“These peripheral receptors do not distinguish between nutritive sweeteners and LCS when these compounds are equated for sweetness (15).”

- Partly supportedcites [15] Jang, 2007, Gut-expressed gustducin and taste receptors regulate secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
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)

“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.”

What the sources say
- Supportedcites [37] Ramenghi, 1999, “Sucrose analgesia”: absorptive mechanism or taste perception?, Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. source
The Discussion (p. F147) reports that sucrose reduced pain responses when given into the mouth but not directly into the stomach. It proposes recruitment of the taste sense as the mechanism and concludes that taste is essential for sucrose analgesia in neonates undergoing minor painful procedures. This supports the citing sentence’s hedged contrast between signals from the mouth and gastric or absorptive effects. (LLM, conf=0.92)

“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.”

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)

The Introduction says that five nonnutritive sweeteners were FDA-approved and that the food industry sought approval for their inclusion in the diet. It also describes substituting them in products for nutritive sweeteners to preserve sweetness without their energy value; the NNS and Energy Intake section gives a non-caloric sweetened beverage as an example.

The Results and Discussion report greater weight gain in rats given saccharin-sweetened yogurt than in those given glucose-sweetened yogurt. Caloric-compensation tests also found more complete compensation in the glucose-yogurt group, although that result depended on the order in which diets were given. (LLM, conf=0.90)

“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.”

The age-related differences in task completion and reliability section reports an analysis of 930 participants, and the age-related differences in sweet preferences section reports that children preferred more concentrated sucrose solutions than adults.

“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. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
