The Effect of Sugar on Blood Sugar Levels

Sarah is fascinated by a study that was looking at different sweetness and the impact on what happens to blood sugar levels inside people's bodies. One of the health benefits we think of actually having sweetness in our diet, as well as reducing calories, is actually to reduce these big peaks and dips that you see after consuming sugar in your blood sugar levels. And actually what this study found was the opposite. For two of the sweeteners, sucelos and sacarin tat, that actually resulted in worseing of the blood glucos control.
