Welcome to the world of sugar free joy!
Low Carb Sugar-Free Sweets & Cakes
Artinci was born out of Aarti's and Sumit's (Artinci's founders) abiding love for great-tasting dessert, while helping them stay committed to their health goals as well. As a result, Artinci makes delicious desserts with zero sugar, that are science and evidence-backed.
Aarti and Sumit come from a family of three generations of diabetics. They were themselves diagnosed pre-diabetic in 2012, and right there began a lifelong quest of a healthy, active lifestyle, including healthy swaps in food

All about Sugar and sugar-free
H1: Sugar's Hidden Link to Dementia: What Science Proves Large-scale studies tie excessive sugar—especially free forms like fructose—to doubled dementia rates and onset 7 years earlier.Mechanisms include brain insulin resistance (type 3 diabetes) and beta-amyloid plaques from hyperglycemia.For diabetes educators in India, this underscores swapping mithai for stevia sweets amid rising cases. UK Biobank Mega-Analysis 210k adults: High total sugar patterns independently hike dementia hazard (HR>1.2), free sugars strongest driver.158k genetic subset: Sugar amplifies polygenic risk, no escape via genes alone—dose-response clear.Implication: Festive chai/juice binges compound vascular damage in South Asians. Chicago Health Aging Project 789 elders: Top sugar quartile faced 2x Alzheimer's risk, onset 7.1 years premature vs. lowest intake.Sucrose (desserts) and fructose (sodas) pinpointed; adjusted for APOE4, calories, exercise.Relates to prediabetic memory fog from daily rasgulla. Dose and Subtype Risks Free/added sugars impair global cognition (effect size 0.2-0.5 SD) via tau pathology.Non-free also contribute; genetic high-risk + high-sugar worst per 2025 data.Indian context: Hidden sugars in namkeen double midlife threat. Study Cohort Size Main Result Adjusted Risk UK Biobank 210k Free sugars ↑ incidence HR 1.1-1.5 Chicago Aging 789 Top intake → early AD 2x odds, -7.1 yrs Genetic UKB 158k Additive with genes Independent effect Cognition Meta Reviews Sugars ↓ memory 0.2-0.5 SD drop https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12501338/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2274580725002547 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2274580725002559 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37694364/
Artificial Sweeteners Risk Brain Aging & Cognitive Decline
Artificial sweeteners like aspartame and saccharin are linked to accelerated cognitive decline, with high intake mimicking 1.6 years of brain aging per recent studies. Risks are heightened in diabetes and under-60s, aligning with your preference for stevia and monk fruit over sucralose. Key Study Findings High consumers (191mg/day, ~1 diet soda) showed 62% faster global cognition drop, plus verbal fluency and memory deficits over 8 years in 13,000 Brazilians.Middle intake (66mg) equated to 1.3 years aging; diabetes amplified memory loss via vulnerability.Aspartame, acesulfame-K, saccharin implicated; tagatose spared, but observational data urges caution. Mechanisms of Harm Sweeteners may induce inflammation, oxidative stress, or gut dysbiosis altering brain signaling.Midlife exposure hits verbal fluency hardest in <60s; no effect over 60s suggests cumulative damage.In India, common in diet drinks/gums, they compound metabolic risks for neurodegenerative paths. Diabetes-Specific Risks Diabetes triples decline rate with sweeteners, worsening Alzheimer's-like insulin resistance.Your monk fruit focus (zero spike, gut-friendly) avoids this, unlike sucralose you've phased out. Safer Alternatives Stevia/erythritol show no such links; monk fruit supports cognition without insulin impact.Prioritize whole fruits, spices; limit all to <50mg/day per emerging guidelines. Sweetener Type Daily Intake Example Cognitive Risk Level Notes for Diabetes Aspartame/Saccharin 1 diet soda (200-300mg) High (62% faster decline) Avoid; amplifies memory loss Acesulfame-K Gum/candies Moderate-High Gut disruption possible Stevia/Monk Fruit Teas/desserts Low Preferred; no aging acceleration Tagatose Rare use None observed Emerging safe option https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250903/Study-links-high-intake-of-artificial-sweeteners-to-faster-cognitive-decline.aspx https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOOSKn1jK5l/ https://esmed.org/impact-of-artificial-sweeteners-on-brain-health-in-india/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40902134/
