I posted the abstract and "key Points" from a very interesting study for discussion on today's blog. It seems that are brain/body are preprogrammed to know that there should be a certain number of calories with each level of sweetness in our food. So when Dean eats or drinks something sweet my brain/body says " hey there should be a lot of calories with this so slow down, not too much chubs" and then I go and start using artificial sweetners to reduce the calories in an attempt to loose weight or just not get any bigger. Well it looks like our brain/body has figured out what we have done and it is in charge and says I need more calories , so we eat more and ultimately gain even more weight than before the start of artificial sweeteners. So what is the answer " Whole foods" get back to eating whole foods, preferably without real sugar, definitely with out artificial sweeteners and definitely without HFCS. There are some good studies that say if you get the correct balance of protein/fat/carbs at each meal for your unique body you will eliminate your brain/body sugar cravings. What do you think?
P.S. I think even the great stevia falls into this category.
