There can be constant questions and confusion from patients and clients about low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS). How do I use them? Are they all the same? How do I know they are safe? How do LNCS impact my health?

Consumers are seeking the help of healthcare professionals to determine the difference between eye-catching headlines and evidence-based science. Healthcare professionals have an opportunity to help their patients and clients make informed decisions about what LNCS are the best for their overall health and well-being.
