    Do non-nutritive sweeteners (saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K, sucralose, neotame) affect food intake in adults?
    • Conclusion

      Non-nutritive sweeteners do not increase food intake. Modest energy savings can result if non-nutritive sweeteners replace sugar-sweetened products in a form that is also lower energy.

       

    • Grade: II
      • 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.
    Do non-nutritive sweeteners (saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame-K, sucralose, neotame) affect food intake in children?
    • Conclusion
       
      Non-nutritive sweeteners do not increase food intake. Short-term studies suggest that modest energy savings can result if non-nutritive sweeteners replace sugar-sweetened products in a form that is also lower energy. Long-term studies need to assess if use of non-nutritive sweeteners in children help to balance energy intakes with energy expenditures.
