Do zero-calorie sweeteners increase the risk of diabetes? Translation

increase the risk of diabetes

last month made headlines in the New York Times. But experts say they are skeptical of recent research.of negative news about artificial sweeteners, and in another news release last month, a study in the journal
Nature
suggested that they may promote glucose insuperance to
,
a risk factor for diabetes.food safety agencies, including the European Food Safety Authority
(EFSA)
, have again and again refuted concerns about artificial sweetener intake. Since aspartas
was first approved for use in Europe in
, the European Food Safety Authority has revised asparta's safety six times, most recently last year. They argue that there is no reason to change the safety of sweeteners at current intake levels.same time, researchers continue to study the potential risks of zero-calorie sweetener intake.latest study focused on feeding mice water with saccharin, asparta sweetening and sucralose, the maximum amount allowed by the U.S.
FDA
. Compared to mice fed water or sugary water, the team found that the mice were more likely to develop poor glucose tolerance.sweetener: not a panacea Said Nita Forouhi

"
the study warns that calorie-free artificial sweeteners do not show their magical aim of curbing obesity and diabetes, but they do not provide enough evidence to change public health and clinical practice.
”The main reason was that the study was conducted in mice, and only
7
were involved. In addition,
only
4 out of
7
mice showed adverse reactions to glucose. Although the study of mice is often a useful first step in the study of humans, their diet and physiological functions are still very different from those of us humans.

the
" study has little to do with humans.
”She points out that a typical mouse diet consists of
60%
of fat and about
25%
of carbohydrates, while a person's diet tends to be
30%
of fat and
50%
of carbohydrate."
dietary characteristics of this mouse are bound to affect the results that have been found, "

said.
“......
Higher carbohydrate intake in humans is innate, so no matter what we swallow, gut bacteria happily digest it, as evidenced by their symbication with cells inside and outside our gut.
is significantly different from laboratory mice, and this distinction cannot be discounted even when trying to suggest cross-species effects. This isn't the first time zero-calorie sweeteners have been linked to metabolic effects, but experts have been called for more controlled studies in humans. Dr
Katrina Kos
, senior lecturer and consultant in diabetes and endocrinology at the University of Exeter, said: ' larger human research and funding is urgently needed to control total calorie intake.
” It has also been claimed that zero-calorie sweeteners increase the demand for sweets and sweet drinks, which can be harmful. A recent study that validated this hypothesis showed that those who ate soft drinks on a diet did not eat more sugary or fatty foods.
