Diet soda and drinks that contain the artificial sweetener sucralose may increase food cravings and appetite in women and people who are obese, researchers say.
Seventy-four adult participants, including 43 women, completed the study from March 2020 to March 2021, including an equal number of males and females who identified as healthy weight, overweight or obese.
During the course of three separate morning visits to USC's Dornsife Cognitive Neuroimaging Center, the participants consumed 300 milliliters of a drink sweetened with sucrose (nutritive sugar), a drink sweetened with the NNS sucralose or water as a control.
