What they mean is that like Pavlov's dog, trained to salivate at the sound of a bell, animals are similarly trained to anticipate lots of calories when they taste something sweet - in nature, sweet foods are usually loaded with calories. When an animal eats a saccharin-flavored food with no calories, however - disrupting the sweetness and calorie link - the animal tends to eat more and gain more weight, the new study shows. The study was even able to document at the physiological level that animals given artificial sweeteners responded differently to their food than those eating high-calorie sweetened...

But it's worth remembering that when it comes to counting calories, it's not just the ones you eat that you have to worry about.

...just because Obama has momentum - beating the expectations game on Super Tuesday and continuing to lead Clinton in the money race - doesn't mean Clinton, a New York senator and former First Lady, isn't putting up a fight in the weekend's races. Clinton, who still leads in most national polls, is campaigning vigorously in Washington Friday and in Maine Saturday, while her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has headed to Louisiana...
