    I don't see how something that isn't metabolized can affect blood sugar.

    From what I've read, researchers don't know HOW it happens. One hypothesis is that the artificial sweeteners impact the gut microbiota, which in turn impacts the human host's metabolism. Another is that the sweet taste causes the brain (hypothalamus) or endocrine system to do things that create insulin resistance. I think all agree that further research is needed. It's probably going on now, but not yet published.

    In the meantime, I appreciate TBrown having pointed out the use of Splenda in Walden Farms products. I haven't cut Splenda out totally, but I am trying to limit it, in my own diet, since it's still fairly new and apparently all its effects are not yet known.
