Core Viewpoint - The increasing consumer awareness of sugar control has led to a growing preference for sugar-free and low-sugar beverages that use sweeteners, despite ongoing safety concerns regarding these sweeteners [1][2]. Group 1: Understanding Sugar-Free Beverages - "Sugar-free" does not necessarily mean "no sugar" as it can still contain other types of sugars; products labeled as "sugar-free" must have sugar content less than or equal to 0.5g/100ml [2]. - Products claiming to be "sugar-free" may still contain other sugars like fructose or glucose syrup, which can lead to confusion among consumers [2]. Group 2: Sweeteners and Weight Management - Most sweeteners do not contribute to metabolism and are low in calories, which can help reduce overall energy intake when replacing sugar, aiding in weight management [4]. - However, consuming sweeteners alongside high-calorie foods can still lead to excessive energy intake and potential weight gain, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet and exercise [4]. Group 3: Sweeteners and Diabetes - Diabetes is a metabolic disease not directly caused by sugar or sweeteners; maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for prevention [6]. - Sweeteners do not significantly affect blood sugar levels and are safe for inclusion in the diets of diabetic patients [7].
