WHO warns against non-sugar sweeteners for weight loss and health risks.
TL;DR
The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its guidance on weight management, recommending against using non-sugar sweeteners. The WHO found that using artificial sweeteners to manage weight does not have any long-term benefit in reducing fat in adults and children. Worse, the review found that non-sugar sweeteners increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and mortality in adults. The WHO recommends replacing free sugars with natural sweeteners like fruit as a preferred alternative.
