Public confusion and concern about the use of sugar and sugar substitutes are widespread. Physicians must be prepared to answer patients' inquiries about these substances. Some population groups should avoid certain sugar substitutes. In particular, pregnant women and young children should avoid saccharin, and phenylketonuric homozygous persons should avoid aspartame. In a varied, balanced diet, the use of aspartame and saccharin is one safe way for the general population to enjoy sweet foods with fewer calories and less cariogenic potential. Sugar substitutes may be helpful in dietary compliance for overweight and diabetic patients.
公众对糖和糖替代品使用的困惑与担忧普遍存在。医生必须准备好回答患者关于这些物质的询问。一些人群应避免使用某些糖替代品。特别是，孕妇和幼儿应避免使用糖精，苯丙酮尿症纯合子患者应避免使用阿斯巴甜。在多样化、均衡的饮食中，使用阿斯巴甜和糖精是普通人群享用热量更低、致龋潜力更小的甜食的一种安全方式。糖替代品可能有助于超重和糖尿病患者遵守饮食规定。
