As a long time consumer of diet soda this report seems sus.
"WHO experts note that this suggests that the weight loss seen in some trials of artificial sweeteners is likely just down to reducing calories, not an inherent property of artificial sweeteners."
I mean, THAT'S THE POINT. Nobody to my knowledge has ever suggested that artificial sweeteners have some magical weight-loss benefits OTHER THAN THE FACT that they don't have as many calories as sugar.
