My aunty had used Equal since it was first introduced to Australia in the early eighties and she passed away aged 84 in 2020. If it was going to cause a problem, you’d think it would have in that timeframe. I’m using stevia sweetener and have lost weight and brought my bloodwork back to normal, which was reassuring since diabetes is in my family.
The way things can work, is that say there was some minor detrimental effect, well that could mean that she could have lived to 90 or so, instead of 84. It doesn't have to be some dramatic effect/change of like decades.
I've been using various non-nutritive sweeteners via soft-drinks, coffee and also in baking for over 30 years (also in Australia) and have had no negative health effects whatsoever. To the contrary, about 6 years ago when I managed to eliminate sugar from my diet completely it was stevia, erythritol, aspartame, etc, that allowed me to satisfy my sweet tooth while slowly losing 40+ kilos through improved diet and exercise.
I left the TV on today playing RUclips (because my cat likes watching TV, for real) and when I got back from work it was playing your podcast with Andrew Huberman about NNS and other foods haha!
I try to use NNS sparingly. I absolutely encourage people consider them for weight loss, but personally I’d rather just adjust my tastes rather than my taste.
That is quite interesting Layne My understanding was always based on what I had previously read and I quote: “Erythritol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, isomalt, xylitol, and maltitol are natural sweeteners that do not affect the composition of the gut microbiota.However, erythritol can enhance butyric and pentanoic acid production when tested using a human gut microbial community.Polyols like erythritol, sorbitol, and mannitol do not alter the makeup of the intestinal flora, but lactitol, isomalt, xylitol, and maltitol provoke shifts in the gut microbiome, increasing bifidobacteria numbers in healthy people.Polyols that are naturally occurring can be healthy for the gut microbiome, but they can lead to diarrhea and gas production. Erythritol may be safe for some people, but not for others.”
Great comment. Thanks. The Stevia that most stores sell is NOT Stevia. READ THE LABEL! It's ready Erythritol which is a carbohydrate. Maybe the second or third ingredient is Stevia. You can find real Stevia, but you may have the READ THE LABEL! Buyer Beware!
I wish there were more talks about allulose, Peter Attia mentioned it , was the first time i heard of it , bought some and extremely close taste to sugar.
6:40 - It's interesting that the National Cancer Institute says this study "found that persons who consumed the greatest amounts of artificial sweeteners were slightly more likely to develop cancer". After looking at the data in the study, what Layne says at 6:40 is much more accurate.
Looking for a substitute for sugar for my child. He likes sweet tea so I bought pyure organic stevia leaf extract. Used a tiny little bit. I felt tingling at the base of my neck. I think I'm going to return it. Gonna try monk fruit next
Pretty simple to test different artificial sweeteners and their effects on the microbiome whatever people have done or haven't (i.e. the avoidant group and the like): Put the sweetener in a capsule form--then they can't taste it and know whether they are receiving a placebo or a particular sweetener.
Recently added 3 diet sodas to my day for mainly the caffeine as a way to curve out hunger before meals and i believe it to have had a huge impact for a variety of reasons. I even drink one before weightlifting after i ensure i am hydrated. Been going harder
I have been NNSMaxxing for a year now. I have 12 sugartwins in my coffee, drink at least 2L of diet soda per day, put 4 Tbsp sucralose in my pre workout, and sprinkle stevia over all of my meals. I am gaining the maximum benefit from mega dosing every available NNS
@@jimmymuthami7130 When I spoke to someone who worked in the field of protein bars she mentioned there's more research showing erythritol has been found to be harmless. Not necessarily better but there seems to be a lot of evidence that at least it's safe.
I have lost 14 pounds since I switched many regular-sugar-based products in my diet to stevia-based ones that I LOVE. I don't exercise much so this drastic change definitely isn't due to that. I replaced sugary juices with a sugar-free stevia lemonade, regular oat milk with chobani zero sugar oat milk, poppi and zevia drinks instead of sodas, a variety of smart sweets gummy candy instead of standard gummy candy brands, and stevia chocolate Carmel pecan bites instead of the dark chocolate pretzel bark from trader joes. The best part is that NONE of the things I've changed have felt like a sacrifice. I love all of these new replacements and how they're helping me be happier, lose weight, and combat my increased risk of Type II diabetes that runs in my family. Part of this weight loss is also from reducing ice cream intake , but the stevia switches have definitely been the most drastic change. You don't have to be a gym rat to lose weight, if your diet is sugar heavy like mine was, just switching to stevia can make a HUGE difference for you.
