Abstract
Introducción: cada vez existen más datos científicos sobre los edulcorantes, pero a su vez hay más diseminación de información, a veces contradictoria. Material y métodos: estudio de campo observacional con análisis de datos referidos a la legislación vigente, aprobaciones por autoridades de la Unión Europea y revisiones sistemáticas. Resultados: la Unión Europea tiene uno de los mejores sistemas a nivel mundial de evaluación, aprobación y autorización de edulcorantes y los aprobados están inmersos desde el año 2010 en un proceso de reevaluación, como el resto de aditivos. Conclusiones: los edulcorantes son una herramienta para la reducción y eliminación de azúcar en los productos alimenticios. La dieta total es la que debe tener en su conjunto una reducción de calorías para ser efectiva en el control y la reducción del sobrepeso y la obesidad.

Conclusions: sweeteners are a tool for the reduction and elimination of sugar at foodstuffs. The total diet is the one that must have as a whole a reduction in calories to be effective in the control and reduction of overweight and obesity.
