Position of the American Dietetic Association: appropriate use of nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners
1987
Consumption of sweeteners, both nutritive and non-nutritive, is often regarded as a cause of various health problems. Even though sweeteners do not contribute to the nutritional value of the diet, they do have a role in an otherwise well-balanced diet for persons who choose to use sweeteners. Sucrose and/or corn sweeteners are considered the most frequently used sweeteners. Others considered here are sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, aspartame, saccharin, and cyclamates. The American Dietetic Association recommends that individuals use moderation in their consumption of both nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners.
