Some people may find that the article only mentions artificial sugar substitution, not natural sugar substitution. In fact, the mainstream view in the scientific community is that artificial sugar substitutes are more harmful to the body and also have the risk of inducing diabetes. However, natural sugar substitutes are relatively safe. Erythritol, for example, will not stimulate insulin secretion, will not affect blood sugar, and will not affect triglycerides and cholesterol. It is absorbed from the intestinal tract into the human body and finally discharged through the kidney without any change.
However, scientific development is a spiral process, and there may also be a process of constantly overthrowing and drawing conclusions. For example, when artificial sugar substitutes were first invented, people thought they were safer, but later with the deepening of research, they also found its drawbacks. In a word, according to the current research, sugar substitutes are better than added sugar, and natural sugar substitutes are better than artificial sugar substitutes. If you can't put sweet taste in, it's OK to choose natural sugar substitutes. However, the research on natural sugar substitution is not sufficient, so it is better to keep proper restraint no matter what sugar free drinks you are facing.
