Artificial Sweeteners & Weight Loss
In theory, artificial sweeteners help weight
loss by providing lower calorie food products but in practice have been
thought to increase appetite and perhaps lead to increased weight gain
compared with high-sucrose foods. A recent trial demonstrated that dieters
supplementing their diets with artificially sweetened foods lost weight,
whereas dieters consuming high-sucrose foods gained weight. This review
sheds some light on the controversy regarding the effects of artificial
sweeteners in weight loss and body weight control.
