The recent publication by Rios-Leyvraz and Montez, entitled \u201cHealth effects of the use of non-sugar sweeteners \u2013 a systemic review and met-analysis<\/a>,\u201d serves as an update to the 2019 systematic review<\/a> by Toews, et al. and attempts to address inherent health effects of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) as well as those effects compared to sugar or water, when consumed at safe levels as established by authoritative bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The review reports favorable findings regarding NSS intake and weight management outcomes, without significant effects on other measures of adiposity or cardiometabolic health, including \u200efasting glucose, insulin, blood lipids and blood \u200epressure (very low to high certainty evidence).\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although long-term cohort studies suggested less favorable outcomes, the evidence certainty is very low to low. The authors note that these findings may be due to reverse causation and\/or residual confounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the lack of significant data from studies involving children, as well as largely inconclusive results in those that exist, and very low to low certainty of evidence regarding pregnant women, it is recommended more research is necessary to investigate consumption among these two population groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The review concluded that NSS consumption may be associated with short-term weight loss when used to reduce total energy intake. These results are largely in agreement with the findings of other systemic reviews and the current body of evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
