[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally think they are healthy, all the studies that show that they aren’t just seem like bad studies to me. And stevia seems great. But I *swear* they increase my appetite. Even stevia. So I avoid them even though studies say they don’t have an impact on appetite. Maybe it’s a placebo thing. I just eat the sugar/honey/maple syrup. [/quote] Not placebo. There are studies that artificial sweeteners cause insulin response similar to regular sugar. higher insulins -> lower sugar -> increased appetite[/quote] +1 (Plus, I don't like the taste.) I just eat less sugar, but if I'm eating something that uses sugar, I use real sugar. It was easier to just cut out soda than drink diet soda, etc. It makes me more thoughtful about what sweet things I eat. [/quote]
