On The Cover:

People use artificial sweeteners for
a variety of reasons, among them:
• Weight loss: typically, artificial
sweeteners provide substantially
more "sweetness" per calorie;
however, a University of
Texas study showed (for
reasons not entirely clear)
that consumers of diet
vr/
sodas may be more likely
A
; to gain weight than those
6
\ who consume naturally
sweetened drinks;
) • Dental hygiene: artifi-
,
cial sweeteners are more
:
\ j I "tooth friendly" due to
lack of fermentation;
• Diabetes mellitus: artifi-
cial sweeteners can help
control sugar intake, allowing for
a more varied diet;
• Reactive hypoglycemia: artificial
sweeteners can substitute for
high glycemic foods.
