Remove artificial sweeteners from your diet

I had almost entirely cut out energy drinks. This is motivation to remove them completely.

I guess that as a long-time type 1 diabetic I should use fructose instead of my usual 25% sucralose solution. Because fructose won’t spike my blood glucose! It will probably go entirely to triglycerides but clearly those are much better for me than a few milligrams a day of sucralose…

Dr. Pooh Bear might well suggest that I eat honey.

Thomas Delaur talks about this in his sweetners video especially asulfame potassium or however its spelled

asceuflame potassium, immediate headache after drinking anything with it.

Black coffee with sucralose during intermittent fasting also no sugar coke.

Already did that decades ago when i first tasted diet coke. Reason 100% being that sugar is better😂

I'm not dropping my preworkout and Celsius drinks.

We need a CarnivoreMD, Andrew Huberman, and Derek MPMD discussion on the topic of artificial sweeteners. It would be interesting to hear their opinions as those two don't seem to be worried much about using them. I know Huberman drinks Jocko GO which contains monk fruit, and Derek's supplements are made with sucralose and other artificial sweeteners. Time to get that squad together and discuss the science. 🙌

Oh dear i better check the ingriedients on my creme caramels lol thanks for the tip doc 👍 your a life saver 🙌

i have a question was you think about onions. Like your content

Ok sure. BTW Dairy is NOT ancestral.

100s of grams of honey and fructose - good, doesn't affect insulin or blood glucose at all ever

tiny splash of sucralose in your coffee - instant diabetes

Good to know, makes complete sense

I drink Zevia pretty frequently. I'd love more of a deep-dive into Stevia as a sweetener. Either way, love the channel, Paul.

Essence can spike insulin as well.

Mt. Dew and Doritos

What about monk fruit and erythitol

So eat low carb and enjoy your Zevia

Can you please tell this to Liver King, because I’m a big fan of his “the whole beast” protein powder and the only problem with it is that it has monk fruit extract. I know your good friends with the liver king and you would have a better chance of reaching him then me, thanks Paul

i haven't followed Paul for a while now but he seems to be aging quickly... deep wrinkles, sunken eyes,. And why does he keep closing his eyes while talking?
Similarly Jordan Peterson also seemed to age faster since he started his carnivore diet.

stevia causes PVC's bigtime

While I would agree that more study is a good idea and needed, I don't see how you could compare 2 natural non caloric sweeteners to a highly processed artificial sweetener. Caution might be prudent but this seems more alarmist than the circumstances suggest.

Re stevia, look up this: Effects of chronic administration of Stevia rebaudiana on fertility in rats | Journal of Ethnopharmacology (1999)

Great video! I just bought the vertical diet by Stan efferding. He really recommends white rice for calories and easily digested carbohydrates…what are your thoughts on white rice?

I have tried every type of sweetener. They all trigger my migraines. Some worse than others. I have a sweet tooth and have always searched for sweeteners to satisfy it. But not one is safe for me.

@Paul Saladino; I just want to commend you for your professionalism and respectful manner. I enjoy all your interviews because you never interrupt anyone even when they constantly interrupt you. Well done 👏

I am not carnivore (yet) but I am lowering my carbs especially high oxalate items. (I definitely have an issue with oxalates). Initially I turned to monk fruit but I’ve decided to limit its use and instead use honey. My honey is raw but not glyphosate free, unfortunately. I’ll try it to limit it as well. Love your content!

Why is pure maple syrup not on the same level as honey?

I'm assuming this includes skinny syrup as well?

How about erythritol? What do u think about this?

Paul, we need a protein drink from heart and soil. There are times when I have no access to a kitchen or healthy protein sources and all protein drinks have sweeteners. Even if I had a protein drink that taste near to chalk but was healthy clean protein i would be down for it

That monk fruit crap is very very questionable! Only approved by globalist ran countries! Probably sterlizes.. has minimal testing, and our goverment approved it! Therefore, I say BE CAUTIOUS!

and where is the link to the study

How about coconut sugar? Seems like the cleanest sugar outside of honey and maple.

Xylitol is healthy and good for your teeth (but we are talking about 5 grams per day)

Non GMO allulose??

I can’t find enough info on monk fruit, if anything, a lot of good benefits from it. It’s the only thing that doesn’t mess with my GI system. No bloating, no gas, no inflammation of any sort or diarrhea from it. I can’t do raw honey right now as that gives me a bit of bloating. I just want to heal my gut!! 😩

Thought Stevia and Monkfruit are natural sweeteners.

Dr. Thank you i'm giving up artificial sweeteners for good. I was consuming them daily for a few years and I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any progress or improvement with my health. I was drinking them in the zero sugar yogurts, drinks, energy drinks and for baking mixes. I'm now consuming honey, maple syrup and real fruit. its been a week officially without artificial sweeteners and I lost 1lb already so im excited to see where this goes. I've noticed my cravings for processed sugar have been gone. Thank you!!!!

What about xylitol?

I haven't heard about this 'paper', but I have been sweetening my fruit teas and other herbal teas with sucralose, for years. Drinking alone or along a meal, naturally containing starches and other carbs, sometimes 3 drinks a day, I am yet to see a sign of insulin resistance. I tested myself with OGTT several times over the years, had fasting insulin measured, hba1c... all great... and that coming from a family plagued with T2DM, every single one from my mother's side. Me past 45 years of age and...NOTHING. Not a sign of any metabolic syndrome factors. But I exercise, I watch my overall calorie intake, I consume fruits and veggies, I don't do takeaways, no cakes baking at home or deep frying... all practices of my family though. Making instant noodles? Adding frozen veggies into the boiling water first before noodles, knob of butter, and top up with two eggs, for protein. Perfectly nutritious balanced meal, no snacking afterwards, but a splenda sweetened cherry tea... yum!

It makes sense that these sweeteners would in some way derange the metabolism

EVERY time I go on a binge of artificial sweetener (not stevia) in the form of diet coke, or those powder packets from Wylers, Welch's, and other ones (with maltodextrin, aspartame & acesulfame), I notice for days after or longer that I Can't remember a Lot, more absent minded, very poor short-term memory. Esp vocabulary, which is highlighted because of my work writing. So maybe it's causing my neurons to become unable to communicate like those gut microbes? I don't notice any gut issues, unless I have a Lot of sucralose, which is pretty common.

Stevia is not an artificial sweetener.

Thanks for being an outlier and shortening the learning curve on these nuanced outcomes of the modern manufacturing processes.

what about birch xylitol ?

Human trials have been ongoing since the 60's, it's hard to believe something has recently changed reguarding artificial sweeteners.

Stevia is not an artificial sweetener.

All artificial sweeteners are bad! Aspartame in Coca-Cola causes heart attack, cancer and early dementia. Google it.

What about xylitol? Is it safe'?

What if you’re having not carbs and take sucralose
