Abstract

Beverages containing low-calorie sweeteners (LCSB) offer a lower-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), yet whether they help to reduce total calorie and sugar intake and encourage weight management is unclear. This study examines associations between LCSB consumption and dietary intake in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D), using data collected from participants enrolled in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. LCSB consumption was associated with higher calorie, carbohydrate, total fat, saturated fat, and protein intake. These findings challenge whether LCSB are an effective strategy to reduce total calorie intake and promote weight management, as intended.
