Artificial Substitutes of Sugar Lead to Weight Increase
|
|
Artificial substitutes of sugar lead to weight increase in spite of the fact that they practically do not contain calories. Results of the research lead by employees of University Purdju prove it.
During the experiment researchers have divided experimental rats into two groups, first group received the yoghurt containing usual glucose, the second received the same yoghurt sweetened by saccharin. This substance is hundreds times more sweet than sugar, and thus it practically does not contain calories. Animals were not limited in food.
As supervision have shown that rats received yoghurt with saccharin, raised their weight much more quickly as they ate much more than animals from other group.
In norm sweet taste helps the organism to estimate caloric content of food, starting corresponding digestion processes and limiting appetite. In that case the replacement of sugar by artificial substances can lead to infringement of this natural mechanism of the control.
However, numerous attempts to estimate the influence of artificial substances on person weight until now led to ambiguous results. Partly it is explained by the fact that people are capable to control the quantity of food proceeding from its caloric content.
