About the Symposium


On June 14th, the „Ernährung 2012" congress opened its doors for interested healthcare professionals and exhibitors to provide information about the ever increasing role that a well-balanced and healthy nutrition plays in the management of important health issues.

In today's modern diet, low / no calorie sweeteners also play an important role and are used in many foods and beverages in order to reduce the sugar and calories in products. At the congress, the International Sweeteners Association (ISA) provided attendees with information on the benefits of low/no-calorie sweeteners. Additional information was provided during the ISA-hosted satellite symposium „Süßstoff - sinnvoll süß?! Von der Wissenschaft zu praktischen Empfehlungen," which featured presentations by leading experts in health and nutrition.

The International Sweeteners Association is a non-profit organisation representing manufacturers and users of low-calorie sweeteners. The organisation aims to enhance the public's knowledge on the safety and benefits of low-and no-calorie sweeteners in weight reduction and management.
