2020
The article describes the consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) in a study cohort of pre-schoolers (4–6-year-old) before the implementation of the Chilean Food Labelling and Advertising Law. It identifies sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics associated with their consumption, and describes the main dietary sources of each NNS sub-type. Findings show it was beverages only that contributed to the intake of the six NNS studied, accounting for 22% of the overall intake of Saccharine and up to 99% of Aspartame intake. Sixty-eight percent of the pre-schoolers consumed at least one source of NNS on the day of the dietary recall.
