Disclosures
• I have received funding for research from Sugar Nutrition UK, provided
consultancy services for Coca-Cola Great Britain and received speaker’s
fees from the International Sweeteners Association.
• I will be referring to a systematic review and meta-analysis of effects of
low-calorie sweeteners on energy intake and body weight. This review was
initiated by ILSI-Europe, who also provided administrative support, hosted
meetings of the authors, and paid the academic authors travel expenses
and honoraria. Two of the eleven authors of the review are food industry
employees, and one was an ILSI-Europe employee.

‘Consequently [as a result of consuming aspartame], individuals may receive
ambiguous signals for the control of appetite and ingestion.’ (Blundell & Hill, 1986,
p 1093)
‘We reasoned that if sweet tastes are normally valid predictors of increased caloric
outcomes, then exposing rats to sweet taste that is not associated with these
outcomes should degrade this predictive relationship and impair energy intake and
body weight regulation.’ (Swithers et al., 2010, p 56.)

Repeated exposure to sweetness engenders preference for sweetness.
e.g., Mattes & Popkin (2009) American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 89, 1-14 “In addition, overstimulation of sugar receptors by frequent consumption of hyper-intense sweeteners may cause taste preferences to remain in, or revert to, an infantile state (i.e., with limited tolerance to more complex tastes).”

Exposure to dietary sweetness with calories: conclusions
1. Is there a learned association?
• There is no association to learn
2. Does sweetness without calories impact food intake and energy balance?
• Yes, when sweetness without calories (LCS) replaces sweetness with calories (sugars) it reduces energy intake and body weight
• No, sweetness without calories (LCS) versus water does not increase energy intake or body weight*
*This is a conservative conclusion, as accumulating evidence suggests that in some contexts sweetness without calories may reduce energy intake and body weight compared with water

Months 2-3:
Low-sugar diet group (n=13) replaced 40% of calories from simple sugars with fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates
Control group (n=16) did not change their sugar intake

Sustained intervention studies: further results
Blinding
• Outcomes were similar whether or not participants were ‘blinded’ to the intervention (i.e., whether they were aware or not aware they were consuming reduced calorie products)
Addition versus substitution • Outcomes were similar for studies in which (1) the test products were
added to the diet, compared with (2) when participants were already consuming sugar-sweetened products and the intervention was (partial) replacement of sugar with low-calorie sweeteners
