Thinking about greater adherence to dietary planning, it is extremely important to be aware of all nutritional strategies and dietary prescriptions available in the literature, and of which of them is the most efficient for the management of T2DM. 

Methods: A search was carried out in 2023 for randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and guidelines in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Web of Science, CrossRef and Google Scholar. In total, 202 articles were collected and analyzed. The period of publications was 1983–2023. Results: There is still no consensus on what the best nutritional strategy or ideal dietary prescription is, and individuality is necessary. In any case, these references suggest that 

Mediterranean Diet may of greater interest for the management of T2DM, with the following recommended dietary prescription

: 40–50% carbohydrates; 15–25% proteins; 25–35% fats (<7% saturated, 10% polyunsaturated, and 10% monounsaturated); at least 14 g of fiber for every 1000 kcal consumed; and <2300 mg sodium. 

Conclusions: Individuality is the gold standard for dietary prescriptions, however, the Mediterranean diet with low levels of carbohydrates and fats seems to be the most promising strategy for the management of T2DM.

Nutrtion Diabetes

 Diet, nutrition and type 2 diabetes: what is the evidence?

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder with the potential for multiple adverse health consequences.

 It is also a public health challenge, with a rising global burden. 

Estimates indicate that there were approximately 537 million people worldwide with diabetes in 2021, 

which is projected to rise to 783 million by 2045, with type 2 diabetes constituting the majority (>90%) of this burden [1]. 

Diet and nutrition are of indisputable significance in reducing this burden because the development of type 2 diabetes is characterised by obesity and insulin resistance, leading to hyperglycaemia, and both weight and glycaemic control are directly related to food consumption.


Diet and nutrition are thus central as modifiable factors in both the management and the prevention of type 2 diabetes. 

This is supported by three lines of evidence. 

First, when adhered to, medical nutrition therapy in those with type 2 diabetes can match or exceed the glycaemic control that can be achieved by glucose-lowering medication in the short term, and can be useful in maintaining control [2]

 Second, the proof of principle was established in the early 2000s that, among people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, the onset of type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented,

with as much as a 58% relative risk reduction, through a supported intensive lifestyle intervention including dietary changes and physical activity [3]. 

The real-world impact of lifestyle modification strategies has been demonstrated [4],

 outside the highly controlled conditions of clinical trials, 

and such a strategy has been found to be effective in the UK National Health Service (NHS) [5].

 Third, it has been demonstrated that remission of type 2 diabetes can be achieved through dietary means [6], resulting in a major shift in scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, from a condition previously thought to be progressive and irreversible to one that can be brought under control to normal functioning.

Fasting, non-fasting and postprandial triglycerides for screening cardiometabolic risk

 

High fasting triglycerides have been

 associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) 

since the 1950s,

 and nearly one-third of Americans display

 elevated triglycerides (>1⋅70 mmol/l or 150 mg/dl)(1,2).

 Triglycerides >1⋅70 mmol/l (150 mg/dl)

 are also one criterion for diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome and are frequently observed in those with type 2 diabetes(3–6)


Fasting triacylglycerols have long been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other cardiometabolic conditions. 

Evidence suggests that non-fasting triglycerides 

(i.e. measured within 8 h of eating) better predict CVD than fasting triglycerides, 

which has led several organisations to recommend non-fasting lipid panels as the new clinical standard.

 However, unstandardised assessment protocols associated

 with non-fasting triglyceride measurement may lead to misclassification, with at-risk individuals being overlooked. 

A third type of triglyceride assessment, postprandial testing, is more controlled, yet historically has been difficult to implement 

due to the time and effort required to execute it. 

Here, we review differences in assessment, the underlying physiology and the pathophysiological relevance of elevated fasting, non-fasting and postprandial triglycerides.

 We also present data suggesting that there may be a distinct advantage of postprandial triglycerides, even over non-fasting triglycerides, for early detection 

of CVD risk and offer suggestions to make postprandial protocols more clinically feasible.


