When comparing NNS vs sucrose , significant weight/ BMI differences appeared favouring NNS .
Consumption of NNS led to significantly negative weight/ BMI differences in unrestricted energy diets , but not in weight-reduction diets .
Participants with overweight/obesity and adults showed significant favourable weight/ BMI differences with NNS .
Data suggest that replacing sugar with NNS leads to weight reduction , particularly in participants with overweight/obesity under an unrestricted diet , information that could be utilized for evidence -based public policy decisions
There is an ongoing debate about the possible influences of nonnutritive sweeteners ( NNS ) on body weight .
We conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) with NNS to assess their impact on body weight .
Effects of sucrose drinks on macronutrient intake, body weight, and mood state in overweight women over 4 weeks
The long-term effects of sucrose on appetite and mood remain unclear . Normal weight subjects compensate for sucrose added blind to the diet ( Reid et al. , 2007 ) . Overweight subjects , however , may differ . In a single-blind , between-subjects design , soft drinks ( 4x25cl per day ; 1800kJ sucrose sweetened versus 67kJ aspartame sweetened ) were added to the diet of overweight women ( n=53 , BMI 25 - 30 , age 20 - 55 ) for 4 weeks . A 7-day food diary gave measures of total energy , carbohydrate , protein , fat , and micronutrients . Mood and hunger were measured by ten single Likert scales rated daily at 11.00 , 14.00 , 16.00 , and 20.00 . Activity levels were measured by diary and pedometer . Baseline energy intake did not differ between groups . During the first week of the intervention energy intake increased slightly in the sucrose group , but not in the aspartame group , then decreased again , so by the final week intake again did not differ from the aspartame group . Compensation was not large enough to produce significant changes in the composition of the voluntary diet . There were no effects on hunger or mood . It is concluded that overweight women do not respond adversely to sucrose added blind to the diet , but compensate for it by reducing voluntary energy intake . Alternative explanations for the correlation between sugary soft drink intake and weight gain are discussed
