Episode Synopsis

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.
