I just hope that today's SuppVersity article is not going to cause scenes like this, because when it all said and done it may be less likely, but not impossible that it is (for whatever vexed reason) still aspartame that caused the negative effects observed in the study at hand. It is one of the recurring motifs here at the SuppVersisty and at the same time one of the most popular issues of dispute in the health and fitness community: The Obesogenic Effects of Artificial Sweeteners .

The first sweetener that will actively help in weight loss? In the course of a 12-week trial, a group of Sprague-dawley rats was initially fed up with the standard laboratory "high fat diet...
