The demand for healthier sweeteners has increased due to the risk of premature mortality associated with the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) appears to be a good option with positive health effects. However, there is no information on the effects of NCS when used as a substitute for sweetening beverages. This work aimed to compare the exposure of ad libitum access to NCS and sucrose solutions (SSs). Three groups of Wistar rats (n = 12) were exposed over 8 weeks to a standard diet and 10% granulated NCS solution (NCS), 10% SS, and water (C). The NCS solution generated the highest drinking intake (142.27 ± 26 mL/day, p < .05) among groups. Compared to C (20.61 ± 10 g/day, p < .05), NCS and SS significantly reduced their food intake. Of their total caloric intake, 67 (NCS) and 63% (SS) came from the sweetened fluid. NCS and SS developed a larger AC and a higher adiposity index. The highest values for glucose and lipid profile were found in NCS. In conclusion, ad libitum access to NCS led to a high, sustained, and escalating drinking pattern, with detrimental health effects. Therefore, it is essential to consider the amount of consumption when recommending functional sweetener products.
