Does aspertame and substitute sugars cause a spike in your blood sugar like regular sugar does>

There is a lot of old sugar substitute material still floating around the net. Some are quite misleading. Of all the following sugar substitutes, I settled on Splenda for taste and for not raising my glucose levels. As with any product, moderation is important.

These are the most widely known sugar substitutes:
Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet) does not raise glucose but that would be the least of worries from this chemical time bomb. It is found in many sodas.

Acesulfame potassium (Sunett, Sweet One) an Aspartame look alike

Splenda (sucralose) is a sugar derivative that does not raise glucose. Since it's made from sugar it taste like sugar. However, ONLY the granulated Splenda is sugar free, not the other Splenda products as they contain sugar in a blended mix.

Stevia is derived from a natural plant and has an artificial taste. Used in Japan to sweeten drinks for 30+ years, the taste vote is divided - some love the taste others hate it. Like agave it may raise glucose levels in some people.

Truvia is modified Stevia with added sugar. Stay away.
