I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

A new study now shows that drinking beverages that contain non-nutritive sweeteners might contribute to weight gain because of an increase in food consumption. Studies with rats that ate foods or fluids containing non-nutritive sweeteners were connected to an increase in consumption of food, body weight gain, and fat accumulation compared to those who ate glucose-sweetened foods and fluids.
Saccharin, the most common sweetener used in the world, was fed to rats in yogurt. One group of rats were fed yogurt sweetened with 0.3% saccharin while the other groups was fed with yogurt sweetened with 20% glucose. Both groups also had 30 g of plain unsweetened yogurt on certain days of the experiment. Results show that the saccharin group ate an average of 50 calories per week more, gained around 10g more weight, and had much higher body fat levels compared to the glucose group.
Both mice and men relate sensory properties of food to the nutritive payload after eating in order to maintain energy levels. Regulation of energy can be disturbed when sweet foods do not turn into calories. Researchers theorize that saccharin affects the ability of sweet taste to evoke thermic responses and other physiological side effects to maintain energy balance.
