The study should have done a control test where they didn't have a drink beforehand, only the rice meal, to see how that affected their blood sugar. A possible explanation seems to me that the test with the monkfruit drink didn't make blood sugar spike higher than it would have done if they had only eaten rice, but drinking a sugary drink actually caused the end blood glucose level to be lower because of the sudden surge of insulin after the drink, so their insulin levels were higher when they started eating the rice. If they'd done a control test with no drink, they would know if that was the case or not. I guess we need to test our own responses to it to find out the truth.

This was my opinion too. 16 teaspoons of sugar is a WHOLE LOT OF SUGAR, which would spike both glucose and insulin! Of course the rice-only induced glucose initial spike would be higher, since the subject was at baseline already for both glucose and insulin. There was no pre-charged insulin in the system from all that ingested sugar. The study took the ball down to the 3-yard line, and stopped. As you pointed out, a third simple test with no sugar OR Monk fruit, and just the rice, would have been an eye-opener.

The graph is easy to explain: at the 1 hr mark, those who drank the sugar water an hour earlier had some insulin in there bloodstream in response to that drink. When they ate the rice, the insulin already present was able to immediately lower the increase in blood glucose from the rice, resulting in a more gradual peak in blood glucose over the next hour.

Rice is going to cause a spike in blood sugar same as table sugar. If someone had a sugary drink an hour before eating rice, they're already going to have elevated insulin where as if you had a monk fruit sweetened drink you wouldn't have had a recent insulin response.

Oh my... this is a very flawed study because it is measuring blood sugar NOT INSULIN... there was no elevated insulin response to monk fruit because it did not raise blood sugar... the table sugar raised blood sugar which the body responded to by raising insulin, which then lowered blood sugar... when the fried rice (pure carbohydrate) was consumed... there was less of a spike in blood sugar after first consuming table sugar because insulin was already raised... this is why blood sugar spiked more after eating rice after consuming monk-fruit. Because insulin was LOWER.. Please note that White RICE is actually higher on the glycemic index than table sugar.

Its obvious that you are not well verse with endocrinology from the way you are drawing conclusions. I'm diabetic diagnosed with a HbA1C of 13.1% and listening to my doctor and dietician does me no good, Diabetes is not about blood glucose level alone but also insulin, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistances. The sugar water would have flushed the group with insulin and when the fried rice is eaten, there is a cushioning effect. Do understand that both glucose and insulin spike does the body harm and to avoid diabetes complications, it is utmost important to reduce both spikes. Insulin down regulates some metabolic pathways and causes inflammation while high glucose causes glycation to tissues and cells. Insulin resistance/ hyperinsulinemia (state of elevated insulin) can leads to mitochondrial dysfunctions, including cognitive degeneration. Diabetes is not a chronic and progressive disease as was told to me but a metabolic syndrome or disorder. It can be driven into remission. I no longer need insulin injections daily and only using 20% of the dosage of oral meds which was once prescribed to me. My last 2 HbA1C tests was 5.9%. My eye-sight has recovered slightly and my peripheral neuropathy is not getting worse. Monk Fruit sweetener has been a part of my diet plan.

The monk fruit didn’t spike any insulin at all, so the rice caused a bigger spike in insulin because it needed more to correct the rice spike. The monk fruit had no effect on the insulin spike caused by the rice… Keep using your monk fruit.

Bad test comparison to incorporate food (rice) with monk fruit and table sugar. Why? Because rice being high in carbs will spike glucose levels regardless of monk fruit or sugar. The test should not have been to see how it relates to incorporating other food sources such as high carb rice but rather to test between the two sweeteners on their own without incorporating food such as rice. A proper test to compare monk fruit vs sugar would have been to have tested glucose levels after simply taking monk fruit mixed in a drink one day and table sugar mixed in a drink on another day without adding any food to it. To add rice to this test one hour or two after anything will automatically spike glucose levels regardless of whether you have had monk fruit or sugar beforehand. This can give monk fruit a bad name when monk fruit actually does not raise glucose levels nowhere near if at all compared to sugar but if you're going to have monk fruit and then have a high carb food like rice an hour later then ofcourse it's not going to really make a difference when you compare it to sugar.

