I’ve just read a report by the Health Sciences Institute ( http://www.thehealthierlife.co.uk/ ) which basically state that artificial sweeteners can make you fat ! They list many studies that show artificial sweeteners do NOT promote weight loss in fact the reverse can take place as they can promote insulin release which takes glucose out of your blood and makes you hungry . Other studies show problems as well .
