Resumo: | Sweeteners provide a sweet taste to foods and are used to replace sucrose and reduce caloric value. Acesulfame potassium, aspartame, sodium cyclamate, saccharin, sucralose and neotame are the artificial sweeteners regulated in Brazil by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA). The consumption of these additives has become controversial due to recent scientific evidence questioning their safety and outcomes regarding weight loss, dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota, insulin resistance, diabetes and cancer. Even today, little is known about the long-term consequences of their consumption. Therefore, this study aimed to carry out a review of artificial sweeteners regulated in Brazil, contextualizing their regulatory framework, the technological implications regarding their use and the effects on health. Considering the now controversial outcomes regarding the consumption of many artificial sweeteners, and the long period in which levels of acceptable daily intake have been in place, it is suggested their consumption should now not be encouraged, being restricted to population groups that have a risk-based physiological or metabolic need to replace sucrose. Also, for these cases, it would be important to differentiate between foods containing different sweeteners (or tabletop sweeteners), to alleviate possible chronic health effects. New studies with more robust and consistent methodologies are required to support the safety assessment reviews of each artificial sweetener. |

O acessulfame de potássio, aspartame, ciclamato de sódio, sacarina, sucralose e neotame são os edulcorantes artificiais regulamentados no Brasil pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). O consumo destes aditivos tem se tornado controverso em função de recentes evidências científicas questionando sua segurança e os desfechos acerca da perda de peso, disbiose da microbiota intestinal, resistência à insulina, diabetes e câncer. Ainda hoje, pouco se sabe sobre as consequências do seu consumo a longo prazo. Portanto o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sobre os edulcorantes artificiais regulamentados no Brasil, contextualizando seu marco regulamentar, as implicações tecnológicas referente à sua utilização e os efeitos à saúde. Considerando os desfechos controversos acerca do consumo de muitos edulcorantes artificiais e a longa data em que os respectivos níveis de ingestão diária aceitável foram publicados, o seu consumo não deveria ser incentivado, ficando restrito aos grupos populacionais que apresentem necessidade fisiológica ou metabólica para a substituição da sacarose. Ainda para estes casos, seria interessante a diversificação entre alimentos contendo os diferentes edulcorantes (ou de adoçantes de mesa), a fim de se amenizar possíveis efeitos crônicos à saúde. Novos estudos com metodologias mais robustas são necessários para embasar as revisões das avaliações de segurança de cada edulcorante artificial.Editora Uningá2022-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/428010.46311/2318-0579.59.eUJ4280Revista Uningá; Vol. 59 (2022); eUJ4280Revista Uningá; v. 59 (2022); eUJ42802318-057910.46311/ru.v59ireponame:Revista Uningá (Online)instname:Centro Universitário Uningáinstacron:UNINGAporenghttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4280/2513https://revista.uninga.br/uninga/article/view/4280/251410.46311/ru.v59i.4280.g251310.46311/ru.v59i.4280.g2514Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Uningáhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDiniz, Juliana Alves dePedreira, Maisa Estefânia de OliveiraMoore, Susan R.Dala-Paula, Bruno Martins 2023-10-17T14:45:06Zoai:ojs.revista.uninga.br:article/4280Revistahttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/indexPUBhttps://revista.uninga.br/uninga/oairevistauninga@uninga.edu.br2318-05792318-0579opendoar:2023-10-17T14:45:06Revista Uningá (Online) - Centro Universitário Uningáfalse |
