Which artificial sweeteners do that? Sounds interesting
I have never heard this before and I'm pretty sure it's nonsense.
Maybe, maybe not. More research is needed.

There are also artificial sweeteners that are toxic to dogs even in small quantities, but humans can eat them all day with no ill effects. And it's not about body mass either, because humans might be say 2x the body mass of a dog, but we can eat 10 times the quantity and be fine.
Saying that a particular compound has an effect in laboratory test animals isn't really anywhere close to saying that it might be the same in humans, there is plenty of precedents to be said that it probably won't work like that.
Figured the same lol, so much misinformation on sweeteners
I figure they're probably safe and certainly not more harmful than sugar.
They just taste wank.
Heard from sci show that they make you crave sugar more since they are stronger than real sugar. Also, they make your intestines absorb more sugar since the sugar receptors get clogged trying to absorb the artificial stuff and they pull more. That second one probably doesn't affect you very much though.
This is only true on a per-weight basis - which is why they use a lot less of it to obtain the same degree of sweetness.
This is an amazing chunk of nonsense you should actually be congratulated for.
Because it's nonsense.
I think it's just sugar. At least I've heard that sweet things can kind of bypass your satiety. Most of us know the feeling of being full, but "having a bit of room for dessert"
For starters number one on the list, fructose corn syrup is specifically engineered just for those reasons. "Eating More"
"Artificial sweetener" usually means something that stimulates your taste buds like sugar but cannot be metabolically processed for energy like sugar. HFCS is still actually sugar.
Ah, not really a thing here in Europe :) Lucky for us haha
It's called glucose-sucrose syrup and it is legal in the EU. You do have it you just call it something else. I can also be called isoglucose
Yeah it is legal just not really used except in products from the US like bbq sauce haha
