The State of the Science on Dietary Sweeteners Containing Fructose: Summary and Issues to Be Resolved

This article, published in the Journal of Nutrition (2009;139:1269S-1270S), highlights the discussion of the issues that were raised during a workshop sponsored by the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute and the USDA Agricultural Research Service surrounding the consumption of fructose.

The Tricks Learnt by Human Enteric Pathogens From Phytopathogens to Persist within the Plant Environment

Through recent advances in our understanding of microbial/plant interactions it is becoming apparent that human pathogens, principally, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella are adapted to survive in the plant environment. The aforementioned pathogens have surface epitopes that can bind to plant structures such as stomata to aid attachment. This work was published in Current Opinions in Biotechnology (2010;21:131-136).

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

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

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.
