    People who use an artificial sweetener may be at greater risk of obesity than those who use normal sugar, American scientists warned yesterday. Researchers raised concerns after experiments with animals showed they ate more food and put on more fat if saccharin was part of their diet. The researchers believe that zero-calorie artificial sweeteners may disrupt the body's ability to associate sweet tastes with high calories. This could make it harder for people to regulate their food intake, so they over-eat.

    just stick to sugar, nature's own sliming aid :p
