Suppression of sweet sensing with glucose, but not aspartame, delays gastric emptying and glycemic response

Previously, we reported that oral stimulation with Gymnema sylvestre (GS), a plant that selectively suppresses sweet taste sensation in humans, delayed gastric emptying and glycemic response during and after oral glucose ingestion. It is unclear whether these responses are triggered by sweet taste sensing per se. We tested the hypothesis that the effects of sweet taste sensing involving a low-energy sweetener, aspartame, alters gastric emptying,...
