Episode Details

One of our listeners requested an episode on this topic a while ago, and given the recent news headlines that have been popping up everywhere about erythritol, I thought there was no time like the present! In this episode, join us for a comprehensive study all about the good, the bad, and the ugly of alternative sweeteners. We'll discuss the health benefits and detriments of common alternative sweeteners, such as honey, molasses, maple syrup, and agave, as well as stevia, monk fruit, and sugar alcohols like xylitol and erythritol. We will also discuss the artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, and more. If you haven't listened to our Sugar Serial episodes yet for our discussion of all things sugar, make sure you check out those episodes too!
