The Committee seeks to develop and communicate the science related to how the consumption of LNCSs can contribute to overall health and wellness.

To carry out this mission, the committee focuses on four areas:

  • The role of LNCSs in taste perception and food choices.   
  • The physiologic and metabolic effects of LNCSs.   
  • The role of LNCSs in health and disease.     
  • Research approaches and study designs to investigate effects of LNCSs in the diet.
