Turkey Time Posted by Ann on 11/25/2019, 6:22 am I have been MIA because of some serious medical issues. Just wanted to say how grateful I am to God and to you all who go through this weight challenge. Happy belated Yvonne and Somali! One of the doctors gave me a lecture on my Diet Coke habit. What do you guys use to sweeten your Cambridge? Splenda spikes your insults n apparently. Wishing you all a happy carb free Thanksgiving,

Re: Turkey Time Posted by Pam T on 12/5/2019, 5:27 pm, in reply to "Turkey Time" I hope you are doing better Ann. All sweeteners can cause an insulin spike. The sweet taste of artificial sweeteners triggers cephalic phase insulin release, causing a rise in insulin levels. Regular use changes the balance of our gut bacteria. This could make our cells resistant to the insulin we produce, leading to both increased blood sugar and insulin levels. You won't necessarily see that reflected in a glucose reading. Insulin is the evil doer when it comes to weight loss. It is the fat storing hormone so keeping it low is the goal. Let your body adjust to less sweet tastes. You will lose your desire for them.

Splenda Posted by Yvonne on 11/26/2019, 5:51 pm, in reply to "Turkey Time" I use Splenda. Stevia has an aftertaste for me. I have concerns about the aspartate in Equal. Sweet and Low just doesn’t do it for me. i’m not as brave as Mary. I need some sweetness in my Cambridge.

Re: Sweetener Posted by MaryL on 11/26/2019, 9:03 am, in reply to "Turkey Time" I am sorry to see you are going through some serious medical issues. You asked about sweeteners. In avoiding sweeteners for a few days I have found the Cambridge is very sweet without anything added. Frankly I would prefer to not have the sweetness-I crave salty crunchy stuff. If you need sweetener in Cambridge Super Oats- I would suggest cinnamon and a 1/2 teaspoon of Stevia. If I want soda I mix water with a few drop of lemon or lime juice and Stevia. Have a wonderful Thanks Giving
