Sweet Success: The Effectiveness of Low-Calorie Sweeteners for Weight Management and Energy Intake Control

Description: Although low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) have long been considered an important tool for providing sweet taste with low or no calories, there has been much debate over their role in weight management and reducing energy intake. A new in-depth look at the evidence may put much of that debate to rest. PepsiCo Health & Nutrition Sciences and Katherine Appleton, PhD, of Bournemouth University, an author of the evidence-based assessment, and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist Constance Brown-Riggs, MSEd, RDN, CDCES, CDN, discuss these new findings and the practical applications for Registered Dietitians.
