Nancy Bean+FollowWhich Sweetener’s Actually Healthier?Sugar swaps are everywhere, but which ones are really better for you? Stevia and monk fruit are hot for being natural and not spiking blood sugar, but stevia’s aftertaste and monk fruit’s blends can be a dealbreaker. Erythritol and xylitol are keto faves, but too much can mess with your gut (and xylitol is super toxic to dogs!). Allulose is the new darling—tastes like sugar, barely affects blood sugar, but still being studied. Agave and coconut sugar sound healthy, but experts say don’t be fooled—they’re still sugar. Bottom line: moderation is key, and the “healthiest” sweetener depends on your body and taste buds! #SugarAlternatives #HealthTalk #FoodFacts #SweetenerDebate #Wellness #Health2412Share
Michelle Welch+FollowIs Your 'Healthy' Sweetener Actually Risky?Just found out that erythritol—the sugar substitute in so many 'healthy' snacks and drinks—might not be as safe as we thought. New research links it to higher risks of stroke and heart disease because it messes with blood flow and increases oxidative stress. Even though it’s FDA-approved, scientists are now saying to keep an eye on how much you’re having. Might be time to check those labels and maybe switch to stevia! #HealthNews #SugarAlternatives #Erythritol #Wellness #HeartHealth #Health20Share
