    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.
