The professional name of "sugar substitute" is "non-nutritive sweetener", hereinafter referred to as NNS. The common feature is: no calories, or because the amount of sweetness is very high, so the calories can be ignored. Members include: saccharin, acesulfame K, aspartame, sucralose, alitame, stevioside and mogroside, etc.
On the surface, when NNS is added to food or beverages, it avoids the excessive calorie intake that may be caused by added sugars (such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, etc.), and causes more negative health effects after entering the human body. Possibility (for example: the effect of fructose on the liver and blood uric acid level). At the same time, NNS can also provide sweetness, which solves the problem of lack of added sugar in food and beverage, which seems to kill two birds with one stone.
But just as added sugar enters the human body not only to provide calories, but also to affect physiological metabolism, the impact of NNS on us can not only be based on the level of calories, but we also need to explore whether the entire metabolic journey after it enters the human body is truly "unused."

You can simply understand that in terms of blood sugar, hunger, and fullness, sucralose and white water have similar effects on the human body. Therefore, if friends with blood sugar problems, such as diabetic patients, occasionally want to eat sweets and are afraid of affecting blood sugar, they can choose to use sucralose as a sugar substitute product, at least not to worry about blood sugar in these few hours.
