Artificial Sweeteners in diet coldrinks and sugar-free snacks often satisfy cravings without adding extra
calories…
But a new study suggests that some artificial sweeteners may disrupt brain signals and appetite regulation…
This could ironically make weight management more challenging.
Healthier blood sugar couldn’t get easier than this one simple step!
With just three small capsules of FSPNutritionals’ Complete Gluco-Control, you’re getting…
• Berberine – the secret key to the Metabolic Master Switch that regulates blood sugar at cellular level!
• Mulberry Leaf Extract – the sugar ‘sponge’ nutrient that reduces the entry of glucose levels into the blood stream!
• Chromium – the mineral that ushers sugar into your cells and out of your blood stream!
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid – the powerhouse in every single cell in your body which clears the way for insulin to do its job properly!
• Biotin – the blood sugar vitamin that converts glucose into a form your cells can use for energy!
• Magnesium – the blood sugar essential mineral deficient in people with insulin resistance!
• Ginger – the anti-inflammatory wonder that prevents high blood sugar levels.
This could mean no more dozing off in front of the TV… or raiding the fridge for a midnight snack… or constantly worrying about your sugar level counts…
Confusing brain signals from sucralose…
Recent research published in Nature Metabolism by the University of Southern California delved into the effects of sucralose, a commonly used artificial sweetener.
The findings reveal that sucralose may confuse the brain’s natural hunger cues, increasing appetite rather than curbing it.
In the randomised crossover study involving 75 young adults across different weight categories, participants consumed beverages sweetened with either sucralose, regular sugar (sucrose), or plain water…
Researchers monitored hypothalamic activity (the brain region responsible for regulating hunger) and discovered that sucralose stimulated greater hypothalamic blood flow compared to sucrose or water.
Interestingly, participants also reported feeling hungrier after consuming sucralose-based beverages, even though these did not trigger increased blood sugar and insulin secretion.
This disconnect – where sweetness is detected by the tongue, but the body doesn’t receive the anticipated calories – leaves the brain in a state of unfulfilled anticipation, potentially driving continuous hunger.
And also interestingly, the effects differed among the participants:
Those with a healthy weight exhibited stronger hypothalamic activation to sucralose than sucrose.
Obese participants had heightened hypothalamic responses to sucralose versus water, but not versus sucrose.
Women demonstrated more pronounced hypothalamic responses to sucralose compared to men, consistent with prior research on heightened female brain sensitivity to food cues.
Participants with lower insulin sensitivity exhibited stronger hunger signals after consuming sucralose, regardless of their body weight. This suggests metabolic health may also play a significant role.

How sucralose rewires brain connections
Beyond activating the hypothalamus, sucralose influenced functional connectivity between brain regions.
It enhanced connectivity between the hypothalamus and areas responsible for reward processing (anterior cingulate cortex) and sensory integration (superior parietal lobule).
These changes hint at sucralose’s potential effects on motivation and pleasure-seeking behaviours related to food, further complicating appetite regulation.
While sucralose may provide sweetness without calories, its potential to confuse hunger regulation mechanisms could make weight management more difficult.

How to activate the Metabolic Master Switch in your cells for more balanced blood sugar
There’s a natural compound found in a number of plants that’s been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine to help treat a variety of ailments.
It has the ability to help activate an enzyme in cells called the Metabolic Master Switch. When this happens, your body can switch specific genes on and off to regulate your metabolism – at cellular level!
The results: Lower blood sugar levels, improved insulin sensitivity in cells, muscles use more glucose for energy, reduced sugar production in the liver and a delayed breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract.
