1 Artificial Sweeteners Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, particularly mannitol and sorbitol, can cause diarrhea in some people. 2  Mannitol and sorbitol linger in the stomach, Schiller says, which can result in bloating and diarrhea.
Unlike sugar, artificial sweeteners are non-nutritive and contain few calories, but can give you a sweet tooth. A sweet taste also increases your appetite. A U.S. study last year found non-calorific sweeteners encouraged animals to eat more calorie-rich, sweet-tasting food, making them gain weight.ive artificial sweeteners are permitted for use in the UK: aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame potassium (known as acesulfame K), cyclamate and sucralose. By interfering with our satisfaction signals, artificial sweeteners cause us to crave even more sweet food.
