I've always thought that artificial sweetners tend to encourage a sweet tooth in people and that could lead indirectly to more sugar intake. We decided long ago that whilst we wouldn't avoid artificial sweetners, we'd try to keep added sugar out of the children's food. The result is that they never have added sugar on cereal, happily drink unsweetened tea and are well into their teens without a single filling in their teeth.

Nah, it's because they move about slower. I reckon if you were going to be 'tracking' people for 9 years you'd want to focus on the elderly too.
