IIRC that was a popular opinion about artificial sweeteners for a while because pigs are raised on food with sweeteners, to make them eat more. That doesn't mean sweeteners make you hungrier though, just that pigs like to eat sweet things so they eat more of it.
It's been a while but my most recent information was that this correlation couldn't be confirmed. Sorry, can't provide sources, just what I remember from a while back, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt.
