Forscher entdeckten, dass kommerzielle Süßstoffe das Wachstum von Darmbakterien veränderten und mit Medikamenten interagierten. Die Studie ergab, dass die Zuckerersatzstoffe, wenn sie mit gängigen Medikamenten wie Antidepressiva gemischt wurden, die Darmvielfalt beeinträchtigten und die Stoffwechselfunktionen beeinträchtigten.

“However, it is important to note that the experiments were conducted *in vitro* using a simplified 25-strain community at a fixed concentration; the human gut is far more complex and variable.”
Wake me when I’m dead.
N of 1 here but holy hell when I have erythritol, I get lethal farts.
I’m not going to read this because I take ssris and I love artificial sweeteners. If I’m screwed I don’t want to know
Great I got to check where stevia lands cause it seems less directly structurally similar to some of the others and it turns out the specially selected that one for testing as super effective combo for inhibiting growth, haha.
Just can’t win with these things.
Please explain to me what “cell walls” have to do with protecting gut bacteria from the combination of the sweetener and antidepressant described. Only plants have cell walls; animal cells (including bacteria) *do not*
some iteration of this finding has been published for 30 years.
Artificial sweeteners change gut ecology.
This study is complete crap. First, they used a metabolite of stevia but not the drug? Second, that drug is metabolized and a majority should not reach the colon and impact the microbiome. Doses are also irrelevant to humans. Sick of these poorly designed, wastes of funding studies.
Currently my gut biome is fucked and funny enough five ago a switched normal soda for zero soda.
Maybe A coincidence but nowadays i only drink water and tea while trying to recover.
Is this different to what „natural“ sugars do?
