WHO experts said that sweeteners do not help control weight, but can lead to the development of serious diseases.
Sweeteners do not help control weight and do not affect the rate of fat burning. This statement was made by the World Health Organization. According to Medical Xpress, the organization's experts came to this conclusion after examining data from 320 studies.
On the contrary, the regular use of sweeteners in the long term can cause type 2 diabetes or problems with the cardiovascular system, the WHO said.
At the same time, experts pointed to the benefits of free sugars, including glucose, fructose and table sugar. True, they noted, the dose should be less than ten percent of the total calorie intake. This will reduce the risk of excess weight and caries.
