Welke zoetstof voor diabetici?
Extensieve zoetstoffen Deze zoetstoffen beïnvloeden niet of nauwelijks de bloedsuiker en zitten vaak in ‘suikervrije’ producten met de claim ‘geschikt voor mensen met diabetes’. Voorbeelden van extensieve zoetstoffen zijn isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol en maltitol.
Wat als je teveel Smint eet?
Kijk ook maar eens bij andere kleine snoepjes zoals Smint. Daar zitten ook veel van deze stoffen in. Let op: door het kauwen van kauwgom denkt je lichaam dat er eten onderweg is door de aanmaak van insuline. Maar er komt niks en met als gevolg: honger!
Is Splenda safe for diabetics?
As such, both are relatively safe options for individuals who have or are at risk for developing diabetes. That said, the carbohydrates in Splenda— maltodextrin in particular —have been shown to cause spikes in blood-glucose levels. To complicate matters, many brands of stevia contain such ingredients as well.
Is stevia or Splenda better for You?
Stevia and Splenda are both FDA-approved sweeteners that are generally deemed to be safe, calorie-free substitutes for sugar. Also, because they are so intensely sweet that they only need to be used in tiny amounts, stevia and Splenda are both less likely to be consumed in a way that would mess with your blood-glucose levels.
What gives Splenda its sweetness?
What you get after this tweaking process is sucralose—the substance that’s responsible for giving Splenda (along with many other sugar-free products, such as chewing gum, soda and ice cream) its sweetness. Splenda is the brand name and the most popular variety of a sucralose-based artificial sweetener.
How many calories are in Splenda?
In addition to sucralose (which is an indigestible substance), Splenda also contains dextrose and maltodextrin—two readily digestible carbohydrates that contribute a tiny number of calories to the sweetener. How many, you ask? One teaspoon of the stuff contains just 2 calories.
