SWEET

Sweeteners and sweetness enhancers: Impact on health, obesity, safety and sustainability

The overall aim of the randomised controlled trial SWEET (S&SEs: Prolonged effects on health, obesity and safety) is to investigate the efficacy and safety of combined (foods and drinks) and prolonged use of S&SEs—as part of a whole healthy ad libitum diet approach—in a population of overweight adults and children. The two primary outcomes on efficacy and safety will be assessed in adults by 1-year changes in body weight and 1-year changes in gut microbiota related to metabolic health outcomes, respectively. Secondary objectives concern effects on obesity-related risk factors such as fat mass, glucose metabolism and lipidemia as well as safety aspects such as allergenicity. Other outcomes include appetite sensations, food cravings, food preferences and preference for sweet taste.

Population: adult & paediatric | Intervention type: therapeutic medicinal product
