Sitat:
Along with possible health concerns of sugar substitutes and caffeine overuse, the effectiveness of diet soda as a weight loss tool should also be considered.
Changing the food energy intake from one food will not necessarily change a person's overall food energy intake, or cause a person to lose weight. One study,[3] at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, reported by Sharon Fowler at the ADA annual meeting, actually suggested the opposite, where consumption of diet soda was correlated with weight gain. While Fowler did suggest that the undelivered expected calories from diet soda may stimulate the appetite, the correlation does not prove that consumption of diet soda caused the weight gain. The ADA has yet to issue an updated policy concerning diet soda.
An independent study by researchers with the Framingham Heart Study in Massachusetts, has turned up results which indicate that the consumption of diet soda correlates with increased metabolic syndrome. Of the 9,000 males and females studied, findings stated that 48% of the subjects were at higher risk for weight gain and elevated blood sugar. The researchers also acknowledged that diet soda drinkers were less likely to consume healthy foods, and that drinking diet soda flavored with artificial sweeteners more than likely increases cravings for sugar flavored sweets.[4]
Among individuals who drink several regular sodas per day, diet soda may be a better choice, according to a website on dieting.[5]
Animal studies suggest that artificial sweeteners cause body weight gain, theoretically because of a faulty insulin response, at least in cows and rats. Rats given sweeteners have steadily increased caloric intake, increased body weight, and increased adiposity (fatness).[6] Adding saccharin to the food of calves increases their body weight as well.[7]
Dette er jo ikke noe fasitsvar (og kunstig søtning gir ikke nødvendigvis vektøktning), men det er jo studier som tyder på at kunstig søtning kan øke behovet for mer søtt, kan ødelegge kroppens insulirespons, kan øke apetitten og dermed økt matinntak osv. Det er vel ikke nok forskning til å konkludere med at sånn er det, men siden det er 1.sept og greier skal jeg på "kunstig-søtning-detox" fra og med i dag. Fra nå av er det kun stevia og sukrin som er tillat for min del.
