What if some of the ingredients we consume every day deserve a closer look?

Research has found associations between artificial sweetener consumption and certain health concerns, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. That doesn’t prove they cause these conditions, but I believe the questions are worth asking.

At Corn Crib, we believe what you put into your body matters. That’s why we’re going to continue being intentional about the ingredients in the products we carry.

You don’t have to wait until something is proven harmful to start making more thoughtful choices.

Some things aren’t about the money

Not all sweeteners affect the body the same way. 👀

A 2022 randomized controlled trial followed 120 healthy adults and found that different non-nutritive sweeteners produced distinct changes in the gut microbiome. Saccharin and sucralose also impaired glucose responses in the study.

But here’s an important distinction: stevia was included in that same trial, and the results were not the same for every sweetener.

A separate 2024 human study found that consuming stevia for 12 weeks did not significantly change gut microbiome composition.

The takeaway? We shouldn’t assume all sweeteners have the same effects. The ingredients matter, and so does the research.

Artificial sweeteners are everywhere, but how much do we really know about their effects on our health? 👀

In this 3-part series, we’re breaking down the research, the concerns, and why this is something we take seriously at Corn Crib.

Part 1 starts the conversation. Stay tuned for Part 2!

Bad night of sleep? Your first thought is probably MORE CAFFEINE ☕️

But what if creatine could help support your brain when you’re running on less sleep? 🧠

Recent research has found some pretty interesting effects of creatine on cognitive performance during sleep deprivation.

No, creatine is NOT a replacement for sleep. But it may have benefits that go far beyond the gym.
