🔹 About This Episode:
In this episode of the Longevity Podcast, I dive deep into the world of sugar alternatives—from nature’s classics like honey and maple syrup to modern sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, aspartame, and allulose. I explore how our brains are wired to crave sweetness, and what happens when we feed that craving with different types of sugars and sugar substitutes.
You’ll learn the pros and cons of each option, how they affect blood sugar and gut health, and which ones might be safer or smarter choices for your long-term well-being. Whether you’re struggling with sugar cravings or just curious about what sweetener to use, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make better choices.
