Bonnie and Steve: Two studies in the August issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition exhibit artificial sweetener intake in two very important parts of the US population. The consumption of artificially sweetened beverages has doubled among US children over the past decade.

The second study showed that high intakes of artificially sweetened beverages in pregnant women is associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery.
