Do zero calorie colas help you lose weight?

This month in the International Journal of Obesity, a study aimed to determine whether substituting sugar with Zero-calorie Sweeteners helped with weight management.
The authors found that subjects given zero-calorie sweetened beverages consumed more during lunch, compensating for any energy saved. All patients showed increased levels of blood glucose and insulin concentration, suggesting that there is little difference between calorie-free beverages and sugar-sweetened beverages in relation to daily energy intake, blood glucose, and insulin responses.
