Quotes About Sweeteners

People who regularly consume artificial sweeteners may find naturally sweet foods (like fruit) unappealing, and unsweet foods (like vegetables) intolerable. Artificial sweeteners may also cause insulin secretion, driving calories into fat cells and stimulating hunger.62 In addition, fat cells have been reported to contain sweet taste receptors—similar to those on the tongue. Artificial sweeteners may promote fat cell growth by stimulating these receptors or in other ways.
