Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners: How Much is Too Much? 
Thursday, June 17th, 11:30am-1:00pm ET
Confidence in the use of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCSs) as a safe option for replacement of added sugars has been eroded by the perception that these ingredients are ubiquitous in the food supply, pushing intake to levels of concern. In this session, the safety review process will be overlaid with information about occurrence of LNCSs in the food supply and intakes. From the pediatrician perspective, we will understand how this information plays out in the clinical space and considerations for LNCSs use in situations relevant to children.
