The World Health Organization advises against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control due to potential long-term side effects, including an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Registered Dietician Shanthi Appelo recommends replacing sweeteners with natural sugars like fruit and consuming non-sugar sweeteners or sugary snacks in moderation.
Splenda CEO responds to the World Health Organization's guidance on non-sugar sweeteners, stating that low- and no-calorie sweeteners like Splenda are safe and effective for reducing sugar, weight loss, and managing non-communicable diseases like diabetes. The WHO recommends the short-term use of non-sugar sweeteners for weight loss, but with low certainty and without considering those with prediabetes and diabetes. Splenda disagrees with the WHO's recommendation against the long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners and emphasizes the importance of a balanced lifestyle with healthy eating, exercise, and the use of Splenda to replace sugar.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised against using non-sugar sweeteners to control weight, citing potential health risks. The recommendation is based on a systematic review of the scientific literature, which found that not only do non-sugar sweeteners not help with long-term reduction of body fat, but long-term use of the ingredients may increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and early death. The WHO noted that the guidance isn’t a recommendation to eat more real sugar instead, but to reduce the overall sweetness of the daily diet.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised people not to use non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) to control weight or avoid certain diseases. WHO officials say evidence shows that the popular sweeteners are not effective over the long term when it comes to reducing body fat among adults and children. Furthermore, the WHO says, the study suggests that use of the sweeteners may have “undesirable effects” when used over long periods of time, including the elevated risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and mortality in adults. The recommendation applies to “all synthetic and naturally occurring or modified non-nutritive sweeteners that are not classified as sugars.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised against the use of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) for weight control or managing noncommunicable diseases, citing a lack of evidence for long-term benefits and possible links to Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mortality in adults. The WHO recommends reducing the sweetness of diets overall and consuming food with naturally occurring sugars instead. The guidance includes all synthetic or natural sweeteners that aren’t classified as sugars in manufactured foods, except for those with preexisting diabetes.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its guidance on weight management, recommending against using non-sugar sweeteners. The WHO found that using artificial sweeteners to manage weight does not have any long-term benefit in reducing fat in adults and children. Worse, the review found that non-sugar sweeteners increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and mortality in adults. The WHO recommends replacing free sugars with natural sweeteners like fruit as a preferred alternative.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a new guideline advising against the use of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) for weight control or reducing the risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The recommendation is based on a systematic review of evidence suggesting that NSS does not confer any long-term benefit in reducing body fat and may have potential health risks, such as an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and mortality in adults. The WHO recommends reducing the sweetness of the diet altogether, starting early in life, to improve health.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a guideline on the use of non-sugar sweeteners to reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain and diet-related noncommunicable diseases in adults and children. The guideline is intended for a wide audience involved in the development, design, and implementation of policies and programs in nutrition and public health. It includes a recommendation on the use of non-sugar sweeteners, which can be used by policy-makers and program managers to address non-sugar sweetener use in their populations through a range of policy actions and public health interventions.
