the claim

Consuming artificial sweeteners decreases appetite and food intake compared with consuming sugar.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that consuming artificial sweeteners decreases appetite and food intake compared with consuming sugar?

Partly. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: one rodent study and a review of RCTs indicate artificial sweeteners do not reduce energy intake and may stimulate it, while a general reference states sweeteners can aid weight loss. No item directly compares appetite and food intake between artificial sweeteners and sugar in humans.
