Study Deep Dive: Does Aspartame Increase Insulin?

In this episode, Layne Norton, PhD, dissects the landmark 2025 systematic review & meta-analysis in Advances in Nutrition: "The Effects of Aspartame on Glucose, Insulin, and Appetite-Regulating Hormone Responses in Humans". (PMID: 40381807)

This episode is perfect if you've heard claims like "diet soda spikes insulin," "artificial sweeteners cause diabetes," or "aspartame is toxic" — Layne uses this gold-standard review to separate science from fear-mongering.

If you're into evidence-based nutrition, skeptical of viral health scares, or just want to know if your Diet Coke habit is secretly wrecking your metabolism — this episode has the receipts.
