Here is what the page “Neotame, a Protein 2,000 Times Sweeter Than Sugar, Halved Ice Cream's Blood Sugar Response” contains. A new study suggests that neotame, an artificial sweetener 2,000 times sweeter than sugar, may reduce the blood sugar spike after eating ice cream when combined with other ingredients. Researchers found that adding neotame along with the sugar alcohol erythritol, soluble corn fiber, and the natural sweetener xylitol to ice cream cut the post-meal blood sugar response by half compared to regular ice cream. The finding points to possible ways to make indulgent desserts less disruptive to glucose levels, though experts caution that artificial sweeteners are not a free pass.
The study, published in a peer-reviewed journal, adds to ongoing discussions about how sweeteners affect metabolism and long-term health. As diabetes and obesity rates climb globally, food scientists are exploring reformulations that preserve taste while reducing sugar's impact.
