on 02024-06-04in a meta-analysis of 11 RCTs, using artificial sweeteners did reduce body weight, but only slightly: “Overall, the NAS [non-calorie artificial sweetener] group showed significantly reduced body weight -1.07 kg (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41 to 1.72). Subgroup analyses in children (aged < 18 years) revealed that the NAS group showed significantly reduced body weight 1.18 kg (95% CI 0.44 to 1.93). However, adults did not have association between NAS and weight. Subgroup analysis of duration showed for the short term that the NAS group had significantly reduced body weight 0.69 kg (95% CI 0.34 to 1.04); and even in long term, the NAS group had significantly reduced body weight 1.32 kg (95% CI 0.32 to 2.31).” #health-care #science #research #medicine #food-additives
