First off: THIS WAS NOT A PEER-REVIEWED PAPER. I can't stress that enough. It is from a conference presentation at the endocrinology conferencehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/975838829427884032 …
Health Nerd added,
That's not to say it's worthless, but there's every chance the results will change before the paper is actually published. Happens all the time

But even more importantly, THIS WAS A SMALL IN-VITRO STUDY. Basically, the researchers looked at cells in petri disheshttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/975838829427884032 …
Health Nerd added,
They put a bunch of sucralose (artificial sweetener) onto cells in a petri dish, and saw that those cells accumulated more fat than cells without sucralose
They then looked at fat people who report drinking lots of soft drink, and found similar inflammatory markers in their cells to the cells they put sucralose on
And from here, we have a wonderful news story about how Diet Coke is giving you diabetes. Except that's nonsense
There is good systematic review evidence that substituting sugar with artificial sweeteners makes you lose weight and lowers your risk of diabetespic.twitter.com/LEL6VBu5GU
Moreover, this study looked at fat-cell accumulation NOT diabetes at all!pic.twitter.com/CfefxqN7oS
So...no. Artificial sweeteners are unlikely to give you diabetes And every news story is wrong And I'll be writing a blog about this
