The tongue sends a signal to the hypothalamus that says, Hey, sugar is coming, get ready to metabolize it. The hypothalamus then sends a signal along the vagus nerve to the pancreas, saying, A sugar load is coming, get ready to release the insulin. If the sugar never comes because the soda is sweetened with, say, sucralose, your pancreas may still produce insulin , he claims (although other studies have shown no effects of non-caloric sweeteners on insulin production): The sweet taste alone can both stimulate appetite and insulin release, which drives energy storage. Fat cells have receptors for diet sweeteners on them, no one knows why He also pointed to one recent in vitro study in which human adipocyte (fat) tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were exposed to sucralose, which appeared to promote additional fat accumulation within cells, which researchers at George Washington University speculated may have resulted from increasing glucose entry into cells through increased activity of genes called glucose transporters
