Interesting, but also suspicious. "How much a person eats and the quality of their diet" is pretty much the entirety of "calories in", so if artificial sweeteners are sabotaging weight loss, it'll be on the "calories out" end, which is where metabolism and exercise come into play... which is absolutely a part of the equation that can be influenced, but not the part that sweeteners are typically involved in.
