Do DIET softdrinks raise the level of sugar in your body?
Question:
Answers:
Probably not the diet soft drinks, unless perhaps they are sweetened with Splenda, which is just chlorinated sugar. I heard from a diabetic I know that his doctor told him that Splenda counts the same as sugar. It may not have carbohydrates per se, but it is closest to sugar in structure and might show up as blood sugar in a test. As for aspartame, it is just a dipeptide, 2 amino acids strung together. The danger I see in that sweetener would be its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, although the jury is still out on its dangerous properties beyond that. The FDA even went as far as taking saccharin off the list of dangerous compounds, because the tests that showed its carcinogenicity were performed with amounts so great that they were simply a matter of poisoning and not due to the discrete properties of the compound itself. I don't think saccharin or aspartame would show up as sugar in a blood test, though.
NO. It is probally something else. Maybe starches such as breads and pasta or desserts. They turn into sugars
