In today's era, when people are engaged in weight loss race or are struggling with diabetes, the use of artificial sweetener or 'sugar substitute' has become quite common. People consider it a healthy option for sugar, but recently a new study has pointed to some serious side effects. According to this research, artificial sweeteners can not only increase appetite but can also increase weight rather than losing weight.
University of Southern California By researchers of Nature Metabolism According to a study published in a journal called Artificial Sweeter – especially Suculty – The brain affects the hunger controller system. This study observed that Sucralose activates a brain region called hypothalamus, which controls hunger in the body. This effect was more pronounced especially in overweight people.
A total of 75 participants were included in this research, whose body weight was different. These participants were given three types of drinks-Sada water, sucrose-rich drinks and sugar-rich drinks. After this, the activity of his brain was scanned. The results showed that the consumption of sucrose increased the activation in the brain to control the appetite, especially among those who already suffered obesity. This suggests that Sucralose can increase the longing of eating.
Sucralose is a highly sweet artificial sweetener, usually used in products such as diet soda, baked products and chewing gum. It is about 600 times more sweet than sugar, but it does not contain calories. It may sound healthy to hear, but its sweetness confuses the brain.
When the body feels sweetness, he assumes that it will get calories. But when the expected calories are not found, the brain increases appetite to maintain that balance and produces more food. This is the reason why people inadvertently eat more and rather increase weight rather than losing weight.
According to Dr. Cathleen Alana Page, the lead researcher of this study, “Artificial sweetener -like sucrosers cheat brain. When sweetness is found but calories do not come, the brain starts to give more food. This behavior can change food habits over time and can cause weight gain.”
They believe that regular use of artificial sweeteners can be harmful for those who are already struggling with weight loss or diabetes.
The findings of this research clearly state that artificial sweeteners are not completely safe. Although these may be the option of sugar, their side effects cannot be ignored. Especially people struggling with obesity and metabolic problems should use them carefully.
So next time you put artificial sweetener in tea, coffee or a diet drink, think if it is really better for your health? It may not increase your calories, but definitely increase hunger.
