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.

Sweetness and Food Preference

Throughout evolution, sweetness has had a role in human nutrition, helping to orient feeding behavior toward foods providing both energy and essential nutrients. However, their use has led to further concerns that dissociating sweetness from energy may disrupt the balance between taste response, appetite, and consumption patterns, especially during development.
