It does not say it is the cause of abdominal fat, it just says it might be linked.

Not even that.
It simply says that most people using it are obese and they continue obese after some years.
The conclusion is that "since most people who use it are obese and continue obese, it might not be an effective way to lose weight".
Basically it has nothing to do with it causing you to gain weight, become obese, or even that it prevents you from losing weight.
All it shows is that obese people will keep eating like obese people even if you change sugar for sweeteners, so other methods for weight loss are necessary.

There have been studies that outright state that it does in fact cause obesity and leads to weight gain.
It has something to do with the body getting flooded with insulin but the lack of sugar and inability to metabolize the stuff fucks up the process and causes strange weight gain or something.

the only thing that study shows is that your are not able to interpret scientific results

>weetbix with stevia
Weetbix only have like a gram of sugar in them to begin with, the fuck is the point of switching it out?
>>39535660
What the fuck are you on
Artificial sweeteners don't at all trigger a hormonal response you moron
>>39535660
Link them then, because all the ones I've read say that artificial sweeteners cause no insulin response or an absolutely tiny insulin response.
Artificial sweeteners are for faggots who want to have their cake and eat it too, sweets are for children

Strange weight gain from what? The quantum vacuum foam of space? The fact of the matter is that no matter how hard someone tries, you can't make fat from nothing, and the people who are getting obese, are simply eating too much.
