Let’s make this a bit more complicated by adding a few questions.
Is it that they replace healthier food?
They contain a lot of calories and contain few micronutrients.
They might taste better than other foods, and might make healthier foods taste bland in comparison.
Is it that they regulate appetite differently?
They might taste better than other foods, and people would eat them past satiety because they enjoy their taste.
Different nutrients might regulate appetite differently.
Different flavors might regulate appetite differently, and this is relevant to zero calorie sweeteners.
Is it that they regulate digestion differently?
The effectiveness of absorbing different nutrient ratios might vary in different timescales.
Different nutrients might regulate different digestive excretions differently.
Different flavors might regulate different digestive excretions differently.
Different nutrients might regulate the effectiveness of enterohepatic circulation differently.
Is it that they regulate metabolism differently?
Different nutrients might be inherently different in how effectively they can be used to store fat.
Different nutrients might regulate the efficiency of metabolism differently through increasing or diminishing thermogenic waste metabolism.
Different flavors might regulate metabolism differently, either directly through taste or through hormonal changes from digestion, and this again is relevant to zero calorie sweeteners.
Is it that they regulate where the fat is stored?
The fat might be stored evenly, abdominally or in the proximity of different vital organs
Is it that fat stored in different locations in the body have different health effects?
Is it that they regulate physical activity differently?
How interconnected are these questions and in where exactly are the relevant nodes?
Are there nodes where many of these questions can be answered at once?
Does the fact that different diets lead to different results in weight loss allow us to make accurate predictions of which nodes are affected, or is our level of understanding of the human body inadequate for that?
