Description
Low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCSs) impart sweetness while providing little or no energy. Over the past several decades, the number of sweeteners that have been approved or reviewed for use by regulatory agencies has increased. This review focused on the independent effects of each LNCS. This is a dynamic area of research with new evidence being added continuously. This review suggests that LNCSs, when used alone, are safe and most may aid weight management.Learning Objectives

- Discuss evidence associated with LNCS use, safety issues, and global/national recommendations for use.
- Explain the authors' methodology for retrieving and evaluating the evidence for their narrative review.
- Identify authors' conclusions of the narrative review on LNCS and weight management efficacy.
Learning Outcomes
By the conclusion of this activity, a majority of participants will demonstrate knowledge of low and no calorie sweetener (LNCS) safety and weight management efficacy by achieving a passing score the posttest.Disclosures
