You no doubt have heard or even participated in the ongoing debate about the use of low-calorie sweeteners.  
 
What is the bottom line? Should we suggest that people use low-calorie sweeteners instead of sugar? What is the relationship between the use of low-calorie sweeteners and appetite and weight control? Are low-calorie sweeteners appropriate for use by children?
 
A group of esteemed scientists convened by the ILSI North America has examined the evidence and provides the most up-to-date answers to questions about low-calorie sweeteners use and weight. This webinar will present their findings and offer suggestions as to how you can work with families about using low-calorie sweeteners.
