How Do Artificial Sweeteners Effect the Weight of Mus Musculus

AJAS · 2020

Brianna Gruntmeir · Not Listed

Overview

In order to determine what kind of artificial sweetener had the largest affect on human health, I tested it on lab mice. I tested five different types of additives, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, stevia, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and sugar. Each cage was given a 30 ml water bottle, and then another 30 ml water bottle with 4 grams of additives. Each cage was fed Mazuri Rodent Breeder and was changed out every two weeks when the cages were cleaned out. I weighed the mice once a week and recorded their data and gave them 3 grams of chocolate to see how they reacted to real sugar in their diet. I tested the sweeteners on the mice for three months at a time for two trials.
