Artificial sweeteners could lead to health problems like diabetes, according to a new study.  Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Marquette University gave the rats the artificial sweetener and sugar.  The rats showed changes in their metabolism that could lead to increased risk of diabetes.  The sweeteners also appeared to contribute to obesity.  Eventhough research says it COULD lead to health problems,  remember moderation is the key.
