    This project funded an international conference on high intensity sweeteners (HIS) and health held from September 22-24, 2015 at Purdue University. The goals were to critically review the evidence on HIS and health effects and draw reasoned conclusions through structured presentations and discussion. Numerous students involved in organizing the conference gained experience. Proceedings from the conference presentations and discussions were published in 2016 in a special issue of Physiology & Behavior to further disseminate knowledge on this topic.

    HIGH INTENSITY SWEETENERS: SCIENCE AND CONTROVERSY

    NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: The topic of high intensity sweeteners (HIS)


    and health is not new, though interest is particularly high now and continues to
    grow. The resurgence in interests has stemmed largely from recent findings
    that sweet "taste" receptors are located throughout the body, include the GI
    tract where they are located on enteroendocrine cells. This has prompted
    rethinking about whether the various HIS, once considered inert, may actually
    exert important biological effects with a wide spectrum of health
    outcomes.The issue of high intensity sweeteners and health has been
    addressed in sessions at multiple scientific meetings. However, often only one
    side of the issue is presented. In other instances, opposing views are
    showcased. This is fine if the goal is to disseminate perspectives, but neither
    approach serves the purpose of critically reviewing the evidence and drawing
    reasoned, science-based conclusions. To achieve this end, it is necessary to
    move beyond presenters, to the science itself. This proposed conference is
    designed for that purpose.We propose to hold a highly structured international
    conference with invited presenters and discussants. The unique design of the
    program aims to highlight the state of the science stripped from hyperbole and
    innuendo. In addition to presentations related to the ecology of sweet taste,
    mechanisms of sweet taste and trends in high intensity sweetener use, the
    specific topics often linked to health concerns that will be considered are, HIS
    use and A) gut digestive, endocrine and absorptive function B) microbiota; C)
    brain reward pathways; and D) appetite, food intake and energy balance.
    Impressions of the science by all attending the meeting will be tracked with
    real-time computer polling. However, the greater impact of the meeting will
    likely be achieved through publication of the proceedings in a special issue of
    Physiology & Behavior (option already confirmed).The goal of the conference
    is to highlight the science related to the heal effects of HIS so that policy
    makers, clinicians and consumers can make informed decisions about their
    use.

    OBJECTIVES: This funding is to support an international conference. The


    goals areto hold the conference and publish the proceedings.

    APPROACH: We will host a conference. Speakers will submit manuscriptson


    their topic. These willbe peer-reviewed and included in the proceedings.
    Additionally, thediscussion following presentations will be
    recorded,transcribed and included in the proceedings.

    PROGRESS: 2016/01 TO 2016/06
    Target Audience:We were funded to host a conference. It was advertised
    widely to many diverse audiences including: scientists in industry and
    academia, students, consumers, clinical professionals (e.g. dietitians,
    physicians), government employees, and lay members of the community. The
    proceedings of the conference will be published in a peer-reviewed journal
    where the primary target audience is comprised of scientists, clinicians and
    policy makers. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for
    training and professional development has the project provided?The
    conference was hosted by the Ingestive Behavior Research Center at Purdue
    University. Numerous students in the Center volunteered to help organize and
    host the conference. They gained considerable understanding of the steps
    required to host an international meeting. The students also held a poster
    session attended by all speakers and attendees where they received
    constructive feedback on the research they are conducting. The students also
    interacted socially with established scientists and gained insights on
    professional behavior. Finally, they were active participants in the conference
    and participated in the question and answer sessions. How have the results
    been disseminated to communities of interest?The conference was a venue to
    share ideas and new knowledge. The proceedings will further disseminate
    state-of-the-art knowledge on the topic of low calorie sweeteners and health.
    What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the
    goals?We expect the proceedings to be published in the next few months so
    there will be no additional funding period.

    IMPACT: 2016/01 TO 2016/06
    What was accomplished under these goals? The conference was held
    September 22-24, 2015. All speakers presented at the conference and
    submitted manuscripts on their assigned topic. At this point, several
    manscripts have been published ahead of print (the citation provided is only
    for the introductory manuscript to the full proceedings), several are being
    revised in response to reviewer comments and one paper is still undergoing
    review. All will be published as a special issue of the journal, Physiology &
    Behavior. Allare on track to meet all of the stated goals.
