This article perpetuates a series of myths about low-calorie sweeteners that are simply not supported by the body of science. The reality is low-calorie sweeteners are among the most tested and reviewed ingredients in our food supply, and have been extensively researched over decades. What has the overwhelming body of science confirmed time and again? That low-calorie sweeteners are indeed safe, as well as an effective tool in managing calories to either lose or manage weight. Here’s just one example of a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that reinforces this point: http://bit.ly/Ik4zjC.
Let’s talk about aspartame, specifically. While the media continues to malign this ingredient, science has repeatedly debunked the alarmist allegations against aspartame. The latest finding? The European Food Safety Authority conducted a large-scale risk assessment reviewing aspartame, confirming once again that aspartame is safe for consumption by the general population, including pregnant women. These findings also make clear that aspartame does not cause cancer, harm the brain or nervous system or affect behavior or cognitive function in children or adults.
In other words, consumers should have complete confidence in enjoying beverages and foods containing low-calorie sweeteners, including aspartame.
