There are glucose receptors all through the body -- on the tongue, of course, but also in the brain, in the gut, in the liver, in the stomach, etc.
Anything that tastes sweet will trigger these receptors, causing that part of the body to respond and become ready for caloric input.
This often (but not always -- e.g. fructose) results in an insulin response from the pancreas, or some other hormone response that controls energy homeostasis.
Avoiding sweeteners of all types not only improves health and body composition, but it has an interesting side effect: the brain and tongue re-calibrate, allowing you to taste the sweetness of things like potatoes, which is drowned out by the high levels of sugar in the modern Western diet.
Having given up sweeteners over a year ago, now everything tastes a little sweet to me if it has any starch or glucose or fructose in it at all. You can notice this effect after only about three weeks of no sweeteners. But you have to avoid almost anything with a bar code on it, as manufacturers add sugar to almost anything these days, from ketchup to salad dressing.
The take-home here is that no matter what Coca Cola uses to make the water sweet, it will still promote obesity, diabetes, and inflammation.
You are better off avoiding any of their products. They are not food. :-)

I'm aware they can lead to insulin release, but I'd be surprised if they release enough to lead to insulin resistance?--
Mind you, there is room to discuss whether the amounts released are active enough to change fat metabolism for the worse..On 11 September 2017 19:34:27 GMT+01:00, Nathan McCorkle <nmz787@gmail.com> wrote:On Sun, Sep 10, 2017 at 9:26 PM, a a <haitathefoolish@gmail.com> wrote:This is because current artificial sweeteners are very bad for you- exactly
why Coca-Cola wants an alternative.
natural non-caloric sweeteners still elicit an insulin response, and
you can still become insulin resistant while sucking them down
