Wouldn't this have the same problem as other non-sugar sweeteners? I think one of the main arguments against Aspartame is that it still invokes an insulin response, so still has a lot of the negative side effects of sugar intake, even if it doesn't have calories.

There is little supported evidence that aspartame causes any meaningful insulin response.
