eases, whereas randomized clinical trials (RCTs) typically evaluate short-term
effects of specific interventions on weight change, both types of evidence are
critical in evaluating causality. Findings from well-powered prospective cohorts
have consistently shown a significant association, established temporality and
demonstrated a direct dose–response relationship between SSB consumption and
long-term weight gain and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). A recently published
meta-analysis of RCTs commissioned by the World Health Organization found
that decreased intake of added sugars significantly reduced body weight (0.80 kg,
95% confidence interval [CI] 0.39–1.21; P < 0.001), whereas increased sugar
intake led to a comparable weight increase (0.75 kg, 0.30–1.19; P = 0.001). A
parallel meta-analysis of cohort studies also found that higher intake of SSBs
among children was associated with 55% (95% CI 32–82%) higher risk of being
overweight or obese compared with those with lower intake. Another metaanalysis of eight prospective cohort studies found that one to two servings per day
of SSB intake was associated with a 26% (95% CI 12–41%) greater risk of
developing T2D compared with occasional intake (less than one serving per
month). Recently, two large RCTs with a high degree of compliance provided
convincing data that reducing consumption of SSBs significantly decreases weight
gain and adiposity in children and adolescents. Taken together, the evidence that
decreasing SSBs will decrease the risk of obesity and related diseases such as T2D
is compelling. Several additional issues warrant further discussion. First, prevention of long-term weight gain through dietary changes such as limiting consumption of SSBs is more important than short-term weight loss in reducing the

Fácil: cambiemos las bebidas por agua!
The negative impact of consuming sugar-sweetened
beverages on weight and other health outcomes has
been increasingly recognized; therefore, many people
have turned to high-intensity sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin as a way to reduce the
risk of these consequences. However, accumulating evidence suggests that frequent consumers of these sugar
substitutes may also be at increased risk of excessive
weight gain, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and
cardiovascular disease. This paper discusses these findings and considers the hypothesis that consuming
sweet-tasting but noncaloric or reduced-calorie food
and beverages interferes with learned responses that
normally contribute to glucose and energy homeostasis.
Because of this interference, frequent consumption of
high-intensity sweeteners may have the counterintuitive
effect of inducing metabolic derangements.

goal is to identify and examine the types of physiologic
mechanisms that could underlie such adverse health co

Sweeteners and health
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB; see
Glossary) has been increasingly associated with negative
health outcomes such as being overweight, obesity, type 2
diabetes (T2D), and metabolic syndrome, for reviews, see
[1–5]. Based largely on these associations, many researchers and healthcare practitioners have proposed that noncaloric, high-intensity sweeteners provide a beneficial
alternative in foods and beverages [6–10].There is no
doubt that replacing caloric with noncaloric sweeteners
reduces the energy density of foods and beverages. However, whether reducing energy density in this manner
always translates into reduced energy intake, lower body
weight, and improved metabolic health is much less certain. Recent reviews of studies spanning at least the past
40 years have concluded that high-intensity sweeteners
are potentially helpful [11], harmful [12], or have as yet
unclear effects [9,13–15] with regard to regulation of
energy balance or other metabolic consequences. One
purpose of this opinion paper is to summarize and evaluate recent research that is consistent with the rather
counterintuitive claim that consuming high-intensity
sweeteners may promote excess energy intake, increased

Artificially sweetened beverages (ASB): also known as ‘diet’ soft drinks
beverages manufactured with one or more high-intensity sweeteners in plac
of energy-yielding sugars like sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup with th
purpose of reducing or eliminating calories.
Body mass index (BMI): used as an index of risk for weight-related healt
outcomes and is calculated as (kg/m2). In adults BMIs of 18.5–24.9 ar
considered to be within the normal range, whereas BMIs from 25 to 29.9 ar
classified as overweight and a BMI greater than 30 is classified as obese.
Hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR): statistical measures of how often a
event occurs in one group compared to another. A HR or OR of 1 means there i
no difference between the groups and an HR or OR >1 means there is a
increased likelihood that the event will occur in the group of interest relative t
the comparison group.
High-intensity sweeteners: also known as low-calorie sweeteners, artificia
sweeteners, non-nutritive sweeteners, or noncaloric sweeteners are chemical
that produce the perception of sweet taste at very low concentrations. High
intensity sweeteners currently used commonly in foods and beverages includ
sucralose, aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfame potassium, as well as newl
approved extracts from the plant Stevia rebaudiana. Although some high
intensity sweeteners can be metabolized by the body, foods and beverage
typically contain them in such small quantities that even those that can b
metabolized contribute minute amounts of energy to the diet.
Incretin hormones: hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) an
glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) that are released from L cell
and K cells in the intestine, respectively, and serve to enhance the release o
insulin from beta cells, slow the rate of gastric emptying, and may contribute t
satiety.
Metabolic syndrome: a group of factors that occur together and contribute t
increased risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (T2D
Typical definitions require three or more of the following: blood pressure >130
85 mmHg; fasting blood glucose >100 mg/dl; large waist circumference (me
>102 cm, women >89 cm); low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholestero
(men <40 mg/dl; women <50 mg/dl); triglycerides >150 mg/dl.
Post-prandial glucose homeostasis: following meals (post-prandial) levels o
glucose in the blood are tightly regulated by the release of a variety o
hormones that contribute to clearance of glucose. For example, release o
insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas is required to move sugar from th
blood into cells.
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB): also known as ‘regular’ soft drinks
manufactured with one or more caloric sweeteners such as sucrose or high
fructose corn syrup.
Thermic effect of food: increase in metabolic rate after consumption of a mea
related to energy required to process and metabolize the consumed food.
Type 2 diabetes: chronic elevation of blood glucose due to insulin resistanc
that is also characterized by impaired incretin secretion.

