Even wat losse quotes:
Xylitol is a low-glycemic sweetener. It is metabolized independently of insulin and is slowly absorbed. Therefore, when xylitol is consumed, the rise in blood glucose and insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose is significantly reduced. Xylitol does not cause the sharp increase in blood sugar level or the associated serum insulin response, which is usually seen following consumption of other carbohydrates. Thus, Xylitol can be recommended as a sugar-free sweetener suitable for diabetics as well as for the general population seeking a healthier lifestyle.

There is some evidence that aspartame may aggravate insulin resistance over time
http://www.boltondrug.com/sp_diabetes_Diet_Lifestyle.asp
Maltitol is a sugar free sweetner in crystal form that is categorized as a "sugar alcohol", can be used in cooking and baking, and has a taste remarkably similar to sucrose. For that reason, it is used often in sweets, including sugarless hard candies, chewing gum, chocolates, baked goods and ice cream. Because it is slowly absorbed, the rise in blood glucose and the insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose is significantly reduced.

The sugar alcohols of low-carb bars, such as sorbitol, maltitol and lactitol, also trigger less of an insulin response than refined carbs. They aren't absorbed as quickly or as thoroughly, so less sugar enters the bloodstream at once and less insulin is needed to break it down. http://www.reflector.com/featr/newsfd/auto/feed/features/2003/10/09/1065707829.19830.5560.5096.html;COXnetJSessionID=11Zn6HrilJj4YX9bDSxmXxizw2UeAfat9r2CbFMICPWkn8iSDMFB!-687676621?urac=n&urvf=10730273679550.22402413648418296
en dan nog 1 verwijzing naar aspartaam:
Second, it is tempting to think this increased hunger produced by consuming asparatme is due to "anticipatory" changes in insulin levels, which is termed the "cephalic phase insulin response". However, the evidence is against it. The best paper on this topic is by my colleague, Karen Teff (Teff, K.L., Devine, J., and Engelman, K. Sweet taste: effect on cephalic phase insulin release in men. Physiol Behav 57: 1089-95, 1995).
