NBC-Sandiego.com - NBC 7/39 Special Reports - The Skinny On Splenda
While it has been known since its intrdocution that Splenda merely is not absorbed and "passes through you," the studies that suggest using it may actually backfire and cause weight gain are new to me.
"In a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, laboratory animals fed no-calorie artificial sweeteners showed signs of confused appetite. The animals became incapable of regulating their calorie intake, Katz said.
The makers of Splenda also criticize the weight-loss research, saying "a significant body of science does not support these findings, including studies in people.""
The article also has some news of lawsuits over claims that Splenda is natural.
Interesting read.
