Not sure what research you are reading, but they probably have an agenda. All I can say is I've walked the walked and cut out all sugar and salt and the soft drinks I consumed were aspartame laced (yeah, I know the 'facts' from the studies supposedly done but have never been able to duplicate their findings) I only had cravings for 8~10 days when I quit cold turkey sugar and salt at the beginning of my diet. Drank Coke Zero during the course of the program along with my other staple beverage besides 2 ltr of water and that was black tea. After the salt & sugar withdrawal (which was a non-starter for me as it really didn't affect me that much if at all) I did the whole program without any cravings whatsoever for anything actually, and post diet didn't restart any of them until about a decade later (basically shortly before retirement @ 71). I still don't cook with or use them as condiments. Obviously processed foods which for me is only the snacks where I could get a sugar rush, not a craving have been non-starters. I still basically maintain a fresh food diet. Heck, as I sit here typing this I have a half of a mug of Earl Grey Tea and another mug with Pepsi Black waiting. I usually buy pepsi black in bulk (4 to 6 cases at a time every other month from Red Mart or AmazonSg depending on prices. Oh, and as you know I lost 26.5 kg in 22.5 weeks back then. I've just lost 15 kg since end May following a not so strict version of my original diet. Oh, no cravings either and much old as well.