Overall, a growing body of epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that the rise in triglycerides after a meal may be a more sensitive screening tool than fasting triglycerides for detecting disease risk and may be abnormal when other traditional risk factors (i.e. fasting triglycerides, HDL-C, glucose) are in the normal range.

Daily Early-Life Exposures to Diet Soda and Aspartame Are Associated with Autism in Males: A Case-Control Study

 

Since its introduction, aspartame—the leading sweetener

 in U.S. diet sodas (DS)—

has been reported to cause neurological

problems in some users.

 In prospective studies, the offspring of mothers

 who consumed diet sodas/beverages (DSB) daily during pregnancy experienced increased health problems. 

We hypothesized that gestational/early-life

 exposure to ≥1 DS/day (DSearly) or equivalent aspartame (ASPearly: ≥177 mg/day) increases autism risk. 

The case-control Autism Tooth Fairy 

Study obtained retrospective dietary recalls for DSB and aspartame consumption during pregnancy/breastfeeding from the mothers

 of 235 offspring with autism spectrum disorder (ASD: cases) and 121 neurotypically developing offspring (controls)

 No statistically significant associations were found in females. 

Our findings contribute to the growing literature

 raising concerns about potential offspring harm from maternal DSB/aspartame intake in pregnancy.


Introduction

Over the past 40 years, the prevalence of diagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the U.S. has dramatically risen [1], 

from fewer than 0.3 per 1000 children 

diagnosed with autism before 1980 [2] to 27.6 per 1000 children 

diagnosed with ASD in 2020 [3]. 

Changes in diagnostic definitions and guidelines and increased testing availability and funding have made major 

contributions to this increase in diagnosed cases; 

under the added impacts of changes in 

dietary, environmental, and other exposures affecting

 the intrauterine environment, 

ASD prevalence has reached unprecedented proportions.

 Males have been disproportionately affected: autism

 prevalence among boys is almost quadruple that among 

girls, and a recent study estimated that approximately 1 in 23 U.S. boys 

aged 8 years or older in 2020 had been diagnosed with ASD [3]. The degree to which ASD diagnoses have risen during this time highlights the potential role of non-genetic influences, including early prenatal exposures to heavy metals, organophosphate pesticides, and other environmental toxins, in offspring autism risk [4].

Aspartame Artificial Sweetener Conclusions

 Conclusions

Aspartame is an additive used to sweeten a variety of beverages and foods, 

such as desserts, cakes, chewing gum, yogurt, low-calorie 


And weight-control products, and even drugs for oral administration

Its presence in foods can be indicated either

 by name or by its code E951. 



Following ingestion, aspartame breaks down in the

 gut into the following three constituents: 

aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. 

These components are also naturally present in other foods, including fruits and vegetables, and for foods containing aspartame, they are processed by the body in the same way as those derived from other dietary sources

. Following a detailed and methodical analysis,

 European Food Safety Authority [60] experts 

concluded that aspartame and 

its breakdown products are safe for

 human consumption at current levels of exposure.

 The current ADI is considered to be safe for the general population, although some clinical [42] or in vivo animal studies [38] 

suggested neurobehavioral effects upon daily aspartame intake below or at ADI

Questions have primarily been raised about the early 

experimental animal studies used to evaluate the 

safety of aspartame. 


Some subsequent studies concluded that there is sufficient scientific evidence to confirm that aspartame is generally safe for human consumption up to the maximally recommended daily intake doses.


 However, its use may pose health risks for certain individuals,

 
Like patients with seizures or other neurological conditions; 

it is strictly forbidden for patients with phenylketonuria 

Andshould be restricted if not completely eliminated during pregnancy.


 It is also highly advisable that each aspartame-containing product lists explicitly the exact amount of aspartame on its label.



 The association between high-dose aspartame usage 


and increased risk of developing cancers, such as brain tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas, is still highly controversial and under investigation and seems to be confirmed by some recent cohort studies.

