29 Jul 2020 --- The purchasing of foods and beverages (F&B) containing caloric sweeteners (CS), or sugar, declined between 2002 and 2018 in the US, according to a new study. Within that same period, purchases of products containing both caloric sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), or sugar substitutes, increased. These findings highlight that tracking of consumers’ exposure to specific types of sweeteners is needed to understand their health implications – a topic where the scientific community has not reached a consensus.
