The Claim
In C57BL/6 male mice fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks, consumption of Reb M is associated with improved insulin sensitivity compared to water and fructose controls, as evidenced by lower insulin tolerance test AUC (p=0.03) and reduced C-peptide levels, suggesting enhanced insulin action without increased insulin secretion.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When mice on a fatty diet drank a sweetener called Reb M instead of water or sugar water, their bodies handled insulin better—meaning their blood sugar stayed more under control without making more insulin.

1 studyStudy: Long-term metabolic effects of non-nutritive sweeteners
The study gave mice a sweetener called Reb M while feeding them a fatty diet, and found they handled insulin better than mice drinking water or sugar water — just like the claim says.
