Listen Later

The topic on sweeteners can be somewhat controversial. Are artificial sweeteners safe? Are natural sweeteners better? If you asked around about what is best you are likely to get some opposing answers. In this episode, I give you my take on sweeteners - natural sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols - as well as some of the studies out there so that you can make your own decision about it.


Episode Highlights:

  • About regular refined sugar
  • What happens in our body when we have too much sugar
  • What are artificial sweeteners and how were they developed
  • Different artificial sweeteners and the research behind them
  • Why artificial sweeteners can contribute to weight gain
  • Natural low calorie sweeteners (i.e. stevia)
  • Are natural sweeteners like maple syrup, agave, honey better than the other options?


    • No medical advice given. Please consult a medical professional.
