Health bosses have warned sweeteners may not be the helpful sugar alternative that many believe it to be.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggest non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) may be linked to rising numbers of people who are overweight or obese. They may also be linked to increases in cases of type two diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and tooth decay.
It comes after the WHO's researchers examined data from 283 studies conducted in adults, children, pregnant women or mixed populations.
