Very interesting! This seems to suggest that sugar substitutes might do the same, though.
There is a study that actually compared sugar substitute ingesting people to sugar ingesting people. The people who ate sugar showed more rational behavior. >_> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/18315798/ but maybe this is different from self control.
No, sugar substitutes were not triggering the dopamine release, so they don't work.
