Do not use sweeteners for weight control, World Health Organization says

Do not use sweeteners for weight control, World Health Organization says Swapping sugar for sweeteners will not help you lose weight and may cause health problems, new World Health Organization guidelines say.

The advice suggests people shouldn't turn to non-sugar sweeteners like aspartame, which is found in Diet Coke, in a bid to lose weight or prevent diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Other popular ones include saccharin and stevia. The Daily Mail
