In today's episode, we're talking about bacteria and the impact artificial sweeteners can have on your gut health.

Did you know that you've got more bacterial cells in your body than human cells?

Bacteria are the biggest part of what makes us uniquely human. You are a walking bacterial super-organism.

Artificial sweeteners—like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin—aren't neutral because they have no caloric value as so many love to postulate.

A study published in the Journal of Nature in 2014 revealed that the altered bacterial balance brought on by ingesting artificial sweeteners triggered glucose intolerance—basically, Splenda or Ace K lay the ground work for diabetes in the future.

Artificial sweeteners shift the gut away from butyrate-producing species (our favorite short chain fatty acid) and toward inflammatory ones. This is essential to understand because how those bacteria are balanced decides how our mind and body manifest in life.
