  • Intervention
    In adults, do non-nutritive sweeteners (saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K, sucralose, neotame) affect appetite?
    • Conclusion

      Taken together the results of - mostly short-term - studies indicate that non-nutritive sweeteners do not affect appetite in adults.

       

       

    • Grade: I
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
    In children, do non-nutritive sweeteners (saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K, sucralose, neotame) affect appetite?
    • Conclusion

      There are not enough studies in children to draw a conclusion. Further research is needed.
