WHO advises consumers to limit Additional sugar consumptionLess than 10% (50g / day) of energy intake, ideally less than 5% (25g / day).
But don’t think you should eat and eat cakes with non-nutritive (zero or very low calorie) sweeteners such as aspartame, stevia, and monkfruit as a way to reduce additional sugar consumption. Hmm. Draft guidelinesIssued on Friday “Propose non-sugar sweeteners.. It should not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases. “..
Non-sugar sweeteners are “All synthetic and natural or modified non-nutritive sweeteners not classified as sugar. ” ..
WHO cites non-caloric sweeteners such as monkfruit, stevia, sucralose, aspartame, ace-K, saccharin, neotame, and advantame as examples, but does not provide a clear list of non-sugar sweeteners. .. A Systematic review and meta-analysisThe health effects of non-sugar sweeteners, announced by WHO in April, also included studies on very low-calorie sweeteners such as allulose (0.4 calories per gram).
“Sugar alcohols and low-calorie sugars are not considered.” The new guidelines classified as “conditional recommendations” are: NoApplies to people with diabetes.
WHO: Low-calorie / non-calorie sweeteners do not promote a healthy diet
The new WHO guidelines do not state that non-nutritive sweeteners are unsafe, but they are “highly processed” rather than encouraging a radical shift to a healthier diet pattern overall. Foods that claim to be frequently used to make low-sugar or sugar-free junk food.
“”Because it’s free.. ..[ie. added] Sugar is common in highly processed foods and beverages with unwanted nutritional profiles. Simply replacing free sugar with non-sugar sweeteners results in foods and beverages that retain most of the other unhealthy elements, resulting in improved overall dietary quality. There is almost no effect. “..
WHO: Short-term benefits do not outweigh the “long-term undesired effects that can occur in the form of an increased risk of death or illness”...
According to WHO, the short-term benefits of weight loss from the use of non-nutritive sweeteners are: “May be unwanted effects in the long run.” ..
He added:Evidence suggesting that the use of non-sugar sweeteners may be beneficial in measuring body weight or other body fat over time, with the potential for long-term unwanted effects in the form of an increased risk of death and illness. The lack of was outweighed the potential deficiency-long-term health effects due to the relatively small reductions in body weight and BMI observed in randomized controlled trials. “..
The recommendation is “Based on evidence of overall low certainty, assess the health effects of high non-sugar sweetener intake compared to low intake, and long-term measurement of body fat in adults or children. Effects of long-term use in the form of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and an increased risk of death in adults from a systematic review that found no evidence of benefit and may be undesirable. ” WHO was added.
“”Limited evidence suggests potential undesired effects in the form of an increased risk of preterm birth due to the use of non-sugar sweeteners during pregnancy... “
“”Evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials and prospective observational studies found higher NSS ..[non sugar sweeteners] Adult intake reduced body weight and BMI more than not taking NSS or reducing NSS intake when evaluated in short-term randomized controlled trials, but increased BMI in long-term prospective observational studies. It was associated with the risk of obesity. ..“
According to WHO, a prospective observational study with up to 10 years of follow-up (ie, correlation rather than causal relationship) showed that higher NSS intake resulted in higher BMI, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Increases the risk of.
WHO added that weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight are required over the long term to have a meaningful impact on health. “Evidence of mild weight loss or decreased BMI within a few months does not represent a health benefit, as observed in randomized controlled trials without additional evidence of long-term effects.”..
addition: “Because it’s free.. [ie. added] Sugar is common in highly processed foods and beverages with unwanted nutritional profiles. Simply replacing free sugar with non-sugar sweeteners results in foods and beverages that retain most of the other unhealthy elements, resulting in improved overall dietary quality. There is almost no effect. “..
WHO Draft Guidelines: Use of Non-Sugar Sweeteners, July 15, 2022..
Calorie Management Council: Guidelines may “has a negative impact on public health”..
The Calorie Management Council, which counts sweetener suppliers such as Cargill and Tate & Lyle and sweetener users such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, said:It was a pity ” By recommendation, add low-calorie, calorie-free sweeteners.It has been shown to help control weight and blood sugar levels, and reduce calorie and sugar intake. “..
CCC added: Note that the draft guidelines are classified as “conditional” and most of the evidence used to make this recommendation is rated from “very low” to “medium”. please give me. ..
“Furthermore, paying attention to the evidence of the loss of key outcomes such as weight and BMI with the use of low-calorie and non-calorie sweeteners, simply issuing guidelines for their use is all about the effectiveness of these ingredients. Does not provide a statue. Explains the important role of low-calorie and non-calorie sweeteners and can adversely affect public health. “..
International Sweetener Association: “Disadvantages to Public Health”..
The International Sweeteners Association, which counts ADM, Beneo, Ingredion, Ajinomoto, Cargill, etc. as members, repeats these comments, and high-sweetness sweeteners do not affect blood sugar levels, do not interfere with insulin production, and are non-caries. Be primitive and help adults and children reduce their calorie intake: “The lack of awareness of sugar and energy reduction, and ultimately the role of low-calorie / calorie-free sweeteners in weight management, has a negative impact on public health. “..
ISA President Robert Peterson added: “The benefits of replacing added sugars with low-calorie / calorie-free sweeteners in reducing calorie intake and helping weight management are WHO, US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Board, 2020-2025, American Dietary Guidelines. , And numerous published systematic reviews and meta-analyses...
“Governments around the world are tackling the serious problem of increasing the incidence of obesity and diabetes, not to mention dental diseases … The established benefits of using sweeteners other than sugar for dental health. It’s a pity that is not recognized. “..
“This does not mean that consumers should always strive to avoid non-sugar sweeteners in their diet altogether.”..
Dr. Rachel Cheatham, founder of FoodScape Group’s food and nutrition consultancy, told FoodNavigator-USA:Most striking is the lack of scientific consensus on the benefits of non-sugar sweeteners, even after a systematic review and meta-analysis of 283 studies. ..
“One problem is to analyze all artificial and natural sweeteners from low calories to low calories as monoliths. Beyond the basics of safety, not raising blood sugar levels, for example, in the gut microbiota There may be metabolic differences between them involved, but they are not yet fully understood. “..
She added: “Current scientific review nets suggest that non-sugar sweeteners provide short-term benefits, but in the long run they may increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and even death. Given this, the draft guidance on not using non-sugar sweeteners to manage weight and reduce the risk of non-infectious diseases is wise...
That said, she“This does not mean that consumers should always strive to avoid non-sugar sweeteners in their diet altogether. Rather, regular consumption of non-sugar sweeteners is a weight management and illness illness. There is no expectation that it will help prevent it. “..