I prefer my coffee black ! just pure 100% arabic beans. However I drink soda from time to time and I stick with regular Coca-Cola, I never touch artificial sweeteners. As for Stevia, I tried it many times, it always gives me immediate headache and tiredness.
Interesting about the decrease in akkermansia bacteria. When Akkermansia is present in the right amounts, it's associated with better metabolic and immune health. I wish you got an expert opinion about the importance of it. In my non expert opinion, it is the most beneficial gut bacteria we have.
Been using Stevia for over 20 years. At the suggestion of Dr Robert Scott Bell who I used to listen to on the radio. I found Now Stevia at my local health food store. Its pretty pure. In more recent years, I buy on subscription through Amazon. I use 3 drops in a large mug of coffee. Maybe a quarter of a dropper full in a large thermos of my citrus/ACV beverage. At onset of menopause, many years ago now, I started getting migraines. Triggered by sugar, alcoholic drinks (of any kind), and things like MSG. Barometric change, naps, heavy exercise, or excitement, perfumes, etc also became triggers. And we are talking 5 day unstoppable headaches. My life became a nightmare. I had to give up many activities. And make sure I did not fall asleep before actual bedtime! Needless to say, I gave up a lot of foods and activities. But Stevia did not affect my headaches one way or another. Erythritol triggers headaches for me. Worse than sugar!😮 Also, interestingly, a friend was being treated for Lyme by a naturopath. Part of her strictly herbal regime included a dropper full of Stevia every day. I can't imagine. The sweetness overload would be nauseating! Could be why I was never affected by Lyme disease. I lived on 31 wooded acres in coastal CT for 28 years! Lyme ticks were everywhere! Might not have been a full dropper daily. But darn close often enough, with all the things I use it in.
For testing of sweeteners vs placebo, can't you use neutral delivery capsules that near-instantly dissolve in the stomach? That wouldn't account for effects of sweeteners triggered by receptors in the mouth but it's hard to see mechanistically how that would alter adaptive effects in the composition of the gut microbiome. Although you could also test sweetener in capsule vs same sweetener without capsule to check for any change in effect. Not my area of expertise, just curious since I've heard this argument about the difficulties of placebo testing for things with taste a few times over the years.
Stevia (and really any artificial sweetner) is like what vaping is to smoking. Is it safer? In the short term it seems that way but we have to cross our fingers for the long run
I used allulose with enthusiasm especially to make my own ice cream because the texture is really good. But I stopped completely because my digestive system really can’t take allulose.
The whole artificial sweetener thing continues to puzzle me particularly "sugar free" energy drinks. Some such as monster genuinely affect my health negatively and noticeably particularly during exercise. Others such as Celsius seem to not affect how I feel but will cause a noticeable increase in blemishes the following day. The "Reign Energy" brand seems to have a neutral affect. There's definitely more to artificial sweetners/gut biome health then we are all led to believe.
I used to love stevia but one day I chugged a Zevis soft drink and I had my first ever ocular migraine within minutes. It was scary! I didn’t make the stevia connection until it happened a few more times immediately after consuming stevia-containing things, like a flavored protein powder. Now I refuse to touch the stuff.
Can you please do a video on the study here: www.healthday.com/health-news/nutrition/artificial-sweetener-xylitol-linked-to-heart-attack-stroke I only took a cursory look, but it seems like another instance of mere association combined with individual mechanisms.
it was correlational. erythritol is not only produced by the body, the study also failed to equate for preliminary information like health. Long story short, the people with heart illnesses drank more beverages with erythritol and skewed the statistic. Imo nothing to be wary of.
@@bancy1527 makes sense. You drink sugar for decades, you get obesity related heart issues, your doc tells you to lose weight, you start drinking diet pop and get a heart attack due to the still existing obesity. Correlation between artificial sweetener and heart attack established :(

