What about that whole thing I've heard about your body creating insulin when you eat something sweet, and if it's artificial, the insulin still gets released but then has nothing to do (or is too much) and then causes ... Some kind of under/over-production problem?

Great point, Elle_in_Hell. This has been shown to be true with artificial sweeteners like Splenda, sweet 'n low, equal, etc., but not with natural non-caloric sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia.
