Non-nutritive Sweeteners in Weight Management and Chronic Disease: a review
OBJECTIVES: To critically review findings from recent studies evaluating effects of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) on metabolism, weight, and obesity-related chronic diseases. Biologic mechanisms that may explain NNS effects will also be addressed. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive review of the...

description | OBJECTIVES: To critically review findings from recent studies evaluating effects of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) on metabolism, weight, and obesity-related chronic diseases. Biologic mechanisms that may explain NNS effects will also be addressed. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive review of the relevant scientific literature. RESULTS: Most cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies report positive associations between NNS consumption, body weight, and health conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. While findings in cellular and rodent models suggest harmful effects of NNS on metabolic health, most human randomized controlled trials in humans demonstrate marginal benefits of NNS use on body weight, with little data available on other metabolic outcomes. CONCLUSION: NNS consumption is associated with higher body weight and metabolic disease in observational studies. In contrast, randomized controlled trials demonstrate that NNS may support weight loss, particularly when used alongside behavioral weight loss support. Additional long-term, well-controlled intervention studies in humans are needed to determine NNS effects on weight, adiposity and chronic disease under free-living conditions. |
