FIA releases white paper on sweeteners

Food Industry Asia (FIA) has released a white paper that aims to debunk health- and safety-related myths surrounding the use of low/non-calorie sweeteners.

With the paper, "The Case for a Little Sweetness: The Role of Low/Non-Calorie Sweeteners on Health” FIA has begun its task of communicating the facts, based on scientific studies, about the effects of sweeteners on diet and health.

FIA is conducting information-sharing sessions in the region this year, and has already conducted one in Colombo in partnership with the Nutrition Society of Sri Lanka, and another in Jakarta during the Health Ingredients (Hi) South East Asia Expo in March. Next stops are Singpore, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, and Thailand.
