    This question is related to Diet Coke. Why? Because we all know that we won't find sugar in diet coke, but it is still sweet because of those artificial sweeteners that are used in it's composition and I am wondering if they fool our bodies into thinking they are sugar resulting in an insulin spike. Can someone give me some information on this topic?

    No they don't that's why they are artificial. They don't give the same effect on the body the same sugar does. That's another reason why they are recommended to diabetics. They only have the same function for the sense of taste, other than that they don't come similar with each other.
