Artificial Sweetners Linked to Weight Gain

The big news yesterday was a study that came out stating that artificial sweetners cause weight gain. This is a heavily debated topic among the nutrition community! My opinion is that obesity is caused by a lot more than artificial sweetners. While I am not a big fan of sweetners, I do feel that when used in moderation, they can cut a tremendous amount of calories from a persons diet... which can aide in weight loss. Bottom line... everything in moderation (eat real food). It will be interesting to see what other research is done. Here is a link to the article. Enjoy!
