20.500.12556/DKUM-95092 Zavedanje, dojemanje in uporaba nehranljivih sladil med študenti magistrsko delo Awareness, beliefs, and use of non-nutritive sweeteners among university students Nehranljiva sladila, imenovana tudi nizkokalorična sladila (NNS) ali umetna sladila, so priljubljeni nadomestki sladkorja, ki zagotavljajo močan sladek učinek brez dodajanja sladkorja in energije prehrani. Cilj mednarodne raziskave je bil oceniti ozaveščenost, dojemanje, skrbi in uporabo nehranljivih sladil med študenti z enotno metodologijo v različnih državah v Evropi, Aziji in Ameriki. Vprašalnik je nastal kot odgovor na vse večjo potrebo po razumevanju, kako mladi zaznavajo in uporabljajo NNS, ob upoštevanju znanstvenih razprav, različnih zdravstvenih priporočil in vpliva dezinformacij na družbenih omrežjih. Spletno anketo smo posredovali študentom različnih fakultet na Univerzi v Mariboru, izpolnilo pa jo je 245 študentov, starih več kot 18 let. V raziskavi smo preverjali poznavanje priporočil WHO, razumevanje pojmov, dojemanje koristi in tveganj NNS ter vpliv virov informacij na znanje. Z rezultati smo ugotovili, da je poznavanje NNS razmeroma dobro. Mnenja o njihovih učinkih na zdravje in telesno težo so precej razdeljena, z veliko negotovosti glede dolgoročnih posledic. Kar 46,7 % študentov ne pozna aktualnih priporočil WHO o uporabi teh sladil. Ugotovili smo, da 23,6 % anketiranih redno uživa nehranljiva sladila, najpogosteje v gaziranih pijačah, žvečilnih gumijih in sladicah. Non-nutritive sweeteners, also referred to as low-calorie sweeteners (NNS) or artificial sweeteners, are popular sugar substitutes that provide a strong sweetening effect without adding sugar and energy to the diet. The aim of the international study was to evaluate the awareness, perception, concerns, and use of non-nutritive sweeteners among students, using a uniform methodology in different countries across Europe, Asia, and America. The questionnaire was developed in response to the growing need to understand how young people perceive and use NNS, taking into account scientific debates, various health recommendations, and the influence of misinformation on social media. An online survey was distributed to students of various faculties at the University of Maribor, and it was completed by 245 students over the age of 18. The study examined knowledge of WHO recommendations, understanding of concepts, perception of benefits and risks of NNS, as well as the impact of information sources on knowledge. The results showed that knowledge about NNS is relatively good. Opinions regarding their effects on health and body weight are rather divided, with considerable uncertainty about long-term consequences. As many as 46.7% of students are not familiar with the current WHO recommendations on the use of these sweeteners.We found that 23.6% of respondents regularly consume non-nutritive sweeteners, most commonly in carbonated beverages, chewing gum, and desserts.
