We are told that synthetics, such as these sweeteners, give you sweetness in your food, but nothing else. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
It turns out that, surprise, there is more going on that was first thought. In fact, your very perception of satiety, or fullness. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Just add this to the list of “unintended consequences” that are typically discovered for synthetic food additives — long after they’ve been added to the food supply!!<\/span><\/div>\n

Different sweeteners may affect the release of satiety Hormones in the gut in different ways, claim researchers writing in Food Chemistry<\/b><\/i>, who suggest their work could lead to development of novel ways to control appetite.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Previous research has shown that there may be differences in gut responses after exposure to different types of equally sweet compounds \u2013 some caloric and some calorie-free. This latest study, from researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, looked at the effects on satiety hormone secretion from gut cells after stimulation with different tastants, including sucrose (sugar), sucralose, and erythritol.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
They found that the effects of non-caloric sweeteners on the release of satiety hormones were different when compared to sucrose. While both sucralose and sucrose stimulated release of satiety hormones CCK and GLP-1, erythritol did not, even at concentrations of equal sweetness.”<\/span><\/div>\n
