Long-term use of artificial sweeteners changes taste buds over time, resulting in a persistent craving for excessively sweet foods. Due to this, nutrient deficiencies and weight gain are on the rise. It could lead to severe long-term illnesses such as headaches, dizziness, rash, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and digestive problems. For instance, Brian Hoffmann, an assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Marquette University, states in his new research study that long-term use of synthetic sweeteners could lead to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Additionally, a study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal also explains that non-nutrient sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and stevia may increase the risk of obesity and its related effects over long-term use. Long-term use of synthetic sweeteners has a negative impact on the synthetic sweetener market that hinders its market growth. Sucralose-based sweeteners are increasingly being used as applications in the food industry. Sucralose is sweeter than sugar and is a low-calorie ingredient that does not cause dental cavities. Growing concerns about cardiovascular disorders due to increased consumption of sugar-based foods are encouraging the use of artificial sweeteners such as sucralose. Additionally, declining production and rising sugar prices worldwide are also encouraging the use of sucralose-based sweeteners. These sweeteners are the major substitutes for sugar in carbonated beverages, juices, dairy products, sugar-free chewing gums, confectionery, and bakery goods. For instance, in the U.S., PepsiCo is using sucralose-based sweeteners by replacing aspartame in diet Pepsi. In November 2020, Whole Earth Brands Inc., a US-based global food company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Swerve LLC and Swerve IP LLC (collectively known as Swerve) for $80 million.
