Artificial Sweeteners Decrease Weight, Body Fat, and Blood Pressure $BlogItemSubject"; $newslink[$countera]="http://www.medjournal.com/blog/archives/2002_10_01_nutritionarchive.php#85516081"; ?>
This study looked at 41 overweight men and women, and divided them into two groups. One group drank regular beverages (containing sucrose; the sucrose supplement group) and the other drank beverages containing artificial (zero calorie) sweeteners (the artificial sweetener supplement group). Those in the artificial sweetener supplement group after 10 weeks had a lower body weight, lower body fat, and a lower blood pressure compared to the sucrose group. Comment: This study suggests that drinking diet pop (if you drink pop at all) has significant benefits over drinking regular pop in terms of blood pressure, body weight, and body fat.
