最近的健康建议。强力甜味剂是比糖具有更高甜味的化合物。它们在工业产品和家庭中的使用越来越多，以减少与健康风险相关的糖摄入量。在法国，安赛蜜、阿斯巴甜、三氯蔗糖和甜叶菊是消费最多的甜味剂，包括餐桌甜味剂、糖果和口香糖、减肥饮料和乳制品。它们对健康的影响仍不清楚。如果观察到一些短期益处（例如体重管理），那么长期影响仍然存在不确定性，研究报告称，几种慢性疾病（癌症、心血管疾病、糖尿病）的风险增加。因此，世界卫生组织建议不要以控制体重或降低慢性病风险为目的使用它们。相反，应努力减少含糖产品（含糖或甜味剂）的消费并改善饮食的营养质量。

RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH. Intense sweeteners are compounds with a higher sweetening power than sugar. Their use has grown in industrial products and at home to reduce sugar intake, which is associated to health risks. In France, acesulfame K, aspartame, sucralose and Stevia are the most consumed sweeteners, included in table-top sweetener, sweets and chewing-gums, or diet beverages and dairy products. Their impact on health is still unclear. If some short-term benefits, as regards weight management for instance, have been observed, uncertainties remain regarding long-term effects, with studies reporting increased risks for several chronic diseases (cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes). Hence, the World Health Organization recommends not to use them with objective to control weight or reduce chronic disease risk. Instead, efforts should be made to reduce the consumption of sugary products (with sugar or sweeteners) and to improve the nutritional quality of the diet.
