“…Sweeteners are all those substances or additives, other than monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, or sugars, that can give a characteristic sweet taste to the products of different industries, especially the food industry [ 1 ]. The foregoing allows generating a pleasant sensation on the consumer’s palate and arouse preference for these industrialized products, making them the most consumed from the first stages of life [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”

Analysis of Caloric and Noncaloric Sweeteners Present in Dairy Products Aimed at the School Market and Their Possible Effects on Health

Over the past decades, Mexico has become one of the main sweetener-consuming countries in the world. Large amounts of these sweeteners are in dairy products aimed at the children’s market in various presentations such as yogurt, flavored milk, flan, and cheeses. Although numerous studies have shown the impact of sweeteners in adults, the current evidence for children is insufficient and discordant to determine if these substances have any risk or benefit on their well-being. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the sweeteners present in 15 dairy products belonging to the school-age children’s market in Mexico and their impact on health. These dairy products were selected through a couple of surveys directed at parents of school-age children. After that, the list of ingredients of each product was analyzed to identify their sweetener content. From there, exhaustive bibliographic research on sweeteners and their possible health effects was carried out, which included 109 articles and 18 studies. The results showed that at a neurological, endocrinological, cardiovascular, metabolic, osseous, renal, hepatic, dental, reticular, carcinogenic, and gut microbiota level; sucrose, fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrins, sucralose, and acesulfame K, have a negative effect. While maltodextrins, stevia, polydextrose, and modified starch have a positive one. For these reasons, it is necessary to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages that the consumption of each sweetener entails, as well as a determination of the appropriate acceptable daily intake (ADI).

“…These additives have been shown to be safe in terms of toxicity if consumed below the acceptable daily intake. Pediatric organizations have recognized there may be benefits of NNS for children, but also have expressed concerns and uncertainties about their use; several recommendations agree on avoiding their use among young children [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Sugars and other sweeteners contribute to the sweet taste of foods; exposure to this taste could alter appetite regulation and preferences for sweet products. Despite this, there is no widely accepted methodology for estimating overall diet sweetness. The objective of this study was to develop a methodology to estimate diet sweetness and describe diet sweetness in a cohort of Chilean infants. In order to estimate diet sweetness density, the sweetness intensity of foods was obtained from existing databases and from sensory evaluations in products with no available information and then linked to 24-h dietary recalls of infants at 12 and 36 months of age. Diet sweetness density was significantly and positively associated with total sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners intakes. The main food sources of sweetness at 12 months were fruits (27%) and beverages (19%). Sweetness density increased 40% between 12 and 36 months (from 1196 to 1673, p < 0.01), and sweetness density at both ages was significantly associated. At 36 months, beverages and dairy products were the main sources of sweetness (representing 32.2% and 28.6%, respectively). The methodology presented here to estimate the sweetness density of the diet could be useful for other studies to help elucidate different effects of exposure to high sweetness.

“…The consumption of sugars in a balanced way in the daily diet has important properties since it favors the rapid supply of glucose to the brain and muscle, carbohydrates being essential for the development of cognitive functions and physical activity. Cane sugar or sucrose has been the sweetener par excellence for centuries; however, its excessive intake has been linked to different conditions: obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (Gil-Campos et al 2015).…”

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni has non-caloric sweetening properties and its use has been linked to therapeutic effects. However, Stevia sp is sold as a substitute for sugar commercially, not only includes steviosides but is also combined with other high-intensity artificial sweeteners, which questions its safety. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of natural and artificial Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni on fatigue and oxidative stress of skeletal muscle. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into: (C) rats receiving water, (S); rats receiving 41.2 g/L sucrose solution (SRA); rats receiving solution with commercial sweetener (Svetia) 6 g/L; (SRN); rats receiving solution with the dried and powdered leaf of the Stevia sp. plant. 4.4 g/L. Eight weeks after the treatment, muscle tension recording, and measurement of oxidative stress markers were performed: levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and catalase activity. Additionally, body weight, postprandial glucose, and food intake were recorded throughout the experiment. The SRA caused an increase in body weight and a significant reduction in the resistance time to muscle fatigue and the maximum and total muscle tension force. Treatment with SRN caused significant improvements in the parameters studied (p <0.05). We conclude that natural S. rebaudiana is an essential alternative for weight control and the development of antioxidant defense against muscle fatigue but not in synergy with artificial sweeteners.
