"Sweeteners: A Weight-Friendly Alternative to Sugar"

A new study presented at the European Congress on Obesity suggests that replacing sugar with low or no-calorie sweeteners could aid weight management without increasing the risk of diabetes or heart disease. The research found that adults using sweeteners experienced greater diet satisfaction, improved mood, and reduced cravings for sweet foods. However, conflicting with other studies, more research is needed to fully understand the health effects of sweeteners. Despite ongoing debate about their safety, the study's positive findings suggest that incorporating sweeteners into a healthy, low-sugar diet could help with weight maintenance after rapid weight loss.
