Project Summary
Title and Description
Title | Low-calorie sweeteners and body weight and composition: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies | |
Description | The objective of this project is to systematically review and quantitatively evaluate randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies, separately, that examined the relationship between low-calorie sweeteners and body weight and composition. | |
Methodology | A systematic literature search identified 15 randomized controlled trials and 9 prospective cohort studies that examined low-calorie sweeteners from foods or beverages, or low-calorie sweeteners consumed as tabletop sweeteners. Meta-analyses generated weighted mean differences in body weight and composition values between the low-calorie sweetener and control groups among randomized controlled trials, and weighted mean correlations for low-calorie sweetener intake and these parameters among prospective cohort studies. | |
