Declaración de Chinchón: decálogo sobre eldulcorantes sin y bajos en calorías (ESBC)
Multidisciplinary experts in the areas of nutrition and
health met in Chinchón, Madrid, on November 25-26, 2013
under the auspices of the Fundación para la Investigación
Nutricional (Nutrition Research Foundation) and with the
collaboration of the Madrid Regional Government’s Health
Ministry, the International Sweeteners Association and the
Carlos III Health Institute CIBER of Physiopathology of
Obesity and Nutrition. They analyzed the current status
of scientific knowledge on low- and no-calorie sweeteners
(LNCS) and developed a consensus Decalogue on their use;
this constitutes the Chinchón Declaration. Sweeteners,
including sugar, represent a subject of undeniable
interest and are currently a popular topic, although areas
relating to their safety and benefits remain unknown to
segments of academia and the general public. The nature
of LNCS makes them vulnerable to biased and even
contradictory information. They are food additives that
are broadly used as sugar substitutes to sweeten foods,
medicines and food supplements when non-nutritional or
non-caloric alternatives are needed. The Chinchón
Decalogue is the outcome of a meeting for reflection and
consensus by a group of experts with backgrounds in
different scientific disciplines (toxicology, clinical nutrition,
community nutrition, physiology, food science, public
health, pediatrics, endocrinology and nutrition, nursing,
pharmaceutical care and food legislation). The Decalogue
includes different aspects of LNCS related to regulation,
use, benefits and safety. In general, benefits of LNCS have
been traditionally neglected in comparison with the
tendency for emphasising unexisting or unproven possible
risks. The need to strengthen research on LNCS in Spain
was emphasized, as well as the need to educate both
professionals and the publicExpertos de carácter multidisciplinar de las áreas de

Madrid, los días 25 y 26 de noviembre de 2013 , bajo
los auspicios de la Fundación para la Investigación Nutricional
y con la colaboración de la Consejería de Sanidad
del Gobierno de la Comunidad de Madrid, la International
Sweeteners Association y el CIBER de Fisiopatología de la
Obesidad y la Nutrición del Instituto de Salud Carlos III,
analizaron el estado actual del conocimiento científico en
torno a los Edulcorantes sin y bajos en calorías (ESBC) y
desarrollaron un Decálogo sobre su uso que constituye la
Declaración de Chinchón. Los edulcorantes, incluido el
azúcar, constituyen un elemento de indudable interés y
actualidad, aunque no exento de desconocimiento por
algunos sectores tanto académicos como de la población en
general. La propia naturaleza de los ESBC los hace susceptibles
de informaciones tergiversadas e incluso contradictorias.
Son aditivos alimentarios ampliamente utilizados
como sustitutivos del azúcar para endulzar alimentos,
medicamentos y complementos alimenticios cuando se
persiguen fines no nutritivos. El Decálogo de Chinchón es
fruto de una reunión de reflexión y consenso por parte de
un grupo de expertos procedentes de distintas disciplinas
científicas (toxicología, nutrición clínica, nutrición comunitaria,
fisiología, bromatología, salud pública, atención
primaria, pediatría, endocrinología y nutrición, enfermería,
atención farmacéutica y legislación alimentaria). El
decálogo incluye diferentes aspectos de los EBSC relacionados
con la legislación, uso, beneficios y seguridad. En
general, los beneficios de los EBSC han sido tradicionalmente
desatendidos en comparación con la tendencia de
destacar posibles riesgos inexistentes o que no han sido
probados. Hace especial hincapié en la necesidad de fortalecer
la investigación de los EBSC en España, así como la
necesidad de formar en este ámbito a los profesionales y a
los consumidores en genera

Ibero–American Consensus on Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners: Safety, Nutritional Aspects and Benefits in Food and Beverages
International scientific experts in food, nutrition, dietetics, endocrinology, physical activity, paediatrics, nursing, toxicology and public health met in Lisbon on 2–4 July 2017 to develop a Consensus on the use of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) as substitutes for sugars and other caloric sweeteners. LNCS are food additives that are broadly used as sugar substitutes to sweeten foods and beverages with the addition of fewer or no calories. They are also used in medicines, health-care products, such as toothpaste, and food supplements. The goal of this Consensus was to provide a useful, evidence-based, point of reference to assist in efforts to reduce free sugars consumption in line with current international public health recommendations. Participating experts in the Lisbon Consensus analysed and evaluated the evidence in relation to the role of LNCS in food safety, their regulation and the nutritional and dietary aspects of their use in foods and beverages. The conclusions of this Consensus were: (1) LNCS are some of the most extensively evaluated dietary constituents, and their safety has been reviewed and confirmed by regulatory bodies globally including the World Health Organisation, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority; (2) Consumer education, which is based on the most robust scientific evidence and regulatory processes, on the use of products containing LNCS should be strengthened in a comprehensive and objective way; (3) The use of LNCS in weight reduction programmes that involve replacing caloric sweeteners with LNCS in the context of structured diet plans may favour sustainable weight reduction. Furthermore, their use in diabetes management programmes may contribute to a better glycaemic control in patients, albeit with modest results. LNCS also provide dental health benefits when used in place of free sugars; (4) It is proposed that foods and beverages with LNCS could be included in dietary guidelines as alternative options to products sweetened with free sugars; (5) Continued education of health professionals is required, since they are a key source of information on issues related to food and health for both the general population and patients. With this in mind, the publication of position statements and consensus documents in the academic literature are extremely desirable
