Due to food industry offering a continuously expanding selection of products containing non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) as sugar substitutes, the significance of studies referring to the assessment of the intake of NNS as part of one’s diet in comparison to Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) values is increasing, contributing to the monitoring and the assessment of food safety. The study was conducted in a group of 128 children and adolescents aged 7-16 years, from a randomly selected primary and secondary school within the area of the city of Warsaw. Based on a 3-day record of consumed products, meals and beverages and with the use of the Theoretical Maximum Daily Intake (TMDI) model, the intake of sweeteners was estimated and compared with the appropriate ADI values. In the studied group of children and adolescents, average (median) intake of the studied substances with the diet, calculated based on the real consumption of the sweeteners, did not exceed the established daily maximum intake, hence, the consumption of sweeteners from products containing sugar substitutes was on an acceptable level (all below ADI values). Due to a higher intake of sweeteners among adolescents aged 14-16 years, statistically significant for cyclamates and acesulfame K, this age group should be treated as a group that is vulnerable to higher intake, which may be linked with high consumption of flavoured nonalcoholic beverages, constituting the main source of intense sweeteners in their diet. It is necessary to continue studies to monitor changing use and the intake of sweeteners with the diet among children and adolescents.

Ze względu na stale poszerzającą się ofertę rynkowych produktów zawierających intensywne substancje słodzące jako substytuty cukru, badania związane z oceną pobrania ich z dietą w odniesieniu do dopuszczalnego dziennego pobrania (ADI) nabierają istotnego znaczenia, stanowiąc element monitorowania i oceny bezpieczeństwa żywności. Badania z tego zakresu przeprowadzono w grupie 128 dzieci i młodzieży w wieku 7-16 lat, z wylosowanej szkoły podstawowej i średniej z Warszawy. W oparciu o 3-dniowe bieżące notowanie spożytych produktów, potraw i napojów oraz model obliczeń teoretycznego najwyższego dziennego pobrania (TMD) I oszacowano pobranie substancji słodzących i porównano z odpowiednimi wartościami ADI. W badanej grupie dzieci i młodzieży średnie (mediana) pobranie z dietą substancji słodzących wyliczone na podstawie rzeczywistego spożycia tych produktów nie przekraczało ustalonego na podstawie badań toksykologicznych dopuszczalnego dziennego pobrania, a zatem pobranie substancji słodzących z produktów z zamiennikami cukru było na akceptowanym poziomie (wszystkie substancje poniżej ADI). Ze względu na stwierdzone znacznie większe spożycie substancji słodzących wśród młodzieży w wieku 14-16 lat, istotne w przypadku cyklaminianów i acesulfamu K, starszą młodzież szkolną należy wskazać jako grupę o potencjalnie większym ryzyku pobrania, co może być związane z dużym spożyciem aromatyzowanych napojów bezalkoholowych, będących głównym ich źródłem w diecie. W grupie dzieci i młodzieży niezbędne jest kontynuowanie badań monitoringowych z zakresu stosowania substancji słodzą cych oraz ich pobrania z całodzienną dietą.
