However, this kind of data\nalso has serious limitations (think \u201cfine print\u201d) to it.&nbsp; Read on.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors acknowledged the following limitations of the\nstudy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Though the authors note that this type of study\nis incapable of showing a cause-and-effect relationship, still, they tend to\ndraw very specific conclusions from very generalized data.&nbsp; Observational studies are only able to\ngenerate a hypothesis, even if headlines suggest otherwise.<\/li><li>Since the intake of ASBs was recorded only once\nand was self-reported, it cannot be validated.&nbsp;\nIt should also be noted that diet quality was also taken at the time of\nenrollment and was not assessed again during the 12-year follow-up period. <\/li><li>The authors noted that women with a higher\nintake of ASBs \u201cmay have differed systematically\u201d from women with little or no\nintake, \u201csince they were more likely to be obese and have a higher energy\nintake.\u201d The authors acknowledged that they may have been components of their\ndiets that were not accounted for by the diet quality measure utilized in the\nstudy.&nbsp; <\/li><li>The ASB intake assessment did not consider the\nuse of LNCS in coffee, tea, or foods.&nbsp; Therefore,\nsubjects who are simply not soda drinkers and may use LNCS in their hot\nbeverages, or eat sugar-reduced foods such as \u201clite\u201d yogurt were not captured\nin this study.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How likely is it that your current health status is a result\nof what you usually ate on a typical Wednesday, 12 years ago?&nbsp; The authors felt that, in weight-stable older\nwomen, \u201cthe likelihood of changes in dietary patterns is likely low.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a big assumption.&nbsp;\nStable weight does not indicate a stable intake of calories, as activity\nlevels and metabolisms often decline over time.&nbsp;\nIt also doesn\u2019t indicate a stable dietary quality.&nbsp; People move, jobs change, life happens, and\nthis often impacts our eating style, none of which can be accounted for by this\nstudy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reverse Causality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the concept that people at higher risk for stroke\nand cardiovascular disease may be more likely to choose to drink ASBs.&nbsp; Conditions like stroke and heart disease\nbuild for years with few or no symptoms.&nbsp;\nPeople drinking the most ASBs were also the LEAST likely to be physically\nactive.&nbsp; While being sedentary increases\nthe likelihood of all the health risks measured, these individuals may be\ninactive due to health issues that were not accounted for.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Good News and\nThere\u2019s Plenty of It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Controlled\nintervention<\/em> studies produce higher quality evidence.&nbsp; A comprehensive review (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4786736\/\">Rogers, et al., 2016<\/a>)\nof such studies has shown significant benefits from the use of low- and no-calorie\nsweeteners (LNCS):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Total calorie intake and body weight are reduced\nwith the use of LNCS when used in place of at least some sugar.<\/li><li>Use of LNCS does NOT increase desire for sweet\nfoods.&nbsp; <\/li><li>No evidence that the use of LNCS undermines\nweight loss efforts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is well-known that healthy weight loss can reduce the\nrisk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.&nbsp;\nBut, should we place the burden of achieving weight loss and other\npositive health outcomes on the use or non-use of ASBs?&nbsp; That seems inappropriate because they were\nnever developed for that purpose.&nbsp; They\nhave been a lifesaver for diabetics, most certainly, helping them control blood\nglucose levels while having a satisfactory eating style that helps them feel\nless deprived.&nbsp; Indeed, it is accepted\nthat all LNCS have no effect on blood glucose levels and, if used in place of a\nsugar-sweetened beverage (an ideal use) can help prevent rises in blood glucose\nlevels.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Careful Spending of\nSugar Calories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For diabetics and non-diabetics, LNCS are a tool.&nbsp; Like every tool, and every food, for that\nmatter, they need to be used wisely.&nbsp; The\nreal question to anyone considering using LNCS is: How will you, as an <em>individual<\/em>, not a <em>population<\/em>, use them?&nbsp; You\ncan decide if ASBs will be an asset to your eating style.&nbsp; When I have clinic visits with obese patients\nwho want to lose weight, or just spend fewer calories on sugar, I always go\nover where their dietary sources of excess calories are.&nbsp; If they eat a lot of added sugars, these are easy\nplaces to focus their efforts.&nbsp; A simple\nswap of a calorie-free drink for their usual soda has BEEN SHOWN to reduce\ntotal calorie intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead author states,\n\u201cWe can\u2019t assume these diet drinks are harmless, especially when consumed at\nhigh levels,\u201d which is confusing to consumers.&nbsp;\nCan we assume ANYTHING, even foods like kale and garbanzo beans, are\nharmless when consumed at high levels?&nbsp;\nOf course not.&nbsp; On the other hand,\nmore reliable evidence has shown us they can be a beneficial tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, my own pet peeve about the potential damage of\nthese observational studies: Since they are not capable of showing\ncause-and-effect, why do headlines imply there is one?&nbsp; &nbsp;Such\nimplications are incorrect, irresponsible and are misleading to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rogers PJ, Hogenkamp PS, de Graaf C, et al.
