Effect of free sugar replacement with non-nutritive sweeteners on metabolic health of high sugar sweetened beverages consumers: role of the gut microbiome

FY 2016-17

Summary
Evidences from the literature suggest that non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) may not be as metabolically safe as they first appeared, and it has been proposed this could be linked to disturbances in the gut microbiome. We thus wish to investigate whether beverages containing steviol glycosides or aspartame/acesulfame K represent safe or detrimental strategies for metabolic health of sugar-sweetened beverage consumers, and whether modulation of the gut microbiome is involved in the resulting impact of these NNS in these subjects.
