This is a great story:
Artificial sweeteners tied to obesity, Type 2 diabetes
Diet pop and other artificially sweetened products
may cause us to eat and drink even more calories and increase our risk for obesity and Type 2 diabetes,
researchers are learning.
Former McGill University researcher Dana Small specializes in the neuropsychology of flavour and feeding at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Small said there's mounting evidence that artificial sweeteners have a couple of problematic effects. Sugar substitutes such as sucralose and aspartame are more intensely sweet than sugar and may rewire taste receptors so less sweet, healthier foods aren't as enjoyable, shifting preferences to higher calorie, sweeter foods, she said.
