Consumption of Intense Sweeteners in Australia and New Zealand


4  Key findings - Diary survey


The diary survey was used to estimate exposure to intense sweeteners for the sub-group of the population who were identified in the screener survey as potential high consumers of products containing intense sweeteners.   Estimated exposures were compared to acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for each of the following intense sweeteners:

  • aspartame
  • cyclamate
  • acesulphame-K
  • sucralose
  • saccharin
  • alitame

 

Demographic differences in mean daily exposures have been mentioned in the text where they were determined to be statistically significant at the 95% confidence level, using a one-tailed Z-score test.

Although respondents were selected from the screener survey as having had, in the previous 7-day period, a high consumption of certain products containing intense sweeteners per kilogram of body weight, they did not necessarily consume these products in the 7-day period measured in the diary.
