Business for Impact at Georgetown University\u2019s McDonough School of Business developed this whitepaper<\/a> to evaluate the role low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) can play in achieving public health recommendations to reduce added sugars in the diet. This new paper increases understanding about the use, purpose, safety and benefits of LNCS in the food supply, demonstrates LNCS are a beneficial tool to help individuals achieve public health recommendations, and will help guide more effective policy decisions, better dietary guidance, and enlightened industry actions to enhance consumer health.<\/p>\n\n\n

This whitepaper sponsored by the Calorie Control Council examines the current state of LNCS usage, the benefits<\/a> and safety<\/a> of LNCS consumption, consumer \u200eperspectives regarding the utilization and labeling of sugar and LNCS, and projections for how much sugar and \u200ecalories can be removed from the food supply by increasing the incorporation of LNCS into foods and \u200ebeverages. Among the key findings of this paper are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