I do agree if they had done this test without any foods it could give a better comparison on the effects of sugar and monk fruit sweetener on blood sugar. My guess why they perform this test with fried rice is because it is a common habit for people to have sweetened drinks in a day on top of their meals. This may give a more realistic view than doing a test comparing only sugar and monk fruit sweetener. I’m based in SG same as Dr Chan and what I observe is, it is common for our people to order a plate of rice with mixed vegetables (we call it cai png) plus a drink like chrysanthemum tea or coke. Perhaps the study would be better or more conclusive if they had also done a comparison of the blood glucose when participants had only fried rice without any sugar or sweetener drinks. That might help to determine whether the spike in blood glucose after rice is due to rice itself, by monk fruit sweetener or a combination of both. As there is no baseline study, we can’t say for sure what could be the cause for the second even higher blood glucose spike for the fried rice+monk fruit drink combination. Though not exactly a fair study, I still learn something from this. We can’t be half-hearted if we want to have better blood sugar control. People have the misperception that they are being healthier by taking such sweetener drinks yet indulge in foods with high sugar/carbo content such as rice (white I assume) in this case. And lastly, what I can conclude for sure, the best drink should be plain water instead of having sugar or sweetened drinks in a meal (helps to save money too! :P).

I respectfully disagree. We already know that monk fruit sweetener itself alone will not spike blood sugar levels. We don't need more studies to show this. It's important to know how eating monk fruit sweetener with other things affects our body, as this is what actually happens very often in real life. Not everyone who eats monk fruit sugar always follows it with low carb. The study he brought up is great to show the complex nature of monk fruit sweetener and how we should thus use it given this new knowledge. The study suggests that while monk fruit sweetener itself has no effect on glucose levels, if shortly followed by a carb heavy meal like fried rice, your glucose levels will spike higher than if you had just a regular drink followed with rice. Furthermore, the area under the curve for both scenarios are the same. This means that monk fruit sugar is good to lower blood glucose levels, but ONLY if it is not followed by a heavy carb meal. In other words, if you are diabetic for example, and are trying to prevent spikes in blood glucose levels, you shouldn't eat monk fruit sugar + heavy carb falsely thinking it will be better for your blood glucose levels than sugar + heavy carb.

I'm non-diabetic, but occasionally monitor my blood glucose with a CGM, as I've been told by my Dr that I'm pre-diabetic (based on my A1C and fasting BG). I did a simple experiment on myself where I consumed a glass of water with a monkfruit sweetener added to it, during a period in which I had been fasting for over 13 hours, and my blood sugars were stable. I saw a clear increase of about 10 mg/dL in my blood glucose, the total climb/fall (back to the stable level) lasting about 50 minutes from the time I consumed it. I don't know why I saw a noticeable increase in the hour after consuming my drink, and the participants in your referenced study did not...perhaps it's because I was fasting? Monk fruit sweetener is non-caloric, but I don't think that means it cannot influence your blood sugar (for better or worse). There definitely seems to be a difference between consuming it and consuming nothing at all.

Since the Monk Fruit caused no change in blood sugar, I would want to know how it compares to sugar when the meal is a low glycemic one. A bowl of rice is not the best choice for a diabetic anyway. What happens when a diabetic drinks a Monk Fruit sweetened beverage and then eats a bowl of vegetables and perhaps a very small amount of protein? Could this help provide satiety without a blood sugar spike? The bowl of rice in this study really threw the whole thing off for me, but it provides a good look at what happens if someone is using the low glycemic sweetener combined with a high glycemic meal. For a diabetic, I would like to see the average blood glucose levels of people who maintain a low glycemic diet (including using Monk Fruit as a sweetener) over a longer period of time.

I have no interest in taking sides or to participate in any debate about whether Monk Fruit Sweetener is better than other sweeteners or whether Monk Fruit Sweetener is 100% good or 100% bad. I made this video simply to highlight that we should not assume that the use of Non-Nutritive Sweeteners, even natural ones such as Monk Fruit Sweeteners, would definitely translate to better blood glucose control. The study shared in this video highlights this very point, raises this question mark about Non-nutritive sweeteners, including Monk Fruit Sweetener. However, we cannot and should not take any single study, to make sweeping statements to prove or disprove anything but we should take the findings of any study, to add new perspectives. to challenge assumptions, to what Science already shows (or not).

I assume the study used 100%. I was confused however by the use of a Rice lunch? That to me would be problematic with the test. Why not use something more neutral to blood sugar control and easily measured for volume/qty? I don't think this study shows anything significant, other than monk fruit not spiking blood sugar when consumed on an empty stomach before food. That in itself is good. I use it for coffee since that is the only thing I must have sweetened.

It seems plausible that the bodys processing of the sugar beverage produced enough insulin to also buffer the carbs from the rice. Monk fruit did what it was suppose to do. No insulin response to sweetened beverage but no buffer for the rice carbs slamming into the blood stream

Interesting, because I made a russian tea using fresh orange slices, lemon slices and used monk fruit to sweeten. After drinking a small glass, my body seemed confused as if it was having a negative reaction to the drink as I would act from sugar. I didnt feel great but didnt feel as sick as I do from sugar.

