'Diet' foods weight gain puzzle

Yet another you cannot believe the experts AND there are no healthy foods article.
"Scientists from Purdue University in the US now believe that a sweet taste followed by no calories may make the body crave extra food.

Their research, published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience, found that rats fed sugar subsequently had lower appetites.

But nutritionists say that low-calorie sweeteners are still best for health.

Conventional wisdom says that, as part of a calorie controlled diet, artificial sweeteners can help people lose weight or keep it off.

But the Purdue study turns that wisdom on its head."

How unaware do you have to be to continuing believing in any of this nonsense?

"A spokesman for the British Nutrition Foundation said the study findings were 'interesting', but did not prove that artificial sweeteners could be counterproductive in dieting humans.

'This needs far more research - as studies in humans have shown that low-calorie sweeteners can help people lose weight.'"

Incidentally, why do you think people use diet foods, i.e., those with Calorie-free sweeteners?

Generally it is not because sugar was an appetite suppressant for them.

Stop the noise.

Listen to sense.

Live a better life.
