Always appreciate criticism/observations, but I think that you are trying to answer a question not asked in my piece: Do artificial sweeteners facilitate weight loss?
This piece was only about a recent animal research piece on artificial sweeteners and anxiety and I concluded this in the piece you read:
Do the research findings have any implications for humans? The researchers note that the aspartame doses in the mice fell below the FDA-recommended maximum daily intake for humans. We will need human studies to see if artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are associated with anxiety.
Hypothesis-generating. Nothing more.
Appreciate your reading the piece and taking time to comment.
Warm regards,
Michael
