    Artificial sweeteners and highly processed foods can shut off your “I’m full” safety valve.
    Read the labels on the foods you eat, educate yourself.
    Corporations want you to eat to excess, it’s profitable.

            I figure they’re probably safe and certainly not more harmful than sugar.

            They just taste wank.

              Heard from sci show that they make you crave sugar more since they are stronger than real sugar. Also, they make your intestines absorb more sugar since the sugar receptors get clogged trying to absorb the artificial stuff and they pull more. That second one probably doesn’t affect you very much though.

                they are stronger than real sugar

                This is only true on a per-weight basis - which is why they use a lot less of it to obtain the same degree of sweetness.

                they make your intestines absorb more sugar since the sugar receptors get clogged trying to absorb the artificial stuff

                This is an amazing chunk of nonsense you should actually be congratulated for.

                That second one probably doesn’t affect you very much though

                Because it’s nonsense.
