously been linked with an increased risk of diabetes, but less is known about their artificially-sweetened counterparts.
Researchers led by Francoise Clavel-Chapelon and Guy Fagherazzi dug into the data mine to look at the prevalence of diabetes among women who drank either type of soda, and those who drank only unsweetened fruit juice.

Compared with juice-drinkers, women who drank either of the sodas had a higher incidence of diabetes.
The increased risk was about a third for those who drank up to 359 millilitres per week of either type of soda, and more than double among those who drank up to 603 ml per week.
Drinkers of light sodas had an even higher risk of diabetes compared to those who drank regular ones: 15 per cent higher for consumption of 500 ml per week, and 59 per cent higher for consumption of 1.5 litres per week, Inserm said.

There was no increase in diabetes among women who drank only 100 per cent fruit juice, compared with non-consumers.
The study noted that women who drank "light" sodas tended to drink more of it - 2.8 glasses a week on average compared to 1.6 glasses among women on "regular" sodas.
The findings are published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Its authors admitted the study had limitations.
"Information on beverage consumption was not updated during the follow-up, and dietary habits may have changed over time," the paper said.

"We cannot rule out that factors other than ASB (artificially sweetened beverages)... are responsible for the association with diabetes."
The authors urge further trials to prove a causal link.
The study covered women born between 1925 and 1950, who have been monitored since 1990.
The paper noted previous research which says that aspartame - the most frequently-used artificial sweetener - has a similar effect on blood glucose and insulin levels as the sucrose used in regular sweeteners.

Aspartame has been renamed and is now being marketed as a natural sweetener

(NaturalNews) In response to growing awareness about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, what does the manufacturer of one of the world's most notable artificial sweeteners do? Why, rename it and begin marketing it as natural, of course. This is precisely the strategy of Ajinomoto, maker of aspartame, which hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with its rebranded version of aspartame, called "AminoSweet".

Over 25 years ago, aspartame was first introduced into the European food supply. Today, it is an everyday component of most diet beverages, sugar-free desserts, and chewing gums in countries worldwide. But the tides have been turning as the general public is waking up to the truth about artificial sweeteners like aspartame and the harm they cause to health. The latest aspartame marketing scheme is a desperate effort to indoctrinate the public into accepting the chemical sweetener as natural and safe, despite evidence to the contrary.

Aspartame was an accidental discovery by James Schlatter, a chemist who had been trying to produce an anti-ulcer pharmaceutical drug for G.D. Searle & Company back in 1965. Upon mixing aspartic acid and phenylalanine, two naturally-occurring amino acids, he discovered that the new compound had a sweet taste. The company merely changed its FDA approval application from drug to food additive and, voila, aspartame was born.

G.D. Searle & Company first patented aspartame in 1970. An internal memo released in the same year urged company executives to work on getting the FDA (http://www.naturalnews.com/FDA.html) into the "habit of saying yes" and of encouraging a "subconscious spirit of participation" in getting the chemical approved.

G.D. Searle & Company submitted its first petition to the FDA in 1973 and fought for years to gain FDA approval, submitting its own safety studies that many believed were inadequate and deceptive. Despite numerous objections, including one from its own scientists, the company was able to convince the FDA to approve aspartame (http://www.naturalnews.com/aspartame.html) for commercial use in a few products in 1974, igniting a blaze of controversy.

In 1976, then FDA Commissioner Alexander Schmidt wrote a letter to Sen. Ted Kennedy expressing concern over the "questionable integrity of the basic safety data submitted for aspartame safety". FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill believed that a grand jury should investigate G.D. Searle & Company for lying about the safety of aspartame in its reports and for concealing evidence proving the chemical is unsafe for consumption.

Despite the myriad of evidence gained over the years showing that aspartame is a dangerous toxin, it has remained on the global market with the exception of a few countries that have banned it. In fact, it continued to gain approval for use in new types of food despite evidence showing that it causes neurological brain damage, cancerous tumors, and endocrine disruption, among other things.

The details of aspartame's history are lengthy, but the point remains that the carcinogen was illegitimately approved as a food additive through heavy-handed prodding by a powerful corporation with its own interests in mind. Practically all drugs and food additives are approved by the FDA not because science shows they are safe but because companies essentially lobby the FDA with monetary payoffs and complete the agency's multi-million dollar approval process.

Changing aspartame's name to something that is "appealing and memorable", in Ajinomoto's own words, may hoodwink some but hopefully most will reject this clever marketing tactic as nothing more than a desperate attempt to preserve the company's multi-billion dollar cash cow. Do not be deceived.

I read about a new study that came out a couple days ago where mixing drinks with diet sodas gets you drunk with less alcohol.

It would seem artificial sweeteners affect the efficacy of the liver.

Good for you. It is poison. I was addicted to it. I thing Futurama did it best with Slurm - and the Willy Wonka type episode they did. Where the secret ingredient comes out the butt of bugs. Telling it to our faces.

This is something I have also heard. I believe there was even a DUI case where this was raised. Do not know if it was successful as a defence. The alcohol and diet mixer story has been in the media once or twice.

I only drink sodas on special occasions. Maybe 3 times a month maximum.

Big farm likes to treat the symptoms but not really the underlying cause of a problem because then people get better and big pharm goes broke.

scoopyweb.com: Trying to lose weight? Ditch the diet fizzy drinks! Artificial sweeteners may increase food cravings by tricking the brain into making people feel hungry, study claims (http://www.scoopyweb.com/2021/09/trying-to-lose-weight-ditch-diet-fizzy.html)

An artificial sweetener commonly added to soft drinks may actually be increasing food cravings and make people eat more, a study claims.

Diet drinks are often used by people seeking to lose weight who want a 'healthier' way of satisfying their sweet tooth.

But scientists believe the sweeteners may trick people's brains into feeling hungry, leading them to consume more calories...

The results of the brain imaging experiments showed woman and obese people had increased food cravings after consuming drinks with artificial sweeteners, compared to drinks containing the real sugar.

The study also recorded a decrease in the body's appetite regulating hormones in all participants after they consumed artificial sweeteners, compared to real sugar.

September 28, 2021

Findings In this randomized crossover trial, both obesity and female sex were associated with differential neural food cue responsivity in reward processing areas following ingestion of sucralose (a nonnutritive sweetener) compared with sucrose (nutritive sugar)...

Meaning These findings suggest that female individuals and those with obesity have greater neural reward responses to NNS vs nutritive sugar consumption, highlighting the need to consider individual biological factors that might influence the efficacy of nonnutritive sweeteners...

We found that female participants had greater BOLD response in the orbitofrontal cortex to food vs nonfood cues after consuming sucralose vs sucrose, whereas male participants did not have differential orbitofrontal cortex responses to food vs nonfood cues between those 2 drink conditions. Furthermore, medial frontal cortex response to high-calorie vs low-calorie cues was greater after sucralose vs sucrose ingestion among female participants but not male participants . Correspondingly, both medial frontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex responses to sweet vs nonfood cues were greater after consuming sucralose compared with sucrose in female participants but not male participants.
