Sugar Substitutes
| Tue, 08-03-2004 - 7:59pm |
Recently I heard that sugar substitutes (like Splenda, etc.) can actually trigger a craving response in your system causing you to overeat.
Has anyone else heard the same or different? I've become a bit of a naturalist so I don't generally eat processed food anymore - if I do have sugar (which would only be in my coffee) it's raw. But I am curious to know if this is true.

Personally, I rarely use any sugar anyway. And when I need sweetener for something, I stick to the real thing, all natural and organic whenever possible. So for me, raw sugar, real fruit, or occasional honey. But as I said, rarely do I add anyway. Sounds like we share that in common: I just opt not to put artificial stuff into me.

Good luck!
