insulin, Heart Risks and artificial sweetener

Artificial sweetener may increase heart disease risk by triggering insulin surges
A common artificial sweetener may trigger insulin spikes that lead to the build up of fatty plaques in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, a new study in mice indicates.
Sugar-Free Isn’t Risk-Free: How Aspartame Triggers Insulin Spikes and Heart Risks
Artificial sweeteners are everywhere, marketed as a healthier alternative to sugar, but new research suggests they may not be so harmless. A team of scientists discovered that aspartame, a common sugar substitute,
Common artificial sweetener can trigger dangerous insulin spikes
Artificial sweeteners have been promoted as a guilt-free way to indulge our sweet tooth and are in many popular foods, such as zero-sugar ice cream, and "diet" drinks. But new research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism,
Common artificial sweeteners linked to higher risk of heart disease
Artificial sweeteners like aspartame have long been promoted as a healthier alternative to sugar, allowing people to enjoy sweet treats without the extra calories. However, a new study published in Cell Metabolism suggests that aspartame may have unexpected effects on heart health.
Popular artificial sweetener can increase risk of heart attack, stroke: new study
Not all artificial sweeteners are created equal. “One of my students was sipping on this sugar-free drink, and I said, ‘Why don’t you look into that?’” recalled senior study author Yihai Cao, who studies chronic diseases related to blood vessel disorders at the Karolinska Institute.
