Abstract
Non-caloric artificial sweeteners have emerged to offer a safe and healthy option in the framework of
food. They have received special attention in recent decades, precisely because of the current food cul-
ture, where fast food and high sugar consumption have taken on special strength, which has a negative
impact on the incidence of metabolic diseases. In that order of ideas, non-caloric artificial sweeteners
propose better health without the need for a drastic change in lifestyle. However, its benefits have not
been studied in depth, in addition to the fact that there has been no significant change in the deve-
lopment of metabolic diseases associated with sugar consumption, on the contrary, they have been
related to diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Likewise, they
cause a series of metabolic changes by different mechanisms that end in progressive proteinuria and a
decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. In order with the above, an analysis of the risk to which one
is subjected when choosing this food option is necessary, and not be deafened, much less dazzled by
the media processes, if not rather, be governed by scientific findings.
