  • Premisecitation

    Peripheral sweet taste receptors do not differentiate nutritive sweeteners from low-calorie sweeteners when sweetness is matched.

    “These peripheral receptors do not distinguish between nutritive sweeteners and LCS when these compounds are equated for sweetness (15).”
    Quote in the paperNot a substantial claim1 of 1 sources checked
    • cites [15] Jang, 2007, Gut-expressed gustducin and taste receptors regulate secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. source

      The Results (page not available in our copy) show that glucose and sucrose, as well as noncaloric sucralose, stimulated GLP-1 release from a human enteroendocrine cell line. The paper does not report comparing these sweeteners at matched sweetness or establish that peripheral receptors cannot distinguish between them. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Premisecitation

    Sweet taste receptors occur in the mouth and also in other tissues, especially the gut and pancreas.

    “Sweet taste receptors are expressed not only in the mouth but also in other areas, particularly the gut and pancreas (13, 14).”

  • Interpretationcitation

    The pain-relieving effect of sweet taste may depend on afferent signals from the mouth rather than on gastric or metabolic changes.

    “Given that the administration of sucrose by direct stomach loading was ineffective (37), it may be that afferent signals from the mouth, rather than gastric or metabolic changes, are responsible for the analgesic properties of sweet tastes.”

    Among 5158 normal-weight or nonobese adults, drinking more than 21 low-calorie sweetened beverages per week was associated with twice the obesity risk 7-8 years later compared with nonusers.

    “In humans, Fowler et al. reported that for individuals (n = 5158) who were normal weight or nonobese (BMI <30), consumption of >21 LCS beverages/wk was associated with twice the risk of obesity at follow-up 7–8 y later compared with nonusers (66, 67).”

      The passage discussing Fowler et al. (section labeled Abstract; page unavailable) reports the baseline BMI criterion, more than 21 non-nutritively sweetened beverages per week, and about double the obesity risk versus nonusers seven to eight years later. It does not give the sample size of 5,158, so that detail is not verified by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • Premisecitation

    Infants regularly given sweetened water in early months showed stronger preference for sweetened water later in infancy and years afterward.

      The Discussion (p. 2) reports heightened sweet preference in the second year of life and in children aged 6–10 after sugar-water feeding in infancy; the childhood finding is also reported in the Results (p. 1). The copy does not specify that feeding occurred during the first months of life, rather than at another point in infancy. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Premisecitation

    Young children prefer more intensely sweet solutions than adults, and a more adult-like preference pattern appears during adolescence.

    “The most striking effect was that young children liked more intensely sweet solutions than did adults, with the more adult-like pattern emerging only during adolescence (29, 30).”

      The introduction says infants prefer sweeter solutions up to an optimal concentration, and the Discussion reports that sweet-taste preference declined between ages 11–15 and 19–25 in a longitudinal study. The paper does not establish that young children prefer more intensely sweet solutions than adults, or that an adult-like pattern emerges only during adolescence.

    Sucrose did not effectively relieve pain in children with depressive symptoms or in overweight children, even though depressed children reported greater liking for sweet foods and candies.

    “However, sucrose was not an effective analgesic for children exhibiting depressive symptoms (40) or for overweight children (39) despite the finding that children who were depressed reported a greater liking for sweet-tasting foods and candies (40).”

    Interpretationcitation

    Some children may be more sensitive to the unpleasant aftertastes of low-calorie sweeteners because children are more sensitive to bitter tastes than adults.

    “Because children are more sensitive to bitter tastes than are adults (45, 57), some children may be more sensitive to the unpleasant aftertastes of these LCS.”
    Quote in the paperSubstantial claim1 of 2 sources checked
    • cites [45] Mennella, 2005, Genetic and environmental determinants of bitter perception and sweet preferences., Pediatrics. source
    • cites [57] Mennella, 2010, Age modifies the genotype-phenotype relationship for the bitter receptor TAS2R38., BMC Genet. source

      The Background says younger people are more sensitive than older people to the bitterness of PROP or PTC. The Results narrow the observed child–adult difference to AVI/PAV heterozygotes; it was not observed in the other genotypes studied. Thus the cited paper supports an age-related difference in some bitter-taste responses, but not the unqualified statement that children are more sensitive to bitter tastes generally. The suggestion about low-calorie-sweetener aftertastes is the citing authors’ inference, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Adults prefer lower sweetness intensity in foods and beverages than children and adolescents do, and men tend to prefer higher intensities than women.

    “The preferred intensity of sweetness in foods and beverages is lower in adults than in children and adolescents (46, 72); studies suggest that men prefer higher intensities than women (72, 73).”

    After FDA approval, low-calorie sweeteners entered the food supply and enabled sweet-tasting foods and beverages with little or no energy.

    “The introduction of several low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) into the food supply, following approval by the U.S. FDA, has led to the creation of beverages and foods that taste sweet but provide less or no energy [see (5,6) for reviews].”

    In a 930-participant study, children most preferred 0.54 mol/L sucrose, equal to about 11 tsp (~44 g) sugar in 8 oz water, nearly twice the sugar concentration of typical cola.

    “For example, in a recent study of 930 participants, children most preferred a 0.54-mol/L sucrose concentration (32) that was equivalent to 11 tsp (~44 g) of sugar in an 8-oz (240 mL) glass of water, nearly twice the sugar concentration of a typical cola.”

    A sweet solution in an infant's mouth reduces pain responses, and sweet taste perception acts through endogenous opioid and nonopioid systems to block pain afferents.

    “A sweet-tasting solution placed in an infant’s mouth can reduce responses to painful stimuli; sweet taste perception mediates both endogenous opioid and nonopioid systems to block pain afferents (34).”

      The Antinociception section reports reduced pain responses when sucrose was placed on the tongues of rat pups, and the paper's rat experiments suggest endogenous opioids may contribute to sucrose-induced analgesia. It does not establish this effect in human infants or show that sweet taste activates both opioid and nonopioid systems to block pain afferents; the same section says the connection between taste and pain mechanisms is unknown.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Pediatric research on behavioral and physiological responses to low-calorie sweeteners and on the consequences of adding them to children's diets is scarce.

    “In contrast, there is a paucity of pediatric research on the behavioral and physiological responses to LCS per se and the potential consequences of incorporating LCS into children’s diets.”

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Little is known about how low-calorie sweeteners affect children's food acceptance, eating patterns, and growth.

    “Although our food supply now includes several LCS that provide sweetness with less energy (6), we know little of their impact on children’s food acceptance, eating patterns, and growth.”

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The capacity to compensate for variation in energy intake declines with age.

    “The ability to compensate for variability in energy intake seems to decrease with age; thus, the impact of LCS use in the weight management of children may not parallel that of adults.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on.
