About
The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of daily consumption of aspartame, rebaudioside a, saccharin, sucralose, and sucrose on body weight and composition in a standardized protocol. The investigators hypothesize that individual low calorie sweeteners (consumed in a beverage) differ from each other in promoting weight loss and decreased fat mass (without energy restriction or dietary guidance) based on their chemical structure.
