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.

Introduction to the Workshop

Journal of Nutrition, 2012

While there is a growing body of research on low-calorie sweeteners (LCS), the information has not been pulled together cohesively to allow an evaluation of the existing science. This 1.5-day workshop aimed to clarify the state of the science around the utility of LCS for weight management.

Mechanisms for Sweetness

Journal of Nutrition, 2012

This article reviews these data,with a particular focus on the elucidation of the sweet taste receptor, its location and actions in taste transduction in the mouth, its nontaste functions in the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., in enteroendocrine cells), and the brain circuitry involved in the sensory processing of sweet taste.

Sweetness, Satiation, and Satiety

Journal of Nutrition, 2012

Many studies have examined the various sensory, cognitive, postingestive, and postabsorptive factors that can potentially contribute to the inhibition of eating, with careful attention to study design, crucial for correct interpretation of the results. This review discusses the satiating power of foods and drinks containing nutritive and nonnutritive sweeteners.

The Use of Low-Calorie Sweeteners by Adults: Impact on Weight Management

Journal of Nutrition, 2012

The aim of this review is to gain clarity on the role of LCS in weight management and their impact on diet quality. In addition, because the majority of studies aimed at identifying associations between low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) and these outcomes are based on observational data, the pitfalls in designing and evaluating data from observational studies are also discussed.

The Use of Low-Calorie Sweeteners by Children: Implications for Weight Management

Journal of Nutrition, 2012

The rise in pediatric obesity since the 1970s has been well established in the United States and is becoming a major concern worldwide. As a potential means to help slow the obesity epidemic, low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) have gained attention as dietary tools to assist in adherence to weight loss plans or prevention of excess weight gain.
