Thanks for your responses, everyone!
The University of Sydney recently published an interesting paper on bias in artificial sweetener research. This is what they found: “Artificial sweetener industry sponsored reviews were more likely to have favorable results than non-industry sponsored reviews, as well as favorable conclusions.”
Considering that our dietary guidelines and approvals for artificial sweeteners are based on existing research (which we now know may be biased), do you think this is cause for concern?
