Artificial sweeteners reduce calories, but their effects on gut microbiota and appetite remain debated. Some studies suggest altered insulin sensitivity, while others show clear weight-loss benefits. The takeaway: moderation and context matter. Occasional use supports calorie control, but reliance on whole-food sweetness (fruit, spices) is a healthier baseline. Sweeteners aren’t villains—but they’re not saviors either.
