FDA — High-intensity sweeteners permitted for use in food (2023)
WHO: not for weight control
caution
WHO 2023, conditional (low certainty): not for weight control or lowering disease risk — no long-term body-fat benefit. Not a safety ruling. Scored: the energy points it earns over sucrose are taken back on Everyday Health, Weight goals and Easy on the liver; not on Diabetic-friendly (WHO excludes people with diabetes). Not named in WHO's examples; fits its definition (naturally occurring non-nutritive sweetener, not a sugar).
