Artificial sweeteners... opinions?
Advertisements [?]
I've got somebody who's telling me he heard about a study saying that artificial sweeteners cause weight gain. The idea is that they fool the brain into thinking that it's got sugar incoming, and so the body starts storing fat. He also says the study found that a person who otherwise has a great diet, and drinks one diet soda a day, will gain weight.

Anyone here have opinions on how valid this is?
