  • Sucralose, an artificial sweetener that's often found in low- and no-calorie sweeteners and diet drinks, boosted feelings of hunger instead of curbing appetite, a large new study found.

A recent study published in the journal Cell Metabolism has found that the artificial sweetener sucralose, commonly known as Splenda, may not be as beneficial for weight management as previously thought. The research indicates that sucralose can disrupt the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels and might increase hunger rather than suppress it. Conducted on fruit flies, the study showed that sucralose interferes with the brain's perception of sweetness, leading to a mismatch between the expected and actual caloric intake. This confusion can result in overeating as the brain does not receive the expected energy signals from the sweetener, potentially leading to weight gain rather than loss. The findings suggest a need for further research into how artificial sweeteners affect human metabolism and appetite control.
