\u00a0Overview<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • 6 month, 3-arm study (RCT), n=318 (UNC\/Chapel Hill)<\/li>\n
  • Investigated whether energy intakes and dietary patterns were different in subjects who were randomly assigned to substitute caloric beverages with either water or diet beverages (included aspartame<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Findings<\/td>\n\u00a0The diet beverage group showed decreases in most caloric beverages and specifically reduced more desserts than the water group did.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Conclusion excerpt<\/td>\n\u201cOur study does not provide evidence to suggest that a short-term consumption of diet beverages, compared with water, increases preferences for sweet foods and beverages.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Question<\/td>\n\u00a0In adults, does aspartame<\/strong> affect appetite or food intake?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Conclusion statement
\n(Grade 1)<\/td>\n		\u00a0“There is good evidence that aspartame does not affect appetite or food intake. \u201c<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overview<\/td>\n\u00a0Reviewed specific effects of LCS use on appetite for sweet products; included observational studies, experimental laboratory studies, randomized controlled trials, and brain imaging studies. (38 studies included)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Findings<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Use of LCS showed no consistent association with a heightened appetite for sugar or sweet products.<\/li>\n
  • In many instances, the use of LCS is associated with a lower intake of sweet tasting substances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Conclusion excerpt<\/td>\n\u00a0\u201cRecent intervention studies in children and adults confirm that LCS use tends to reduce rather than increase the intake of sugar-containing foods and facilitate, rather than impair weight loss.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
