Hu...I see, yes... maybe you're right about that.... Humans would most likely not eliminate all sugar from their diet and consume only artificial sweetened stuff and then re-introduce sugar.... So, in that sense, the experiment doesn't mimic real. <BR/>As I mentioned, other studies done on humans have shown that those that ate more artificial sweetener tended to be heavier than those that didn't.

Now that they are being fed both the sweetener and the high calorie snacks maybe their body will adjust and recognize that sugary foods are high in calories? though not as much as the rats that are being fed sugar water and high calorie snacks.Jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097754008811003973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170197786193128010.post-73512718173859227992008-02-14T17:55:00.000-05:002008-02-14T17:55:00.000-05:00Hi Jme, I'm sorry but I don't think I understand y...Hi Jme, <BR/>I'm sorry but I don't think I understand your comment. <BR/>Are you saying that if you now feed the heavier rats that were used to artificial sweetener regular sugar, they would lose weight?Sybil Hebert, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254199611960976605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170197786193128010.post-75370851463748999842008-02-14T13:04:00.000-05:002008-02-14T13:04:00.000-05:00Well if the rats on sweetener learned that sweet f...Well if the rats on sweetener learned that sweet foods are NOT high in calories then it should be fairly easy to extend the study and see if having access to sweet and high calorie snacks reverses this in any way. Like if there is a balance somewhere between the immediate affects and what their behaviour would be if they had access to the high calorie snacks more often.Jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097754008811003973noreply@blogger.com
