RESULTS: While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with short duration and risk factors endpoints mostly show favourable effects on body weight and cardiometabolic parameters when nonsugar sweeteners are used to replaced sugar-sweetened products, observational studies mostly show a positive association between the consumption of nonsugar sweeteners and cardiometabolic diseases. The conflicting results may be explained by the heterogenous nature of nonsugar sweeteners but also likely is a consequence of serious weaknesses of available studies.
CONCLUSIONS: For more evidence-based recommendations for practice and policy, scientifically sound studies with long follow-up are required.
结果:虽然具有短持续时间和风险因素终点的随机对照试验(RCT)大多显示,当使用非糖甜味剂替代含糖产品时,对体重和心脏代谢参数有有利影响。观察性研究大多表明,食用非糖甜味剂与心脏代谢疾病之间存在正相关。矛盾的结果可以通过非糖甜味剂的异质性来解释,但也可能是现有研究严重弱点的结果。
结论:有关更多基于证据的实践和政策建议,需要进行科学的、长期随访的研究。
