A little tidbit I pulled from an article:

There are also reports that artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (also known as NutraSweet™) or acesulfame-K will stimulate your appetite and leave you craving carbohydrates. Because they're widely used in many soft drinks, such as Coca-Cola® or Sprite®, many people are worried that artificially-sweetened soft drinks will lead to weight gain.
