Artificial sweetener use and one-year weight change among women.

Stellman SD, Garfinkel L.

" Weight

change over a 1-year period was examined in a homogeneous group

of 78,694 women ages 50-69 enrolled in a prospective mortality study. Increased

Artificial sweetener usage was associated with increased weight.

ie More artificial sweetener => GREATER Weight!!!

" Artificial sweetener Users were significantly more likely than nonusers to gain

weight "

, regardless of initial weight.

Artificial sweetener users Did Not lose more weight.

These results were not explained by differences

in food consumption patterns.

Long-term artificial sweetener use

Does Not help with weight loss

and

Does Not prevent weight gain.
