Abstract in brief

  • Artificial sweeteners (NNS) are widely used as calorie-reducing substitutes for sugar in various products, but evidence does not confirm they are beneficial and may even cause harm.
  • Research shows that NNS offer little to no benefit, especially for people with obesity or prediabetes, and may negatively impact the body's regulation of hunger, satiety, and energy balance.
  • Most studies favoring NNS are biased or short-term, often funded by food companies, and overlook individual differences like gender or health status that could influence how these sweeteners affect physiologic processes.
