This has been discussed many times on this board.
Sweater comprises of 2 amino acids, which have been proven time and time again to be safe, yet Americana are paranoid to death of it.
There's was a test done on mice years ago, supposedly the mice developed cancerous cells, leading to the biggest logical fallacy surrounding it.
Mice and humans are biologically different.
If you have a sweet tooth, sweetner is a Lower calorie option, it's completely safe.10 -

The mice also got the equivalent of something ridulous like 20 liter diet soda every single day of their lives starting from maturity.1 -

Exactly, and let's be honest anything in that amount will be inherently bad for you.2 -

The removal of aspartame made Diet Pepsi taste terrible. That alone should bw enough reason to support it.4

I don't think anything your body "cannot digest" could contribute to weight gain. Make your poos a little heavier, maybe.
In order for something to be stored as fuel (fat stores), it has to have fuel (calories) in the first place.1 -

What's her claim? I think she said that the study was ridiculous and what's worse is that many nutritionists think artificial sweeteners cause weight gain.4 -

Also, weren't the mice from a sub group that were bred to develop cancer more frequently making them a terrible group to test possible carcinogens on?0 -
How could something cause weight gain without being digested? Foods that are not digested are expelled as waste.2

I've never heard this. I think maybe you are confusing 'cause' with association. Statistically, people who drink diet drinks tend to weigh more. That in no way means that artificial sweeteners cause weight gain. More likely it means that overweight people tend to drink diet drinks to lose weight.2 -

It's because its trendy and will get hits. People rather believe something is bad, then recognize the countless amounts of studies that suggest otherwise. At this point in nutrition history, it's cool to say that anything that isn't from the earth is going to cause weight gain, even though it's 0 calories and made up of two natural occurring amino acids.1 -
It DOES NOT cause weight gain. It's not a drug nor does it have calories. You need excess calories to gain weight. Some may eat more because they sense that drinking a zero calorie drink has saved them room, but again, aspartame isn't the cause.healthy491 wrote: »There was a debate online , whether artificial sweeteners , especially aspartame cause weight gain or other issues as our body cannot digest it and stuff.

And our bodies digest it just fine (unless someone has PKU). Don't believe all the hype.

Most people believe that dieting is the best way to lose weight. And 90% can't maintain doing it.

There are plenty of anecdotal accounts of artificial sweeteners causing some issues for some people, but not weight gain.0
