Non-nutritive sweeteners have been on the suspect list for screwing up your gut bacteria for a long time. I've weeded out most of them and largely stick to allulose but more research is definitely needed. Two things I take good care of now are my gut bacteria and mitochondria.

Cephalic response : insulin goes high anticipating sugar, but the carbs don't arrive, causing blood sugar to come down, causing increased hunger.
