You may know the difference between a diet soda and its sugary cousin, but your body may not be so quick to judge. When you trick your body with an artificial sweetener, you may be disrupting Mother Nature’s way of counting calories, which according to new study findings could lead to overeating (International Journal of Obesity, 2004, vol. 28, no. 7). If you want to eschew artificials, try natural sweeteners that are better for you.
