  1. Thing about hunger is, that it's a general cry out of the body, that it needs more fuel, but this fuel is not just calories, but also all the other things it needs, protein, vitamines, minerals and so on, all of them. Sodas with sugars got quite some kalories from all that sugar, but near to nothing else, so your body will not stop crying "HUNGRY!" - and it can't really tell you exactly what you are hungry for. Sometimes you MIGHT be hungry for a specific food, but even for that your body would have to know this food in the first place and have no other reasons (like for examlpe the taste) to not like it. When I found out, that my diet lacks quite some potassium for example, I bought supplements for the days in which I did not get enough. One of the first effect I had was: less hunger, even though at the same time I ate less. Obvious reason? By fixing that potassium hole, I gave my body less reason to cry for more food. It would be great, if we could communicate with our body on a much more detailed basis, when it could simply directly tell us "Yeah, too much salt, not enough vitamin A and C, please less fat, please more protein" and so on. But, well, all it can 'say' is "Hungry!"

  2. Artificial sweeteners are simply several 100 times sweeter than sugar = you need only for example 1/300 part of the same amount of sugar for the same sweetness. It's not even that artificial sweeteners got less calories, it's simply 200g sugar vs <1g sweetener. Also most sweetener are simply not metabolized into glucose and can't be used by the bacteria in your mouth, so the negative effect of sugar does not take place. Of course sweetener overall does not help your body at all with its need for glucose, it really simply is for the taste. You just want it to taste sweet without any other effect? There you go.

  4. I mean nicotine can become toxic pretty quickly, though when it comes to cigarettes - nicotine is more the least problem in that cocktail of over 200 toxines.
