A peer review featured in December issue of the Nutrition Bulletin
The International Sweeteners Association (ISA) is delighted to share a new consensus paper, published in the December issue of Nutrition Bulletin, a peer-reviewed journal. This paper, entitled Consensus statement on benefits of low-calorie sweeteners, has been developed by leading international independent experts in the fields of nutrition, epidemiology, psychology, dentistry, weight management, obesity prevention and treatment and diabetes. They include: Sigrid Gibson, Prof Dr Adam Drewnowski, Prof James Hill, Prof Anne-Birgitte Raben, Prof Hely Tuorila, and Prof Eeva Widström.
This paper outlines the beneficial role that low calorie sweeteners can play in diet and lifestyle choices. Conclusions confirm positive results from recent scientific studies showing that LCS do not increase appetite and have no discernible effect on satiety, and can, in fact, enhance weight loss under real-life conditions when used as part of a behavioural weight loss programme.
