does artificial sugar spike insulin and increase igf1?

[asdvek]

so, we know sugar increases igf1 by spiking insulin, the real sugar. but does artificial sugar increase igf1 and spike insulin too? if so, eating artificial sugar could be a goated heightmax unironically.

Artificial sweeteners? Not to the same extent and cancause higher insulin resistance

Stick to fruits, sugar, honey and such and keep balance. Ensure intake of fat, enough carbs and protein from meats too. Micronutrient profile is also extremely important.

let's just say it did, why would it be better than regular sugar, assuming both spiked insulin just as high ?

It won't spike insulin, but it may lead to diseases that could lead to insulin resistance.

because easier and quicker to consume

so we avoid artificials. ok

It is not metabolized so it would be 0 calories and would be "better in theory" for spiking insulin while remaining lean

ah right, thanks

I thought sweeteners didn't effect blood sugar levels
