AB  - Argues that although intense sweeteners (IS) such as saccharin and
aspartame are perceived by consumers as important aids to dietary and
weight control, there is little evidence to support this optimism. The
result of dietary surveys comparing food intake or weight change in
users and non‐users of IS are difficult to interpret because they are
likely to be confounded by other differences between these groups.
Results from laboratory studies show that reduced‐calorie foods and
drinks have a reduced capacity to inhibit appetite (reduced satiating
power). Therefore the incorporation of IS into the diet cannot be
expected to lead “automatically” to a reduction in energy
intake. Indeed, if users were to assume that such an effect exists, this
might well prove counterproductive. If used wisely, however, IS might
facilitate dietary compliance by increasing the range of foods that can
be included in weight loss or weight maintenance diets.
