Do you take your coffee with a spoonful of sugar or use a nonsugar sweetener such as Sweet’N Low or Equal? These nonsugar sweeteners are called nonnutritive sweeteners because they contain little to no calories per gram, compared with nutritive sweeteners such as sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup.
Although nonsugar sweeteners have long been considered safe to eat, newer studies show that they may contribute to the conditions that they are supposed to prevent through interactions with the gut microbiota.
