Having Artificial Sweeteners Won't Help Lose Weight

According to new study shows that having artificial sweeteners can be more problematic than the artificial sweeteners. As per the study, brain’s reward the system is highly activated. Now when the body receives a sugary solution rather than artificial sweeteners then it can be more dangerous than the real sugar. The lead researcher, Ivan de Araujo from Yale University School of Medicine USA, explains the research, “According to the data, when we apply substances that interfere with a critical step of the 'sugar-to-energy pathway', the interest of the animals in consuming artificial sweetener decreases significantly, along with important reductions in brain dopamine levels. This is verified by the fact that when hungry mice - who thus have low sugar levels - are given a choice between artificial sweeteners and sugars, they are more likely to completely switch their preferences towards sugars even if the artificial sweetener is much sweeter than the sugar solution.”
