Hi Rhonda. Big admirer of your great work. Can you please reference the studies you refer to on the correlation between artificial sweeteners and their effect on gut micro-biome and causing obesity? I have scoured the internet and have found several studies but the evidence from the studies appears to be fairly inconclusive…
Also,( based on my biased anecdotal evidence,lol) I have had extreme success with weight loss and management by substituting sugary foods and drinks with artificial sweeteners. Am I an anomaly!?
Do you know the approximate time for that part of the conversation? I’d love to add the studies to the timeline. Of course, in no way did I mean to imply that it is strictly impossible to lose weight while consuming artificial sweeteners. Congratulations on your success!
Sorry Rhonda, I can’t recall the approximate time! Thanks for the links to the studies. Very interesting.
So , would you say that I happen to be one of the “lucky” individuals who is not affected by this or is it something you suspect will eventually have a negative impact? Is there a way one can test the health of their gut bacteria?!
Thanks again.
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.
