More research is needed on the longer-term use of sugar alcohols. An observational three-year study found an association between erythritol as an added sweetener and cardiovascular disease CVD events, such as stroke and heart attack, in patients with heart disease or risk factors for CVD e.

It is noted that the researchers only checked blood erythritol once at the start of the study. They further investigated with a separate lab study, and found that exposing human platelets to erythritol increased the risk of blood clot formation.

Erythritol occurs naturally in small amounts in fruits, wine, and beer. But the amount of erythritol used as an additive in low-calorie beverages, ice cream, chewing gums, and candies is much higher. The health effects of LCS are inconclusive, with research showing mixed findings.

Research is also looking at potential differences in effects from the various types of LCS. The following reviews research specific to LCS beverages. Long-term observational studies show that regular consumption of LCS beverages reduces calorie intake and promotes less weight gain or weight maintenance, but other research shows no effect, and some studies even show weight gain.

Different comparisons among studies may also produce different results; for example, was LCS beverage intake being compared with SSBs, juice, or water?

The human brain responds to sweetness with signals to eat more. By providing a sweet taste without any calories, however, LCS beverages may cause us to crave more sweet foods and drinks, which can add up to excess calories.

Although hypothetical and not proven in human studies, research is actively looking at proposed mechanisms of LCS beverages that may affect appetite and weight:. At the University of California-San Diego, researchers performed functional MRI scans as volunteers took small sips of water sweetened with sugar or sucralose.

The use of LCS is associated with perceived health risks such as cancer, partially due to earlier research and policy measures concerning the artificial sweeteners saccharin and aspartame. However, these findings were disregarded after extensive review. Since then, there have been no large or long-term human studies to indicate a link between LCS and cancer.

A statement from the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association concluded that when used judiciously, non-nutritive sweeteners including low-calorie sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, and non-caloric sweeteners might help with weight loss or control, and could also have beneficial metabolic effects.

The statement also points out, however, that these potential benefits will not be fully realized if there is a compensatory increase in energy intake from other sources—ultimately saying that at this time there is insufficient data to make a conclusive determination about using non-nutritive sweeteners; more research is needed.

The American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association followed this with a scientific advisory specific to LCS beverages and cardiometabolic health. The advisory outlined the following summary points:. Unpacking WHO guidelines on non-sugar sweeteners.

The first connection with cancer was spurred by the Saccharin Study and Labeling Act of , under which the U.

This product contains saccharin which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Out of 20 studies in laboratory rats that were given high dosages of saccharin for more than one year, none found an increased incidence of bladder cancers, except one, that used a particular breed of male rat susceptible to bladder infections.

However, in the saccharin warning labels were removed because scientists from the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences determined, after reviewing additional research, that humans do not have this same reaction in urine and therefore would not be at increased risk for bladder cancer.

In , the FDA declared saccharin safe for consumption and in the Environmental Protection Agency stated that saccharin was no longer considered a potential hazard to human health.

In , an unsettling scientific study suggested that the rate of increasing brain tumors since could be caused by aspartame, an artificial LCS introduced in Although popular media messages advocated avoiding aspartame products, the scientific community criticized the study for its lack of evidence.

The study did not evaluate if people with brain tumors had consumed aspartame; rather it demonstrated only an observation of two events occurring simultaneously.

Numerous complaints have been made to the FDA about side effects of headache and dizziness after consuming aspartame. Though isolated case reports have confirmed headaches due to aspartame intake, randomized clinical trials have shown mixed results.

For a pound 68 kg woman, this would mean a limit of 2, mg of aspartame daily, equivalent to about eleven ounce cans of diet soda one can contains about mg. They stated that the evidence on cancer risk in humans based on animal and human studies was not convincing, and that more research, specifically longer-term studies with follow-up and randomized controlled trials, were needed.
