ABSTRACT

The main beverages that are drunk by Mexican people are sodas, fresh water with sugar, juice, milk, coffee and tea with sugar, atole, alcoholic and energetic beverages. The beverages with non-caloric sweeteners might be useful to control chronic diseases. The acceptable daily intake of acesulfame K is 40mg/kg, aspartame 15mg/kg, cyclamate 11mg/kg, saccharin 5mg/kg, sucralose 15mg/kg, stevia/ rebaudioside A 4mg/kg. Aspartame: It is 200 times sweeter than sugar. This sweetener must not be given to patients with phenylketonuria. Acesulfame K: It is 100-200 times sweeter than sugar. Its absorption is in small intestine and has renal excretion. There is no evidence of adverse health effects. Saccharine: It is absorbed in the intestine and has renal excretion but without being metabolized. No toxic effects. Sucralose: It is 600 times sweeter than sugar. The chlorination process gives the property of being heat resistant, without losing their sweet taste. No toxic effects for health. Stevia: Natural sweetener. No adverse effects. The role of non-caloric sweeteners in the development of hyperinsulinemia, its impact on the pancreatic reserve or the GLP-1 levels is still on study. In general, for patients with chronic diseases the beverages with non-caloric sweeteners may be an alternative that let them have beverages with better taste. There’s no contraindication in the use of non–caloric sweeteners in seniors, pregnancy, children or teenagers as long as their basic nutritional needs are respected, also that this action doesn’t replace other important interventions.
