Thank you Mate, that's some life changing research.

What percentage of insulin is released because of taste and what percentage because of blood glucose levels ?

Not going to go back into it but also read more or less recently is your digestive system has 'taste buds' but they are connected to the enteric nervous system. So that's another potential signaling pathway.

probably this is also why other natural sweeteners arent that widespread, since the problem is not the calories, but the actual sweetness
