The Claim
In overweight and obese adults aged 25–50, replacing added sugar with sucralose in beverages for 12 weeks leads to a statistically significant reduction in waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, visceral adiposity index, HOMA-IR, and triglyceride/glucose index, along with a significant increase in HDL cholesterol.
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.
If you're overweight and swap sugary drinks for diet drinks with sucralose for 12 weeks, your waist size and blood sugar levels may go down, and your good cholesterol may go up.
