Re: Unintended consequences

Artificial sweeteners cause weight gain

Quote:
...They gave different yoghurt to different groups of rats, some sweetened with sugar, and some with saccharin.

The saccharin-fed mice ate more calories, put on more fat, and gained more weight than their sugar-fed counterparts...
