Data concerning effects of aspartame on main metabolic variables associated to diabetes and obesity do not support a beneficial related to its consumption
ABSTRACT Data about harms or benefits associated with the consumption of aspartame , a nonnutritive sweetener worldwide consumed , are still controversial .
This systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled clinical trials aim ed to assess the effect of aspartame consumption on  metabolic parameters related to diabetes and obesity .
Consuming aspartame with and without taste: Differential effects on appetite and food intake of young adult males
Despite some reports that aspartame (APM)-sweetened beverages may increase subjective appetite , previously we demonstrated that drinking 280 ml of an APM-sweetened soft drink ( 170 mg APM ) had no effect on appetite , and 560 ml of the same soft drink ( 340 mg APM ) reduced appetite . The present study examined this appetite reduction to determine its cause . Eighteen normal weight young adult males received five treatments ( beverage preloads ) at 1100 h in a r and omized order , one per week : 280 ml of carbonated mineral water ( CMW ) ( control ) , 560 ml of CMW , 280 ml of CMW with 340 mg of encapsulated APM , 280 ml of CMW sweetened with 340 mg APM , 560 ml of an APM-sweetened soft drink ( 340 mg APM ) . Subjective hunger and food appeal were measured from 0930 a.m. to 1230 h , and food intake from a buffet lunch offered at 1205 h was measured . Treatment had no effect on food intake or macronutrient selection . Both 560 ml of CMW or soft drink suppressed appetite , although 280 ml of APM-sweetened mineral water significantly increased subjective appetite relative to the control . Encapsulated APM had no effect on appetite . Therefore , appetite reduction following consumption of an APM-sweetened drink is likely due to drink volume and not the APM content . In addition , consuming APM-sweetened CMW produces a short-term increase in subjective appetite
