Do you use a little Equal in your coffee every morning because you think cutting back on sugar will cut your waistline? Well, if you are, you should stop. These no-calorie sweeteners may actually be making you gain weight.
A recent study found that artificial sweeteners "might actually foster weight gain by confusing the body in a way that makes it harder to burn calories."
By conducting tests on two groups of rats, the study found that the group of rats that received yogurt with saccharine went on to consume more calories, gain more weight and put on more body fat.
What do you think about this study? If you use artificial sweeteners, do you think it has affected your weight?
