A news that will appeal to those who love sweeteners: it seems that not all sweeteners come to harm, and, although there have been studies that correlate the use of sweeteners, natural or artificial, with zero calories, with an increase in appetite, a sweetener in particular, namely sucralose, on the contrary, would have the power to reduce the habitual consumer’s appetite, inducing him to eat less .

The new study contradicts a precedent in which it was said that sweeteners were linked to an increase in appetite: according to researchers at the Scripps Research Institute , in collaboration with the University of Southern California , sucralose actually has a dual action that would explain conflicting data.
Those who use it habitually tend to eat less.
Those who stop using it tend to eat much more than before, due to a compensation phenomenon that researchers are not yet able to explain in detail.

The limitation of these studies seems to me evident when one appeals to the interpretation of facts, rather than to the facts themselves: this is especially true in studies that link sweeteners to appetite and body weight using non-human subjects as samples , but fruit flies and laboratory guinea pigs.
However, what many experts agree on is that sweeteners act on hunger hormones, as well as on insulin: this would explain on the one hand the attitude to eat less with sucralose, on the other hand the increase in appetite if you go back to using normal sugar.
