  • Title: Trends in the consumption of low-calorie sweeteners.
    Author: Sylvetsky AC, Rother KI.
    Journal: Physiol Behav; 2016 Oct 01; 164(Pt B):446-450. PubMed ID: 27039282.
    Abstract:
    Low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) offer a palatable alternative to caloric sugars such as sucrose (table sugar) and high fructose corn syrup and are commonly found in soft drinks, sweetener packets, grains, snack foods, dairy products, hygiene products, and medications. Consumption of LCS has increased significantly in recent years and while this trend is expected to continue, controversy exists surrounding their use. The purpose of this article is to review trends in the consumption of LCS, to summarize differences in LCS consumption across socio-demographic subgroups and subtypes of LCS-containing products, and to highlight important challenges in the accurate assessment of LCS consumption.