Does low-energy sweetener consumption affect energy intake

By reducing energy density, low-energy sweeteners (LES) might be expected to reduce energy intake (EI) and body weight (BW). To
assess the totality of the evidence testing the null hypothesis that LES exposure (versus sugars or unsweetened alternatives) has no
effect on EI or BW, we conducted a systematic review of relevant studies in animals and humans consuming LES with ad libitum
access to food energy. In 62 of 90 animal studies exposure to LES did not affect or decreased BW. Of 28 reporting increased BW, 19
compared LES with glucose exposure using a specific ‘learning’ paradigm. Twelve prospective cohort studies in humans reported
inconsistent associations between LES use and body mass index (−0.002 kg m−2 per year, 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.009 to
0.005). Meta-analysis of short-term randomized controlled trials (129 comparisons) showed reduced total EI for LES versus sugarsweetened food or beverage consumption before an ad libitum meal (−94 kcal, 95% CI −122 to −66), with no difference versus
water (−2 kcal, 95% CI −30 to 26). This was consistent with EI results from sustained intervention randomized controlled trials
(10 comparisons). Meta-analysis of sustained intervention randomized controlled trials (4 weeks to 40 months) showed that
consumption of LES versus sugar led to relatively reduced BW (nine comparisons; −1.35 kg, 95% CI –2.28 to −0.42), and a similar
relative reduction in BW versus water (three comparisons; −1.24 kg, 95% CI –2.22 to −0.26). Most animal studies did not mimic LES
consumption by humans, and reverse causation may influence the results of prospective cohort studies. The preponderance of
evidence from all human randomized controlled trials indicates that LES do not increase EI or BW, whether compared with caloric or
non-caloric (for example, water) control conditions. Overall, the balance of evidence indicates that use of LES in place of sugar, in
children and adults, leads to reduced EI and BW, and possibly also when compared with water.

INTRODUCTION
Low-energy sweeteners (LES), such as acesulfame-K, aspartame,
saccharin, stevia and sucralose are consumed throughout the
world.1 The history of their use has been accompanied by debate
and disagreements, not least about their potential nutritional
impact. The use of LES to replace or partially replace added sugar
in foods and beverages might well be expected to reduce energy
intake (EI),2–4 yet over recent years there has been widely reported
speculation that consumption of LES might increase the risk of
becoming overweight and obese.5–7
Studies covertly manipulating energy density show higher EI
after consumption of a reduced-energy food or beverage, but that
the degree of energy ‘compensation’ is variable.8 Crucially, energy
compensation is usually lower than the difference in energy
content of the comparison foods/beverages, seemingly being
lowest of all for liquids.8 This suggests that consuming LES in place
of sugar-sweetened products should reduce overall EI, and
particularly so for consumption of beverages, the most popular
OPEN
vehicles for LES.1 The question also arises whether the presence of
LES in beverages affects appetite and EI relative to plain water.1,9
Although the imprecise control of short-term energy balance
predicts that LES consumption should help reduce EI and
therefore reduce risk of overweight and obesity,3,10 it is possible
that, as consumed in everyday life, other effects of LES balance or
even outweigh the energy dilution effect. For example, a low
calorie or ‘diet’ label may cause the consumer to eat a larger
portion of the product or eat more of accompanying foods in the
meal, or eat more later.11–14 More simply, adding sweetness to a
product may increase intake owing to increased palatability.15,16
Or, by ‘uncoupling’ the relationship between sweetness and
energy content, the consumption of LES may undermine the
usefulness of sweetness as a cue in the control of energy
balance.5,17–20
The effects of LES consumption on EI and body weight (BW)
have been the subject of many studies over the past 30 years;
nonetheless there is no clear consensus about this body of
evidence. Taken together, a number of narrative reviews1–4,21–25
and systematic reviews of some types of studies26–30 lead to the

Conclusiones
Conclusiones
•  Se ha establecido una relación de causalidad entre el
consumo de azúcar y bebidas azucaradas con el
aumento de la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad a
nivel mundial
•  Los edulcorantes artificiales no calóricos representan
una alternativa de valor al disminuir el aporte de azúcar
de alimentos y sobre todo bebidas
•  Estudios observacionales han reportado asociación
entre el uso de edulcorantes no calóricos y riesgo de
obesidad
•  No se ha encontrado causalidad para esta relación
•  De la gran cantidad de estudios, de diferente diseño,
publicados, se puede desprender que el uso de
edulcorantes no tendría efectos adversos en baja de
peso ni su mantención.
•  No se ha demostrado beneficio significativo en la baja
de peso con el uso de edulcorantes artificiales.
•  Por qué habría de esperarse que sólo por el hecho de
consumir edulcorantes no calóricos alguien pudiera
perder peso??...
•  Los edulcorantes no calóricos podrían promover la baja
de peso en el contexto de una “dieta” o cambios activos
en la conducta alimentaria.