Aspartame Artificial sweetener

 Aspartame is the methyl-ester of the aspartate-phenylalanine dipeptide. 

Over time, it has become a very popular artificial sweetener.

 However, since its approval by the main food safety agencies, several concerns have been raised related to neuropsychiatric effects and neurotoxicity due to its ability to activate glutamate receptors, as well as carcinogenic risks due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species.

 Within this review, we critically evaluate reports concerning the safety of aspartame. Some studies evidenced subtle mood and behavioral changes upon daily high-dose intake below the admitted limit.

 Epidemiology studies also evidenced

 associations between daily aspartame intake and a higher predisposition for malignant diseases, like non-Hodgkin lymphomas and multiple myelomas, particularly in males

But an association by chance still could not be excluded. While the debate over the carcinogenic risk of aspartame is ongoing, it is clear that its use may pose some dangers in peculiar cases

, such as patients with seizures or other neurological diseases;

 It should be totally forbidden for patients

 with phenylketonuria, 

and reduced doses or complete avoidance 

are advisable during pregnancy

. It would be also highly desirable for every product

 containing aspartame

 to clearly indicate on the label the

 exact amount of the substance and some risk warning.


Introduction 


Due to decreased sugar production throughout the two world wars as well as an increased prevalence of nutrition disorders,

 particularly diabetes mellitus, in post-war industrialized societies, artificial sweeteners, also known as non-nutritive sweeteners, gained popularity [1]

. Some non-nutritive, low-calorie sweeteners provide a similar taste while bringing 200–300 times fewer calories than sugar [2]. 

Saccharin, discovered and used since 1879, was widely regarded at the time as a sugar substitute.

 James Schlatter, while doing biochemical synthesis experiments with Robert Mazur

, accidentally discovered aspartame in 1965,

 and his employer G.D. Searle immediately started testing the substance in the hope of producing and

 commercializing it on a wide scale [3,4]

 (Figure 1). Aspartame is the methyl ester of the dipeptide formed by L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine [5]. 

It has been found to be 188 times sweeter than sugar while having the same calorie contents per weight unit [6].

Sucralose( Artificial Sweetener )Metabolism

         Sucralose constitutes a modified

   sucrose molecule with three chlorine atoms replacing three hydroxyl groups [13].

 This minor structural alteration induces substantial functional changes

      Times more than 

   Sucrose

        

      It is noteworthy that sucralose can persist in the bloodstream for over 18 h post-ingestion [2]. 

Furthermore, observations indicate that this sweetener can traverse the placenta, reaching the fetus in pregnant women, and is also present in breast milk [2,17]. 

Concerns regarding the duration of sucralose in the body have been raised by researchers. A study by

 Bornemann et al., involving rats consuming sucralose for 40 days, reported the detection of acetylated metabolites

 in urine up to 11 days after the last dose [18].

The study also revealed sucralose presence 

in rat adipose tissue up to two weeks post the final dose [18], presenting results contradictory 

to prior data.

 Hence, further research is imperative to comprehend the persistence of sucralose and

 the effects of its metabolites in the body.Conntrary to expectations, the bioavailability of

 sucralose in the human body varies with age. 

Sylvetsky et al. determined that children consuming a 300 mL diet drink exhibit plasma concentrations of sucralose twice as high as adults [19]. Sylvetsky suggests that this may be attributed to children’s lower glomerular filtration rate.

Sucralose Sweet SuccessTo Metobolic Controversies

 Sucralose is a food additive initially used to mitigate glycemic peaks and calorie intake in patients with diabetes and obesity.

 Although sucralose has been considered safe for human consumption,

 The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a global alert in 2023 concerning the potential health implications of this artificial sweetener. 

This review aims to comprehensively explore the effects of sucralose intake on human health by understanding sucralose absorption, metabolism, and excretion.

 We also outline the role of the sweet taste 1 receptor 3 (T1R3) in mediating sucralose-dependent signaling pathways that regulate satiety, incretin release, and insulin response. 

