How does an artificial sweetener cause weight gain in some people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Eating too many calories and not burning off enough leads to weight gain. The recent news was scientifically incorrect and misinterpreted by the media. Don't get your scientific information from friends, tv or the internet.
