Sweet 'N' Low not so sweet and low?

According to Purdue University researchers, the calorie-free sweetener saccharin -- found in the pink packets you put in your coffee like Sweet 'N' Low rather than sugar -- may make it harder to lose weight.

In their lab study, some rats were fed with saccharin-sweetened yogurt and others with natural sugar-sweetened yogurt. The ones who had saccharin consumed more calories later, causing weight and body fat gain.

The researchers think the results would be the same for aspartame sweeteners, like Equal.

The food industry is not happy about this study, pointing to other reasons for obesity in America.

I'll be interested to see the results of the same study done on humans. Until then, I'll stick to using Splenda in my coffee.
