The International Dietary Congress is one of the largest scientific events in the field of food and nutrition and is organized by the International Nutritional Sciences Association (IUNS) every four years.
Presenting the latest data on low-calorie sweeteners and the stage of research on their impact on weight management, Professor Anne Raben , from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark , announced the results of a new randomized clinical study in 60 overweight and obese individuals ( European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, accepted for publication), which was designed to compare the effect of daily intake of 1 liter beverage with oligothermal sweeteners, water, low fat milk, and beverages for 6 months, in insulin sensitivity and blood lipids .
It is important that this long-term randomized clinical study found that there was no difference between the different groups of beverages in the insulin sensitivity index after 6 months of continuous consumption . In addition to the effect on blood lipids, daily consumption of sugar beverages was associated with higher levels of total cholesterol and blood triglycerides compared to beverages with oligothermic sweeteners.
The findings of this new randomized clinical trial are of great importance , as claims from individual animal studies suggesting that long-term intake of oligothermic sweeteners may contribute to insulin resistance and hence to type 2 diabetes are once again rejected by studies to people.
Instead, this study confirms that low calorie sweeteners do not affect insulin sensitivity and not have any effect on the risk indicators of type 2 diabetes in people overweight and obese often consume low calorie sweeteners in their efforts to manage the intake of calories and sugar.
