Sugar-free fizzy drinks are no more likely to make you eat junk food than water, say researchers.
Previously, a number of studies have claimed that artificial sweeteners found in diet drinks wreak havoc with our hormones, causing us to feel hungry and crave sweet and fatty foods.
It was thought that artificial sweeteners, due to their intense sweetness, disrupted hunger hormones and encouraged people to eat sweet food.
But new research from the University of North Carolina suggests this may not be the case after all.
