In healthy subjects , appetite and short term food intake , risk of cancer , risk of diabetes , risk of dental caries , weight gain and risk of obesity are the most investigated health outcomes .
Overall there is no conclusive evidence for beneficial and harmful effects on those outcomes .
In subjects with diabetes and hypertension , the evidence regarding health outcomes of NNS use is also inconsistent .
Background Food products containing non-nutritive sweeteners ( NNSs ) instead of sugar have become increasingly popular in the last decades .
Their appeal is obviously related to their calorie-free sweet taste .
However , with the dramatic increase in their consumption , it is reasonable and timely to evaluate their potential health benefits and , more importantly , potential adverse effects .
The main aim of this scoping review was to map the evidence about health outcomes possibly associated with regular NNS consumption by examining the extent , range , and nature of research activity in this area .
Effect of Television Viewing at Mealtime on Food Intake After a Glucose Preload in Boys
Television viewing ( TVV ) is considered a contributing factor to the development of childhood obesity yet it is unclear whether obesity results , in part , from increased energy intake during TVV . The objective of this study was to determine the effect of TVV on food intake ( FI ) of boys at a meal and its effect on caloric compensation at the test meal after a premeal glucose drink . On four separate mornings and in r and om order , boys received equally sweetened preloads containing Splenda sucralose or glucose [ 1.0 g/kg body weight ( BW ) ] in 250 mL of water 2 h after a st and ard breakfast . Food intake from a pizza meal was measured 30 min later with or without TVV . Both preload treatment ( p < 0.01 ) and TVV ( p < 0.001 ) affected FI ( kcal ) .  TVV  increased lunchtime FI by an average of 228 kcal . Glucose suppressed FI in the no TVV condition compared with control , but the effect was not statistically significant during TVV .  Body composition and subjective appetite scores were positively associated with FI at the test lunch . In conclusion , TVV while eating a meal contributes to increased energy intake by delaying normal mealtime satiation and reducing satiety signals from previously consumed foods
