Reply to comment by DudoVene in What does it mean when someone says an artificial sweetener 'spikes insulin'? Also, if you're consuming a bunch of carbs along with it, is that such a bad thing? by Frangiblepani

That is not true. Other nutrients affect insulin release too, and there are also control systems affecting the beta cells. So the brain experiencing tasting something sweet could absolutely affect insulin release.

It's true that glucose levels are the most direct factor controlling insulin release, but it's not the only thing involved.
