sweeteners → have → acceptable daily intake (ADI)
“Permitted sweeteners have been allocated an acceptable daily intake (ADI), which is the amount of a food additive, expressed as mg/kg body weight, that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without incurring any appreciable health risk.”
low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) → are safe → for consumption
“LNCS are some of the most extensively evaluated dietary constituents, and their safety has been reviewed and confirmed by regulatory bodies globally including the World Health Organisation, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority”
steviol glycosides → responded without questions → GRAS notice for the use of highly purified steviol glycosides obtained from stevia leaves as a general purpose sweetener in food
“In 2008, FDA responded without questions to a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) notice for the use of highly purified steviol glycosides obtained from stevia leaves as a general purpose sweetener in food.”
non-sugar sweeteners → show → no evidence of cancer risk
context: consumption
“Based on the review of both the experimental data on genotoxicity or carcinogenicity of the specific NSS evaluated, and the epidemiological studies it can be concluded that there is no evidence of cancer risk associated to NSS consumption.”
stevioside → is safe → when used as a sweetener
“The conclusion is that Stevia and stevioside are safe when used as a sweetener”
non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) → not exceeded → acceptable daily intake (ADI)
“No children exceeded the ADI of any NNS.”
