What's in Mom's drink? study tracks sweeteners to baby

NCT ID NCT05379270

Summary

This study aimed to measure how much of two common artificial sweeteners pass from a mother's body into her breast milk and then to her baby. Researchers gave a diet drink containing sucralose and acesulfame-potassium to 82 breastfeeding mothers and then measured the sweetener levels in their milk, blood, and their babies' blood over several days. The goal was to gather basic data to help design future studies on whether early exposure to these sweeteners affects child health.
