Summary
New research from Cambridge reveals that everyday sweeteners may disrupt gut bacteria — not just alone, but especially when combined with caffeine or meds. Scientists tested 39 sweeteners on 24 gut strains, uncovering over 100 interactions that alter bacterial growth. One common sweetener, isosteviol, notably slowed key digestive bacteria — even more so when paired with the antidepressant duloxetine. While lab results don’t equal human health outcomes, the findings underscore how complex our food’s effects can be — and why what we eat matters more than ever.
