Kua tukuna e te Whakahaere Hauora o te Ao (WHO) tētahi aratohu e kī ana kia kaua e whakamahia ngā mea reka kore-huka (NSS) hei whakahaere i te taumaha.
He iti, he kore-kaiora rānei ngā NSS hei whakakapi i te huka kore utu, ā, e ai ki te WHO, he maha ngā wā e hokohokohia ana hei āwhina i te whakaiti taumaha, hei pupuri rānei i te taumaha hauora. He maha hoki ngā wā e tūtohutia ana hei whakakapi mō te whakahaere i te huka toto i roto i te hunga mate huka.
Ko te taunakitanga a te WHO i ahu mai i ngā kitenga o tētahi arotake pūnaha o ngā taunakitanga e kī ana kāore te whakamahinga o te NSS e whai hua mō te wā roa ki te whakaiti i te ngako tinana i roto i ngā pakeke me ngā tamariki.
E ai ki ngā hua o ngā rangahau i roto i te aratohu, ko te nui ake o te kai NSS e pā ana ki te pikinga 23% o te mōrearea o te mate huka momo 2 ina kainga i roto i ngā inu reka NSS, me te pikinga 34% o te mōrearea ina tāpirihia e te tangata takitahi me te kainga i roto i te kai me te inu.
E kī ana hoki te aratohu kia kaua e whakamahia te NSS hei huarahi whakaiti i te mōrearea o ngā mate kore-pipiri.
I mea atu a Francesco Branca, te kaiwhakahaere o te WHO mō te kai totika me te haumaru kai: "Kāore te whakakapi i ngā huka kore utu ki te NSS e āwhina i te whakahaere taumaha mō te wā roa. Me whakaaro te tangata ki ētahi atu huarahi hei whakaiti i te kai huka kore utu, pērā i te kai i ngā kai he huka tūturu, pērā i ngā hua rākau, i ngā kai me ngā inu kāore i te hukahia."
Ko ētahi o ngā waikawa NSS e kitea whānuitia ana ko te saccharin, te sucralose, te stevia, te acesulfame K, te aspartame, te advantame, te cyclamates, te neotame me ngā hua mai i te stevia.
I tāpiri atu ia: "Ehara ngā NSS i te mea nui mō te kai, ā, kāore he uara kai. Me whakaiti katoa te tangata i te reka o te kai, me tīmata wawe tonu i te ao, kia pai ake ai tō rātou hauora".
E pā ana te aratohu ki ngā mea reka kore-kai katoa kua hangaia, kua puta noa mai, kua whakarerekētia rānei, kāore i te whakarōpūtia hei huka e kitea ana i roto i ngā kai me ngā inu kua hangaia, kāore rānei i te hokona hei hua hei tāpiri atu ki ngā kai me ngā inu e ngā kaihoko. Heoi, kāore te aratohu e pā ki ngā tāngata kua pāngia e te mate huka.
I kī a Keith Ayoob, te kaitohutohu pūtaiao i te Calorie Control Council, kāore te aratohu i whai whakaaro ki ngā tāngata e ora ana me te mate huka i reira ka taea e te NSS te whai "tūranga tino nui i roto i tā rātou whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga kai e tika ana".
I tāpiri atu ia: "Ko te tohe a te WHO kia arotahi noa ki te aukati i te taumaha kino me ngā mate kore-pihopa he hē rawa atu. Ko te whakatau a te WHO kia kaua e arotahi ki te uara o ngā mea reka kore-huka mō te hunga mate huka he mea tino whakarihariha. Ko tā rātou mahi pera e whakakore ana i te uara me te whai huatanga o te NSS mō te hunga e ora ana me te mate huka me te hunga i mua i te mate huka, e neke atu ana i te 10% o te taupori o te ao."
Kāore te taunakitanga e pā ki ngā huka iti-kaiora me ngā waipiro huka (polyols), arā, he huka, he huka rānei he pūtake kei roto ngā kaiora, ā, kāore e kiia he NSS.
