Abstract
As governments become aware of the increasing prevalence of obesity in their countries, they install taxes for the amount of sugar in sodas. This is leading to reductions in sugar intake and cardiovascular disease, as predicted, but unintentionally also to considerable increases in the consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). Since many studies on the safety of NNS are highly conflicting, it is unclear at present whether NNS are a healthy substitute for sugar.
