Peter Attia has covered this at some length.

>While an excess of alcohol sugars can cause gastrointestinal distress (e.g., if you overdo it on these you can get diarrhea), in most people they do not cause secretion of insulin from the pancreas due to their distinct chemical structure (see figure of their structures, above).

The same is true for the first group of non-sugar substitute sweeteners I mentioned (e.g., aspartame, saccharin, sucralose), with respect to the lack of insulin response. In addition to studies confirming this, I’ve also documented this in myself for xylitol (my personal favorite), aspartame (Equal), and sucralose (Splenda).

False, read TFA. It says the opposite -- there are effects on insulin secretion and resistance for aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. Only studies funded by the food industry say there is no effect.

What do you mean, false? The article makes a claim about the outcome of an experiment. He is making a different claim about the outcome of an experiment. What makes his false?

Not the aspartame specifically, but the phosphoric acid in (Diet) Coke can be quite soothing if you have a stomachache. Carbonation + phosphoric acid + a Gas-X or two will cure bloating very quickly... and very loudly :P
