  1. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    The blandest white bread that barely registers as having any taste at all will spike your blood glucose levels and cause a reactionary insulin spike.

    Here is your problem.

    However, starch, which is nutritive but non-sweet, did not elicit CPIR although rats showed a strong preference for starch which is a source of glucose.

    In this case starchy foods did not illicit the response that would on injection, however under your argument it would have.

    Really? This is the argument? They went though the spectrum of tastes, but this is what you are going to claim? What other receptors on your taste buds responds with insulin?

    My issue is with his believe that only a his absolute statement that insulin production is only triggered by the presence of glucose, and does not occur with the presence of aspartame even in high concentrations.

    It says something tasting sweet causes insulin production. Does aspartame taste sweet?

    You make no sense what so ever. THE SUBSTANCE WAS NOT INGESTED, it was solely based on the TASTE BUDS, and the brain response to it. Taste buds do not know what a substance is, it only knows where it falls on a scale. Your argument is illogical. If it was INGESTED then I would agree with you, but it was not.

    From these results, we conclude that sweetness information conducted by thistaste nerve provides essential information for eliciting CPIR.

    The study shows that just the taste of a sweetener can cause on insulin boost, it has nothing to do with the type. The insulin response was BEFORE ingestion, so why would the type of sweetener matter?

    oh really?

    just the taste of a sweetner can trigger insulin production, and therefore is triggered with aspartame.

    SystemD helps distro developers, there is no denying that. the denying is that it helps the systems themselves and the administrators who manage them.

    So posting in a thread about a feature he does not like is somehow looking back at the systems? So once you change systems you cannot ever look or post on the previous techs threads or you are looking back?
