I’m not a dietiican, but I would think that many studies had been done on what the body does (produce insulin, etc) when sweets/sugars/carbs are consumed.
I could understand why the body gets tricked into a drive to consume and reduce calories/activity when simple carbohydrates are eaten.
They all end up as sugar.
What was being discussed here is something that tastes sweet ~
If you're a diabetic weight control is not the primary thing on your mind.
