Its because those artificial sweeteners are sweeter than real sugar, causing you to get hungrier. If you can fight the cravings you win.

Don't be using them Sweet N' Low packets now ya hear?

Hardly anything uses saccharin anymore. They should have done this study with aspartame, sucralose, and stevia.

I don't like the taste of hardly any artificial sweeteners.

Well, if their reasoning is sound, it doesn't seem like it would matter which one it is.

So, is it better for me to sweeten my iced tea with Sweet 'n Low or Equal?

 

[Jeff7]

This looks familiar.....

Both articles feature pictures of people using Sweet'n'Low. I smell a slander lawsuit! :Q

How about "Sugar"? I hear it's the new craze in sweetening your beverages and treats.

I think it wouldn't be a problem if people were eating healthy, low calorie, high nutrition foods.

Doesn't dissolve, just sits on the bottom.

When it comes to drinks, I prefer the taste of artificial sweetener. Whether it comes to sweetening tea or getting a soda, I prefer artificial sweetness purely for the flavor.

I actually can't stand it.. It kind of tastes metallic to me. However, Splenda is alright, I'll use that without complaining.

You know, we found the primary cause of obesity decades ago:

Stop eating so goddam much, and go for a walk.

So...seen any studies on what high fructose corn syrup does lately? :laugh:

I've been a heavy user of artificial sweeteners for nearly 2 decades. Splenda is far and away my favorite, though I've used them all at some point.
