The Sweet Truth on Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners May 12, 2022

Show notes

The topic of sweeteners is complicated. Sugar has its share of drawbacks, including a link to increased risk of cancer – not to mention the drama of a recently discovered decades-old cover-up by the sugar industry. Artificial sweeteners are often explored as a better alternative, but their safety has long been a topic of debate, with science serving up mixed results. This week on FUELED, we take a look at the health impact of added sugars and artificial sweeteners, along with a rundown of plant-based sweeteners to consider.

These days, it’s common for our plates and glasses to be full of ultraprocessed foods, even those that are seemingly - and in some cases, legitimately - healthful.
