 This study found that the global consumption of added sugars has been steadily declining since 2007, while the consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners, NNS, has been on the rise. This suggests that manufacturers are using NNS to replace added sugars in order to maintain product sweetness. Additionally, this study found that countries with more policy actions to reduce added sugar consumption have seen higher increases in NNS consumption than those without such policies.