In 2024, we have moved on to Allulose. It's a new, rare, natural sugar. You never mentioned it in your video. It will replace all the artificial sweeteners in time. Regardless, check the research.
What about the laxative effect of higher doses? And "higher" doses is not hard to reach when they put it in fuckin everything. Soda, yoghurt, chocolate milk, gum. You name it 😂
I don't know if stevia (or any other NNS), but i know that obesity have a ton of harmful effects. So I'd rather risk using NNS and having a higher chance of being cured from my obesity than cutting anything that has NNS and becoming obese once again (i know that i wouldn't be able to live without soda, so I'd rather have diet soda than a normal one).
Might have an impact on hormones, there are some articles saying it disrupts estrogen levels in women. just something I read on a quick google so it might be BS
Alternative sweetener research is a whole body of literature I don't have to worry about my motto is "if it isn't a fruit I don't eat it when it comes to Sweet"😊
Definitely not much really known about gut bacteria yet. Like I am sure some of the bad gut bacteria will be seen as not so bad one day. Saying no effect on amounts of guts bacteria, so no effects on gut bacteria, is like giving a healthy group of people meth, and have a placebo group, then if nobody died in the meth group, and some did in the placebo group, conclude that meth is good for you.

I am fit guy, but always struggled with alcohol consumption. Socializing was only possible with a beer or another anlcoholic beverage. Now at 36 I tackled this issue and finally found a way to dramatically reduce alcohol.
How?
Drinking NNS Coke, etc. Instead of alcohol.
I am pretty sure, that this is healthier than the alcohol consumption way.
Thanks Layne!
Support for you from Germany!
how do you explain to your friends tho that you dont drink alcohol but diet coke instead?
@@Amy-yb3pz No real explanation, just facts. Just telling that I am having diet drinks today instead of alcohol. That’s about it.
NNS has absolutely helped me lose fat over time.
Whether it's zero soda or water with a diet mix, the artificial sweeteners seem far less risky to me then upwards of 100-200g of sugar per day.

As far as I know, Erythritol is the safest sweetener out there in the market. Allulose a close second and then all the others.
There are studies that show a possible link (but not proven) with Erythritol to heart disease risk, and a proven spike in blood sugar.
I use both but how is Erythritol safer than Allulose.

3:45 Couldn't they put the sweetener in a sealed capsule for them to swallow to allow for a placebo?
That's a good idea my man, surprised Layne didn't think of that
Hah! I just had this exact thought. I agree
I'm sure they could, but how would you stop them eating sugar or other sweeteners at the same time in their normal diet? *Very* hard to isolate.
@@MichaelGGarry you simply ask them not to, their participating in a study. Or make it a metabolic ward study
@@chrisbrugmans559 Asking them not to is not very scientific and basically adds far more noise to the data as you are not sure who has consumed what.

10 drops is too little. They should have done with an amount that people use. Like minimum 30 drops a day.
I use stevia in my coffee and there's sucralose in my Mio so I'm counting this as a best of both worlds situation 🎉
How about monk fruit?
There's some evidence monk fruit can act as a prebiotic. Not sure if there's human data on it though.
I never knew monks grow fruit. I need to read more books.
Well I cant have sugar because I get candida. I love stevia and grow the plant.
If it means regular sugar or Stevia or allulose, I’ll choose the latter!!!
can they not implement placebo trials by making the beverage tasteless or add something that overpowers the sweetness (spice maybe idk)...?
How about on teeth? Most says its better because its not promoting same bacteria on teeth. Im not good at judging quality of studies though
