This strengthens my 'feeling', that everything artificial/unnatural is bad (when it comes to food), one way or the other...
and that we just need enough time, to see that it is so.

Bad news for those that think they can slurp down "calorie free" drinks and not gain any weight from it. Scientists at Purdue University have discovered that lab models actually end up consuming more calories when artificial sweeteners are consumed than when natural sweeteners are consumed. In a series of experiments, scientists at Purdue University compared weight gain and eating habits in rats whose diets were supplemented with sweetened food containing either zero-calorie saccharin or sugar.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/02/zero-calorie-su.html">"The studies suggest artificial sweeteners somehow disrupt the body's
ability to regulate incoming calories. It's still a bit of a mystery
why they are overeating, but we definitely have evidence that the
animals getting artificially sweetened yogurt end up eating more
calories than the ones getting calorically sweetened yogurt."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7A9114B6-7DE0-466B-AFC9-196BCE482559/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
