Sweeteners under the microscope: do they spike blood sugar?
NCT ID NCT07506577
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether two common artificial sweeteners—saccharin and acesulfame-potassium—affect blood sugar levels in middle-aged and older adults with prediabetes. Fourteen participants ate controlled breakfasts with or without these sweeteners, and their blood glucose was monitored for two hours. The goal was to understand if these sweeteners impact glucose tolerance in people at risk for type 2 diabetes.
