NNNS: Effect Appetite/Food Intake (2011)
-
Intervention
In adults, does saccharin affect food intake in adults?
-
Conclusion
Saccharin does not increase food intake in adults. Modest energy savings can result if saccharin-sweetened foods replace sugar-sweetened products in a form that is also lower in energy.
The 2009 update did not find new studies meeting the inclusion criteria for this question; the Nutritive and Non-nutritive Sweeteners Workgroup (2009) reviewed and accepted the studies identified by the Non-nutritive Sweeteners Workgroup (2006).
