As the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes continue to rise, the identification of components that contribute to or are associated with this disease has become a priority. One of the main factors that has been linked to type 2 diabetes is excessive weight gain, and reduction in weight has been recommended for both diabetes prevention and management. Low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) provide an alternative to added sugars and may facilitate weight loss or maintenance by limiting caloric intake. Considerable attention has been given to the role of LCS and their relationship to type 2 diabetes. Research suggests that LCS can serve an important role in diabetes prevention and management. Substituting sugars with LCS provides patients with type 2 diabetes considerable flexibility in their health goals and personal dietary preferences.
随着2型糖尿病的发病率和患病率持续上升,确定导致该疾病或与之相关的因素已成为当务之急。与2型糖尿病相关的主要因素之一是体重过度增加,并且已建议减轻体重以预防和管理糖尿病。低热量甜味剂(LCS)可替代添加糖,并可通过限制热量摄入来促进体重减轻或维持。人们对低热量甜味剂的作用及其与2型糖尿病的关系给予了相当多的关注。研究表明,低热量甜味剂在糖尿病的预防和管理中可发挥重要作用。用低热量甜味剂替代糖类可为2型糖尿病患者在健康目标和个人饮食偏好方面提供相当大的灵活性。