Cut Added Sugars for Sharper Brain Aging | Diabetes Tips
H1: Slash Added Sugars to Safeguard Your Brain from Premature Aging Excess added sugars fuel brain inflammation, insulin resistance, and hippocampal shrinkage, mimicking accelerated aging seen in diabetes.Cutting intake to under 25g daily can reverse epigenetic markers of cognitive decline within months.For Indian audiences loving chai and mithai, these swaps blend tradition with science for lasting brain vitality. Why Sugar Harms Cognitive Aging Chronic sugar spikes cross the blood-brain barrier, promoting amyloid plaques and tau tangles like in Alzheimer's.In diabetes, this "type 3 diabetes" effect doubles dementia risk; studies link 50g+ daily to 2 years faster brain aging.Antioxidant-rich, low-sugar diets restore neuroplasticity, vital for memory and focus in midlife. Read Labels Like a Pro Hidden sugars lurk in ketchups (4g/tbsp), yogurts, and namkeen—scan for "added sugars" under 5g/serving.Indian tip: Swap packaged rasgulla mixes for homemade stevia versions; apps like HealthifyMe track seamlessly.Weekly audits cut 30g effortlessly, sharpening recall without deprivation. Smart Beverage Overhauls Ditch sweetened chai (10g/cup) and colas for jeera water, green tea, or nimbu pani with monk fruit drops.One study showed this swap boosts BDNF (brain growth factor) by 20%, aiding neuron repair.Limit to 1 festive lassi weekly—your hippocampus thanks you. Whole Fruits Over Juices Guava or papaya provide fiber-blunted fructose, unlike sugarcane juice spikes harming prefrontal cortex.Pair with almonds for steady energy; avoid canned fruits with syrups common in kirana stores.This habit stabilizes mood, curbing sugar cravings rooted in dopamine dysregulation. Home-Cooked Thali Mastery Control ingredients with millet-dal sabzi thalis, skipping ready-to-eat high-fructose mixes.Bake ragi jowar cookies sweetened naturally; batch-prep curbs street chaat temptations.Reduces glycation end-products (AGEs) that stiffen brain vessels. Plate Balance Blueprint Every meal: ½ veggies/fiber, ¼ protein (paneer/tofu), ¼ complex carbs like quinoa khichdi.Adds satiety, preventing blood sugar rollercoasters that fog cognition.Post-meal 10-min walks enhance brain glucose uptake by 30%. Natural Sweetener Revolution Stevia, erythritol, or jaggery minima in kheer/halwa maintain rasas while dodging neuroinflammation.Test in Diwali besan laddoos—taste identical, brain benefits exponential.Preserves cultural joy without telomere shortening. Routine and Frequency Fixes Eat every 4 hours; cap treats to Sundays with portioned barfi (under 10g sugar).Incorporate MIND diet staples: berries, walnuts over biscuits.Breaks addiction cycles, fostering long-term hippocampal volume gains. Brain-Boosting Add-Ins Daily turmeric latte, walnuts (omega-3s), and fermented curd protect against oxidative stress.Berry chaat with no sugar rivals any mithai for antioxidants.Synergizes sugar cuts for 1-2 year "younger" brain age per studies. Track Your Transformation Log via journal: mood, focus, fasting glucose—aim <100 mg/dL for optimal cognition.Simple home tests like digit span recall measure wins; consult endocrinologist for CGM insights.Expect clearer thinking in 2 weeks, sustained youthfulness lifelong. https://lonestarneurology.net/others/how-sugar-and-processed-foods-affect-neurological-health/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10780393/ https://health.yahoo.com/wellness/nutrition/healthy-eating/articles/1-food-limit-reduce-risk-000000409.html
