Aspartame = increased appetite ?

[anthrax]

It is just something i have experienced a couple of times :

when I have not much food in my stomach and I drink coffee/tea sweetened with aspartame it seems that it stimulates my appetite

Aspartame inhibits the production of the serotonin,and thus may increase or maintain hunger

Appetite increase probably attributed to a small insulin spike.

Areyou saying that aspartame induces an insulin spike ?

Shit !
I'm actually using aspartame w/ coffee, yogurt, cottage cheese....

I think Sucralose (splenda) will do the same, since it also includes about 1 gram of Dextrose.

aspartame is supposed to be very bad for you, i found it on pubmed a while ago, ill try to look for the article

junk it doesnt contain any dextrose, not in the uk anyway
it has maltodextrin but a whole jar has about 90g total carbs

Oops, you're right I meant maltodextrin. But anyway, one sucralose (splenda) bad contains about 0.8 of malto which is about 3 calories. One this that doesn't contain any calories is saccharin, it once was though to cause cancer in rats, but the FDA has withdrawn it's warning. Not so good taste but still, if you drink 10 cups of tea a day, it may save you 30 cals a day that the splenda would give you.

the aspartame you can buy is composed of 97% maltodextrins and only 3% aspartame

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

are you using the tablets?
i think they dont have maltodextrin in them but they do have a little lactose and something else