Finally, we discuss the impact of sucralose on microbiome dysbiosis, inflammatory response origin, liver damage, and toxicity. 

Gaining a deeper understanding of the manifold effects of sucralose on human physiology will help promote further studies to ensure its consumption is deemed safe for a broader population, including children, adolescents, and pregnant women.



Introduction

Sucralose, a prevalent food additive, is utilized to impart sweetness to foods without contributing a substantial

 caloric load .

It dominates the global sweetener market,

 comprising 30% of the United States sweetener market [2]. 

Present in over 4500 food and beverage items, sucralose plays a pivotal role in the food industry and is projected to strengthen its market presence [2,3].


Discovered in 1976 by Shashikant Phadnis, sucralose, chemically identified as 1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside, is an artificial sweetener derived from sucrose [4,5]. 


Produced through selective halogenation,involving  the 

addition of three chlorine atoms to the sucrose molecuule.

Produced through selective halogenation, involving the addition of three chlorine atoms to the sucrose molecule, 

This process diminishes intestinal absorption.


Originally intended for 

individuals with obesity and diabetes due to its ability to avert glycemic spikes and reduce caloric intake while maintaining sweetness [6], 

sucralose has become a ubiquitous sweetener across diverse demographics.

 Boasting unique characteristics such as prolonged solid-state stability and resilience in solutions with varying pH levels [7], 


It remains 600 times sweeter than regular sugar

, with a bacteriostatic effect that prevents dental caries

 

For years, sucralose has been regarded as a harmless substance.

 In 1998, the Joint Committee of Experts on 

Food Additives of the WHO/FAO within the United Nations classified this sweetener as a safe product [10]. 

The FDA has also stated that sucralose is safe for consumption by children and individuals with diabetes [11]. 

The WHO has reported an acceptable daily intake for this sweetener at 15 mg/kg of body weight [12]. 

Sucralose initially appeared to offer a fresh solution to the rising rates of obesity and metabolic diseases [13].

 However, despite the apparent harmlessness of sucralose, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently issued an alert indicating that sucralose consumption may be linked to systemic inflammation and metabolic diseases [14].

3)

changes in subjects with overweight or obesity. In this randomized, crossover, and controlled trial, 23 participants with a body mass index between 25 kg/m2 and 39.9 kg/m2 will be assigned to one of two interventions to receive either

 sucralose (2 mg/kg/day equivalent to 40% of the acceptable daily intake) or glucose (control) for 4 weeks, each phase separated by a 4-week washout period. The glycemic response will be determined during a meal tolerance test, subjective appetite will be evaluated using a visual analog scale, and GM changes will be analyzed by

( next-generation sequencing of the bacterial rRNA 16S gene from fecal samples). 

All measures will be performed before and after intervention periods. We hypothesize that sucralose supplementation induces changes in glycemic response, subjective appetite, and gut microbiota in overweight and obese participants. 


Introduction 

Global obesity and overweight rates have risen

 sharply, becoming a major health concern due to their association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. Mexico ranks second in obesity prevalence among the nations belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with 36.9% of its population affected [1]. Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) have been implemented as substitutes for sugar to reduce caloric intake and prevent body weight gain..


Sucralose is an artificial NNS derived from sucrose, which has a sweetening capacity 600 times greater than sucrose and has an acceptable daily intake (ADI) estimated value of 5 mg/kg/day according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [3].

 The use of sucralose is widely recommended among individuals with obesity and T2D.

 However, experimental and clinical trials have reported undesirable effects on glucose and energy metabolism,

 which can be attributed to three potential mechanisms: activation of T1R2/T1R3 sweet taste receptors, affecting insulin and incretin release; triggering a

 cephalic response that may increase caloric intake; and interaction with gut microbiota (GM), potentially causing dysbiosis. In the latter case, sucralose may disrupt GM composition,

 increasing intestinal permeability and allowing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to enter the bloodstream, leading to a low-grade inflammatory response (metabolic endotoxemia) that could induce insulin resistance [4].
