 | | | Artificial sweeteners linked to abnormal glucose metabolism |  | | Getty Images | | Consumption of commonly used non-caloric artificial sweeteners may increase the risk of developing glucose intolerance (elevated blood sugar levels), a mouse and human study in Nature this week indicates. Mice fed on diets supplemented with sweeteners exhibit altered energy metabolism that seems to be modulated by the effects of sweeteners on the composition and function of gut microbes. Similar associations between sweetener consumption, microbial imbalances and impaired glucose metabolism are observed in humans. These results indicate that non-caloric artificial sweeteners may exacerbate, rather than prevent, metabolic disorders such as glucose intolerance and diabetes.