Poorly designed study since you cannot directly attribute the effect on monkfruit sugar alone since the subjects were given rice. Obviously, an hour after monkfruit ingestion when the blood sugar did not spike is a monkfruit effect alone. It obviously will not protect you from a sugar spike after ingestion of a high carb food. Like I said, poor study design.

How much monk fruit sweetener was in the monk fruit drink? Isn’t monk fruit extract 250 to 300 times ‘sweeter’ than sugar? I wonder if they used the same amount of monk fruit sweetener as they did sugar.

Well if you eat Rice for lunch you can expect a spike in glucose level. It has nothing to do with Monk Fruit or Cane Sugar. Dont eat rice ever. Is this a Rice commercial?

Clinical studies are important in order to separate facts from fiction, but they also need to be good studies. This study’s method was poor. The spikes that were shown don’t prove anything because they were measured after a lunch of fried rice. Rice is a carbohydrate that will spike your blood sugar. That’s about the equivalent of giving the first group sugar for breakfast, the second the substitute sugars and then for lunch giving everyone a sugar lunch and wondering why everybody’s glucose levels went up after lunch. Duh!

There is a huge fault in the experiment you used fried rice as the meal lol, obviously there blood sugar will spike. The difference is the glucose in the sugar only raised it so high because the liver converted the rest into fat. Obviously its very straight forward as evidence in the first hour where the monk fruit did nothing to to blood sugar. Sorry to say glucose is pure crap as a building block for your body. Don’t get attached to an idea like glucose is healthy just because we have been eating it for 5,000 years. Look at what poor nutrition did to the dna markers of all asians you all have high blood pressure cholesterol issues diabetes come on.

This is not conclusive. Since monk fruit don't cause blood glucose spike, why not have the test subject just eat the rice and compare it with the monk fruit instead? Or have the process reverse taking rice first and then the drink? The experiment you mention is just too vague to draw any conclusion.

Dr we need better studies - the results seem very out of line - who puts 16 tea spoons of sugar or any sweetener in a drink - i can imagine it would tak a very long time to normalize the body after such an assault - maybe they should have used the monk fruit first and at normal levels - i find monk fruit to be so strong that half a tea spoon is enough to sweeten a espresso - the sugar should have been taken next at a point when the all the effects of the first substance have completely worn off - people are catching on to the whole sugar scam and are looking for solutions - its natural for interested parties to create doubt and confusion in the hopes of bringing people back under their influence

They shd also have done a simple test with no rice involved. Only MonkFruit versus sugar. As well, it wd have been more thorough if Insulin levels was also measured alongside blood glucose. What a poorly conducted test. Was it designed to 'fail' ? Who funded this test?
@ndungakoforbinake1321

The main limitation is the absence of insulin level measurements The caveat for those who took the sweetened drink may have been due to high insulin levels, which better controlled subsequent sugar spikes following the rice consumption. Or Taking carbs with Monk Fruit sweetener accentuates the glucose spikes Good Study

to be fair ther must be insulin test induced , becuse monk fruit do not trigger insulin so when eating rice insuline is low and need time to flow in blood but when drinking table sugar isulin already in blood and it reduces the spike of glucose when eating rice, and if test is done for rice only without drink then the spike will be same as with monk friut

Okay, so they need to test this with something like a sweet potato to see if the reaction is the same with a different type of carb and then try with a low carb food like a spinach avocado salad and see what the result is for that. So for now I guess don't eat mung fruit with a high carb food and if you do, test your blood sugar levels before and after.

Dr Chan. 🙏🏾 for sharing the research. it helps me out on my thought process. I know nutritional science is evolving. I feel today we know so little, but definitely more than my parents generation. I remember my parents thinking direct starch and sugar increase blood sugar, when we know it affects insulin production today which affects blood sugar! personally I feel any kind of sweetener is bad because of its addictive quality. I have reduced enormously The amount of sugar n starch I eat. It Has to be special to be worthy of poisoning my body. Sometimes I treat myself to a very expensive slice of bread or a pastry as a reward. No more junky on sale grocery bakeries! Me in the past could guzzle down copious amounts of soda without a thought. Today I find it so cloyingly sweet that I can only handle a few sips. I like where I am now because I don’t give into my addiction for sugar or starch.

When the participants had the sugar drink it cased an insulin spike so when they ate the rice the insulin was already working so the rice did not cause as large of a blood glucose spike as when they had the monk fruit drink. The monk fruit dink did not case an insulin spike so when the participants ate the rice there would be a larger blood glucose spike from the rice until the insulin brought the glucose levels down. I don't understand why you would use this study as an example. Please explain.
