of Nutrition and Dietetics Position Paper Confirms Safety and Benefits of Low-Calorie Sweeteners"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>ATLANTA (May 29, 2012) \u2013 \u00a0Consumers can safely enjoy a range of sweeteners, both full-calorie and low-calorie ones, as part of a healthy diet guided by current nutrition recommendations, according to a newly updated position paper by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). \u00a0The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ( the Academy) is the world&#8217;s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u00a0<i>\u201c<\/i>Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Use of Nutritive and Nonnutritive Sweeteners,\u201d published in the May issue of the\u00a0<i>Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,\u00a0<\/i>the Academy concludes:\u00a0 \u201cIt is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the position paper, greater consumption of foods and beverages with added sugars is associated with higher calorie intake, yet lower diet quality. \u00a0The Academy recommends limiting added sugar and states that nonnutritive\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.caloriecontrol.org\/artificial-sweeteners\" target=\"_blank\">(low-calorie) sweeteners<\/a>\u00a0are a safe way to restrict calories in the diet. \u00a0The position paper details and supports the safety and benefits of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.acesulfamek.org\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">acesulfame potassium<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/aspartame.org\/\"

\u201cliking of sweet taste is innate\u201d and that \u201cpreference for sweet taste may be genetic,\u201d rather than due to the consumption of low-calorie sweeteners, as some have alleged.<\/p>\n<p>The Academy offers suggestions for healthfully consuming nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners, including:<\/p>\n<div class=\"press_text\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Enjoy the sweet taste of foods and beverages but keep your calorie count lower by choosing from the variety of low- and reduced-calorie sweeteners approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/li>\n<li>As part of a healthful eating plan as outlined in the 2010\u00a0<i>Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/i>, safely enjoy the range of calorie-containing and low-calorie sweeteners in foods and beverages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>An abstract, podcast and full PDF of the position paper can be found on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatright.org\/About\/Content.aspx?id=8363\"
