First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at how non-nutritive sweeteners (like those in diet drinks) affect blood sugar control, gut bacteria, and hunger hormones in healthy adults aged 45-79. Over 6 weeks, participants will consume sweeteners or a control, and researchers will measure changes using glucose tests and urine samples. The goal is to understand if these sweeteners have any hidden effects on metabolism.
