- ABSTRACT: Various researchers were interviewed who
- have conducted experiments indicating that the use
- of artificial sweeteners does not help in weight
- loss programs. Aspartame and saccharin are
- mentioned. <LK173 NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES> The
- issues of sweetness and appetite are also given
- special attention. A major emphasis is given to
- the research supporting the claim that sweeteners
