In the end, there were hardly any noticeable differences between
the two groups of mice that were fed a normal diet. But among the groups
that received a high-fat diet, the mice that drank the sweetener
solution became considerably heavier than those who drank plain water.
However, the blood sugar level was higher than normal in all
of the mice that received sweetener solution. This is usually an
indicator of glucose intolerance. All of these mice also experienced an
increase of a protein called TNF-alpha in their blood. This protein is
typically related to inflammations that are common in cases of metabolic
syndrome.
What does that mean for humans? You’d be better off drinking
plain water, or tea without sugar or sweetener, than grabbing a
“zero-sugar” refreshment.
