Saccharin and Weight Gain

Artificial sweeteners such as Splenda and Sweet' low N have been popular for decades, as a way to enjoy drinks and sugary foods and not take the weight associated with sugar. Paradoxically, obesity has been regularly climbing in our country since the beginning of the 1980s to today. During this period the prevalence of obesity in adults 20-74 years doubled from 15% to 31%.


A recent study by Purdue University tested the theory that eating the substitutes of sugar instead of the real thing can actually lead to gain weight instead of lose weight. While scientists have studied rats, the question was: artificial sweeteners would be one of the reasons for the increase in obesity in humans?


The study used, the oldest of all artificial sweeteners saccharin. It was invented in 1879. Yogurt of rats fed researchers that either with sugar or saccharin sweet.


The study showed that rats fed with yogurt sweetened with sugar did not eat as much as the rats fed artificially sweetened yogurt. The principle is that eating of true sugar triggers a response that allows the body to know that the real calories are consumed. In turn, rat feels satisfied after eating.

During this time, the rats that ate the artificially sweetened yoghurt do not have this response to being satisfied with the amount of food consumed. They ate, which caused their weight and fat body.


To cite the Purdue study,


"Our findings and theoretical framework is closer in agreement with the possibility that increased intake of non-calorie sugar substitutes could promote increased of intake and body weight gain, which is consistent with recent data of prospective clinical studies which have documented an increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in people who eat". "of drinks sweetened with high-intensity sweeteners.

Many people with diabetes uses foods with artificial sweeteners because sweeteners do not count as a carbohydrate. This can allow more people a variety of foods to enjoy, while still remaining in their carb attribution.


Thus, they are for people with diabetes supposed to do? Today, sugar is not the enemy, he was once in the management of diabetes. Doctors used to feel that eating sugar would be dope too fast and too high blood glucose levels.


The current view of sugar is metabolized at the same pace as carbohydrates and they may be part of your total carbohydrates for the day. Your total daily carbohydrate of budgeting and have a small portion of a favorite dessert with real sugar is not a bad thing. Number of foods that contain artificial sweeteners eventually have more fat calories that they had then been of sugars, anyway.


Artificial sweeteners is perhaps not so beneficial for weight loss as previously thought. Incorporating appropriate portions of real sugar in your diet can help weight loss and could ultimately be more satisfactory.
