New meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Obesity concludes that the body weight and glycemic control is useful when sugar sweetened beverages such as soft drinks and juices replacement drinks with artificial sweeteners. This conclusion is contrary to the claims of skeptics that the low-energy sweeteners encourage cultivation and that are associated with obesity.
The previous critical studies on this subject were that artificial sweeteners have a negative impact on body weight caused by obesity, which can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular problems. But these so-called studies have failed to prove a causal link. In fact, the National Register of weight control is labeled low-fat and non-calorie sweeteners as an important factor in the maintenance of reduced body weight. And rightly so.
Drinks with artificial sweeteners prevent weight gain by the body providing the sweetness of which is in need without the added calories. Last year, a study published in the journal Obesity also rejected the bizarre theory that artificial sweeteners stimulate cultivation. Compared to the water - which is the best for healthy hydration - the researchers found that people who drank beverages with artificial sweeteners lost weight more than those who drank only water. These results were statistically significant.
The latest analysis included studies in animals and control testing on a random basis. The researchers found that in most animal studies exposure to low energy sweeteners reduce weight. In controlled tests on a sample in humans has been shown to lead to low energy sweeteners relatively reduced weight.
This study does not deal with the different types of low-calorie sweeteners, although it must be pointed out a number of limiting factors.
First, one of the artificial sweetener aspartame, is safe for people with phenylketonuria, birth defect that causes accumulation of an amino acid called phenylalanine (found in aspartame) in the body. This condition is rare but serious.
Secondly, as far as the artificially sweetened foods, to which there is no real sugar does not mean you should eat more. As Dr. Ruth Kava, a nutritionist from the American Council on Science and Health, said earlier, "If diet fizzy drinks replace soda with sugar, eat 100 calories less, but if you eat 15 sugar-free cookies (which contain calories) instead two ordinary, probably not helping yourself.
