The new policy statement questions the safety and effectiveness of nonnutritive sweeteners \u2013 also called low and no calorie sweeteners (LNCS) \u2013 when consumed by children, going so far as to imply that LNCS contribute to weight gain, diabetes and other health ailments and recommends that the amount of sweetener be listed on product labels. \u201cThe Calorie Control Council takes issue with these claims and maintains its longstanding position that, when consumed as part of a healthy and balanced diet, the consumption of LNCS may serve as a tool for managing overall caloric and sugar intake,\u201d said Robert Rankin, president of the Calorie Control Council.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LOW AND NO CALORIE SWEETENERS ARE PROVEN SAFE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No major scientific or <a href=\"https:\/\/caloriecontrol.org\/authoritative-statements-lcs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">regulatory<\/a> agency prohibits the use of sweeteners in foods for children.
