During the last few decades, consumption of low-calorie sweeteners, as a substitute for caloric has sharply increased. Although research shows that versus sweeteners can have differential effects on brain, it is unknown which neuronal populations are responsible detecting difference between two types sweeteners. Using in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, we investigated how drinking sucrose or s...

Background: Low-caloric sweeteners represent a good alternative to the extra boost of energy sugar-sweetened beverages. However, their long-term effects have barely been assessed. In present study, influence low-caloric added maqui/Citrus beverage on glycemic profile has evaluated. Methods: A parallel, randomized and triple blind clinical study was performed in overweight subjects (n = 138), wh...

Metabolic syndrome is a multifactorial disorder originating from central obesity through high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle. increases the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) disease, converting it to one costliest chronic diseases, which reduces life quality. A strategy proposed by food industry reduce this problem generation low-caloric products using sweeteners, are compounds that can sub...

BACKGROUND The major metabolic complications of obesity and type 2 diabetes may be prevented and managed with dietary modification. The use of sweeteners that provide little or no calories may help to achieve this objective. METHODS We did a systematic review and network meta-analysis of the comparative effectiveness of sweetener additives using Bayesian techniques. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL a...

Evidence suggests that excessive intake of added sugars has adverse effects on cardiometabolic health, which is consistent with many reviews and consensus reports from WHO and other unbiased sources. 74% of products in the US food supply contain caloric or low-calorie sweeteners, or both. Of all packaged foods and beverages purchased by a nationally representative sample of US households in 201...

Animals may use sweet taste to predict the caloric contents of food. Eating sweet noncaloric substances may degrade this predictive relationship, leading to positive energy balance through increased food intake and/or diminished energy expenditure. These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that experiences that reduce the validity of sweet taste as a predictor of the caloric or nut...

INTRODUCTION Recently has been documented that the consumption of sweetened non-caloric beverages has increased as an option to weight control, however randomized control trials have demonstrated a modest weight loss. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of reducing consumption of beverage with caloric and non-caloric sweeteners on weight, body composition and blood pressure in young Mexican adul...

Rates of overweight and obesity have been on a steady rise for decades, and the problems society faces from this and associated metabolic diseases are many. As a result, the need to understand the contributing factors is great. A very compelling case can be made that excess sugar consumption has played a significant role. In addition, fructose, as a component of the vast majority of caloric swe...

The use of natural low-caloric sweeteners as sugar-substitute to formulate foods suitable for people with diabetes has increased in the last years due high incidence metabolic syndrome. Chocolate is a vehicle functional ingredients such probiotics that improve health diabetes. objective this study was evaluate physicochemical properties (texture, instrumental color, and water activity) consumer...
