The Stomach Will Not Be Fooled!
An interesting article at TIME.com:
[N]ew research suggests that the body is not so easily fooled, and that sugar substitutes are no key to weight loss — perhaps helping to explain why, despite a plethora of low-calorie food and drink, Americans are heavier than ever.
I’ve seen similar stories linking artificial sweeteners to weight gain; but what struck me about this article is that it involves testing animals. It would be easy to explain why people who use artificial sweeteners can still gain weight—they could simply be rationalize they can eat more (I know I’ve done it)—but if tests on animals produce the same results, it suggests the problem is physical more than mental. And this intrigues me a great deal.
