Marilynn Larkin TOPLINE:Consuming nonsugar sweeteners (NSS) leads to significant changes in both stool and duodenal microbial diversity and composition and levels of circulating inflammatory markers. METHODOLOGY:Researchers analyzed samples from the REIMAGINE (Revealing the Entire Intestinal Microbiota and its Associations with the Genetic, Immunologic, and Neuroendocrine Ecosystem) study to assess the potential effects of NSS consumption...
