Using artificial sweeteners may acutally make you fat!

The studies used in this article suggest that artificial sweeteners inhibit the body's ability to monitor calorie in take. This leads to a larger body size in those who use artificial sweeteners . Or maybe they are guilty, like me, of drinking a diet drink while enjoying a big mac and large fries? I know that the calories do register when I eat but I chose to ignore that fact while enjoying my food. I am beginning to see a theme develop in my research. But more on that later as I need more research before I can state my great diet theory ;-)
