Abstract
Background: Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) are used to replace added sugar, yet whether NNS consumers have better or worse diet quality compared to nonconsumers is unclear.
Objective: To investigate cross-sectional associations between NNS consumption and diet quality.
Methods: Data from participants in the American Cancer Society (ACS) Cancer Prevention Study-3 cohort were used for this analysis. NNS intake was estimated using self-reported consumption of NNS-containing beverages, packets, and yogurt from a validated food frequency questionnaire. Participants were categorized into nonconsumers, <1 serving, 1 to <2 servings and ≥2 servings per day. Diet quality was assessed using the ACS diet score (2020) and Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015). Analysis of variance was used to compare diet quality scores across NNS consumption groups, and multivariable linear regression was used to examine associations between NNS consumption and diet quality. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the odds of low diet quality across NNS consumption groups.
Results: Data from 163,679 participants [median age 53 y (IQR 45-60), 78.9% females, mean NNS intake 1.0 ± 1.5 servings/d, mean HEI-2015 score 75.4 ± 10.2] were included. NNS consumers had lower diet quality for ACS diet score (6.8 ± 0.03 among nonconsumers compared with 6.5 ± 0.03, 6.3 ± 0.03, and 6.1± 0.03 for consumers of <1 serving, 1 to <2 servings, and ≥2 servings of NNS per day, respectively, P-trend < 0.0001) and HEI-2015 (76.3 ± 0.1 among nonconsumers compared with 76.7 ± 0.1, 75.6 ± 0.2, and 72.7± 0.2 for consumers of <1 serving, 1 to <2 servings, and ≥2 servings of NNS per day, respectively, P-trend < 0.0001). Odds of low diet quality were higher among NNS consumers and were higher with higher NNS consumption (3%, 17%, and 43% higher odds of low diet quality among those who consumed <1 serving, 1 to <2 servings and ≥2 servings of NNS per day).
Conclusions: NNS consumers have lower diet quality in a large cohort of adults in the United States.
期刊介绍：
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is recognized as the most highly rated peer-reviewed, primary research journal in nutrition and dietetics.It focuses on publishing the latest research on various topics in nutrition, including but not limited to obesity, vitamins and minerals, nutrition and disease, and energy metabolism.
Purpose:
The purpose of AJCN is to:
Publish original research studies relevant to human and clinical nutrition.
Consider well-controlled clinical studies describing scientific mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of dietary interventions in the context of disease prevention or health benefits.
Encourage public health and epidemiologic studies relevant to human nutrition.
Promote innovative investigations of nutritional questions employing epigenetic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches.
Include solicited editorials, book reviews, solicited or unsolicited review articles, invited controversy position papers, and letters to the Editor related to prior AJCN articles.
Peer Review Process:
All submitted material with scientific content undergoes peer review by the Editors or their designees before acceptance for publication.
