Scientists have found out what the reason caused by the artificial sweetener hunger.
Australian scientists have found what is the main danger of sweeteners that many people use to reduce the number of calories consumed. It turned out that the artificial sweetener triggers overeating, contributes to hyperactivity and reduced sleep quality.
In the study, researchers conducted experiments on fruit flies, and then reproduced them on mice. Experiments have shown that the use of sweeteners contributes to the body of animal ties, which are responsible for the lack caloric intake of carbohydrates, i.e., a natural sugar.
In the end, the body underestimates the caloric content of food, which causes overeating. This was confirmed by experiments with flies and mice.
It is reported that experiments with flies were performed for five days. During this period, the insects increased the calorie consumption of their food by 30 percent. Similar results were obtained in experiments with mice that lasted about two weeks.
