Artificial Sweeteners Significantly Alter the Small Bowel Microbiome
METHOD
Investigators obtained samples from a small group of adults undergoing standard of care esophagogastroduodenoscopy without colon prep. All enrolled subjects provided duodenal luminal aspirates as well as fasting blood samples for analysis, and a subset also provided optional stool samples. Scientists analyzed the duodenal luminal microbiome in subjects consuming non-aspartame non-sugar sweeteners (NANS, N=35), aspartame only (ASP, N=9), and controls (CON, N=55), and the stool microbiome in a subset (N=40).
IMPACT
Artificial sweeteners are associated with a variety of changes depending on the area of the intestine. Significantly, the effects of these substances on the gut microbiome differ in the small bowel compared to the large bowel. These changes may be potentially important for health and warrant future study.
