A common calorie-free sweetener alters brain activity and appetite control, new research suggests Consuming sucralose, a widely used non-caloric sweetener, may influence how the brain regulates hunger and body weight. A new study published in Nature Metabolism…

Brain imaging also revealed that sucralose altered the functional connectivity between the hypothalamus and other brain regions. For example, after drinking sucralose, participants showed stronger connections between the hypothalamus and areas involved in motivation (like the anterior cingulate cortex) and body awareness (such as the parietal lobule). These changes suggest that sucralose may heighten the brain’s responsiveness to food cues or amplify motivational signals related to eating.

A common calorie-free sweetener alters brain activity and appetite control, new research suggests

A recent brain imaging study finds that sucralose, unlike sugar, increases activity in the hypothalamus and boosts hunger, suggesting that calorie-free sweetness may confuse the brain’s appetite control system.
