And over the last five years, the potential impact of low and no calorie sweeteners (LNCS) on the microbiome has been a subject of debate.  <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":17418,\"align\":\"right\",\"width\":364,\"height\":364} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17418\" width=\"364\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28.png 800w, https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Untitled-design-28-95x95.png 95w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Safety has been well-documented over decades for acesulfame K, aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, and steviol glycosides, indicating that these low or no-calorie sweeteners as a group, or individually, do not pose any safety concerns at their currently approved levels.
