    Artificial sweeteners increase calories, weight, fat, decrease calorie compensation & thermogenesis

    Rats that were first fed artificial sweeteners, then later switched to food sweetened with sugar, did not reduce their calorie intake whereas rats feed food sweetened with sugar from the beginning according to an article by Susan Swithers, PhD from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana as noted by Tracy Hampton in an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

    Artificial sweeteners may disrupts the body’s ability to accurate assess calorie intake

    “Scientists agree that while intensely sweet low-calorie sugar substitutes help lower the energy density of beverages and foods [ that is, fewer calories for a given quantity of food ] , these products also uncouple sweetness and energy, which may disrupt the body’s ability to accurately assess caloric intake,” Tracy Hampton notes in an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
