Hej på dig, Maja, och välkommen!
Jag har faktiskt i skrivande stund en flaska julmust light (Spendrups) framför mig, så låt oss se vad det kan finnas för otäcka saker i den:
2 kcal per 100 gram. Inte mycket, med andra ord. Där får du dricka en del för att det skall märkas på vågen, annat än som maginnehåll.
Sötningsmedlen är sackarin och aspartam. Vad säger forskningen om dessas insulinpåvekan efter intag i form av läskeblask? Jo:
"Diabetes Care. 1988 Mar;11(3):230-4.
Response to single dose of aspartame or saccharin by NIDDM patients.
Horwitz DL, McLane M, Kobe P.
Department of Medicine, University of Illinois, Chicago 60680.
Twelve normal subjects and 10 subjects with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were given, in random order at intervals of greater than or equal to 1 wk, three drinks of the same beverage: one unsweetened, one sweetened with 400 mg aspartame, and one sweetened with 135 mg saccharin. The amount of sweetener approximated that in 1 L of sugar-free soft drink. Plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon were measured for 3 h after ingestion of the test beverage. Plasma glucose declined slightly throughout the test period, probably due to fasting, with no differences between the three treatments. Neither sweetener affected peak insulin levels in subjects with or without diabetes... We conclude that ingestion of aspartame- or saccharin-sweetened beverages by fasting subjects, with or without diabetes, did not affect blood glucose homeostasis."
Fritt fram, alltså.
