As reported in the abstract
Secondary outcomes
Waist circumference reduction · week 12
- Reduction in waist circumference greater with NNS beverages vs water
HbA1c and sweetener consumption reduction · week 12
- Reductions in HbA1c and consumption of any type of sweetener greater with water vs NNS beverages
Other secondary end points · week 12
- No significant differences between groups for other secondary end points (hip circumference, blood pressure, lipids, liver function, hunger, activity)
