Debunking Media Myths About Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners - Episode 64

It feels like we’re constantly being bombarded by guidelines to “eat less sugar”...but in fact, the best advice for now might be to drink less sugar - at least when it comes to replacing sugar-sweetened beverages like soda. Low- and no-calorie sweeteners have gotten a bad rap for a long time, but experts will be the first to tell you that a lot of the media-reported negative results are based on skewed study findings and clickbait headlines. Joining me in this episode is Dr. John Sievenpiper. Dr. Sievenpiper is a Medical Doctor and Associate Professor at the Department of Nutritional Science in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada. Together we dispel some popular myths surrounding low- and no-calorie sweeteners and get to the real science about low- and no-calorie sweeteners!   Disclosure: This episode is sponsored by the International Sweeteners Association, but my opinion is 100% my own.    Resources: www.sweeteners.org   ---   The Keri Report dissects health and nutrition with a no-nonsense approach.   Nutritionist, yoga teacher, and author of The Small Change Diet Keri Gans delivers her straightforward and sometimes controversial approach to what's current in the health and nutrition world.
