Podcasts about sweeteners

Sorbitol, a common sugar alcohol in sugar-free and "diet" products, drives liver fat buildup even when your gut bacteria are healthy, making it a hidden contributor to fatty liver disease When your microbiome is weakened from antibiotics, stress, or ultraprocessed foods, sorbitol slips through your gut unchanged and reaches your liver, where it triggers rapid fat production Sorbitol is converted into fructose inside your liver, bypassing normal metabolic controls and overwhelming your ability to process sugar safely Strengthening your gut bacteria, eliminating vegetable oils and alcohol, and increasing choline-rich foods help protect your liver from sorbitol-driven damage Simple daily steps — removing sorbitol-containing products, restoring gut balance, supporting vitamin D metabolism, and using whole-food carbs — give you direct control over your liver health

Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins, who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the correct information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Sweeteners have many side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, but it is also physically damaging to the brain because it creates oxidative stress in the brain. (24:00) Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is raised longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body "needs" sugar, your body will make it. Fats and proteins are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Better Mental Health Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues, but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first, and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It's not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we've been told are healthy that aren't (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news, which are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is a change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at https://diagnosisdiet.com. You can also find a clinician's directory on her website.

We all know eating too much sugar is bad for our health – but would we be better off replacing it with artificial sweetener? It's a question Science Weekly listener Marion posed recently and, as Madeleine Finlay tells Ian Sample, the answer is complicated. She explains what the science says about sugar v sweeteners with the help of Prof Havovi Chichger, from Anglia Ruskin University, and Prof Jim Krieger, from the University of Washington's school of public health.

In this episode, I break down the controversy surrounding protein bars following a recent UK TV programme that claimed they are harmful. I cover why people use protein bars, the evidence behind key ingredients such as sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and gums, and how ultra-processed foods fit into the bigger dietary picture. I explain how context, individual response, and overall diet quality matter more than single ingredients or individual foods.Chapters:02:30 – 04:20 - Why people actually use protein bars and why the comparison should be with real alternatives, not idealised whole food meals.04:20 – 06:00 - Where protein bars sit in the protein hierarchy and why they're a situational tool rather than a daily staple.06:00 – 07:40 - Ultra processed foods explained, including what Kevin Hall's research really shows about appetite and intake.07:40 – 10:00 - Sweeteners overview: safety, appetite effects, individuality.10:00 – 12:20 - Sugar alcohols: why they're used and why some people experience GI symptoms.12:20 – 14:10 - Gums and fillers: what they do and why tolerance varies between people.14:10 – 16:20 - How to assess if a protein bar is a good choice for you.16:20 – 18:20 - Protein targets and why many people overshoot, leading to unnecessary reliance on bars.

Have you recently switched to a dairy-free diet and suddenly realized your old protein powder is off the table? Or maybe you've heard that most conventional protein powders are loaded with fillers, artificial sweeteners, gums, and even heavy metals — and now you're wondering what safe, clean protein powder alternatives you're actually supposed to buy. If you're anything like me — or my clients — you're probably standing in the protein aisle (or scrolling on Amazon) feeling completely overwhelmed. There are so many options… and let's be honest: not all of them taste great, and not all of them are good for your gut. That's why today, I'm breaking down the top 10 healthy, dairy-free, gluten-free, gut-friendly protein powders that my clients and I personally use and love. I'll walk you through:who each powder is best for,why my clients liked it,and what makes each one a great fit for sensitive digestion. And make sure you stay until the end — because I'm revealing the TOP recommendations LAST. I'll also give you a quick summary of which protein powders to try first depending on what's going on in your body — whether you're dealing with candida, want the best plant-based options, or you need something for a super-sensitive gut. As we head into the holiday season — with travel, treats, and routine changes — I hope these recommendations give you easy, delicious ways to support your gut, your energy, and your taste buds.

Send us a textIn this Weight Loss Wednesday, Charlotte answers more listener questions about everything from loose skin to sweeteners. She gets into the mindset shifts that make weight loss sustainable, the math behind TDEE, and why the slow-cooked frog might just be your new favourite metaphor.In this episode:How much control we really have over loose skin (and what actually helps)Why self-loathing after yo-yo dieting is a spiral that can be interruptedWhat happens to your TDEE as you lose weight and how to make the transition easierThe “slow-cooked frog” strategy for calorie reductionA realistic take on artificial sweeteners and low-fat productsA personal question about pets (and why the answer involves three little boys and no lizards)Key takeaways:Genetics play a major role in loose skin, but losing slowly, staying hydrated, and moisturising can help.Self-loathing is unproductive. It's aimed at a past version of you that no longer exists.Adjusting your calorie intake gradually is far more sustainable than big cuts.Sweeteners and low-fat products can be useful tools, not villains.Weight loss is hard, but it doesn't have to be miserable.Looking for help on your weight loss journey?

Here in the south, for many, the beverage of choice is sweet tea. But if you're an unsweetened iced tea drinker like me, you're faced with a myriad of options to sweeten your beverage. You can use sugar or products like Sweet'N Low, Equal, Splenda, or Truvia. It's a newer choice made from the stevia plant. But one of those sweeteners may do something more than replace sugar. It can help those suffering from hair loss grow hair. Researchers have found that combining stevia with minoxidil, the hair-loss agent in Rogaine, can improve the hair growth process. Let me try to explain...

This week on The Wellness Scoop we're answering your questions, starting with one of the most common debates: is it better to add sugar or a sweetener to your tea? We'll look at what the latest science and WHO guidance actually says, and the best way to approach it long term. We then dive into fibre, the difference between soluble and insoluble, how they work together in the gut, and whether you really need to worry about getting the perfect balance between the two. Next up, calcium. If you eat little or no dairy, how can you still meet your needs? We'll cover the top plant-based sources, from sesame seeds and hummus to calcium-set tofu and fortified milks, plus why vitamin D is just as important for absorption. We also unpack the growing trend for adaptogens like ashwagandha, maca and lion's mane, asking how much evidence there really is behind the hype and whether they're worth the spend. And finally, how to keep your healthy eating habits going as the seasons change. We'll explore habit stacking, the behavioural science behind linking new habits to ones you already do, and share practical ways to boost the nutrition of your favourite autumn comfort foods so you can carry your summer momentum through the darker months.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is a renowned expert in nutrition, health, and wellness, known for her insights into the impact of dietary choices on overall health. With a focus on the effects of non-nutritive sweeteners, gut health, and oxidative stress on the body, Dr. Hieshetter is a leading voice in helping individuals understand how modern dietary elements affect their well-being. She is a frequent speaker and educator in the field, dedicated to making scientific research accessible to the public. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the intricate world of non-nutritive sweeteners, focusing on erythritol and its alarming implications for brain health and cardiovascular risk. Drawing from a forthcoming 2025 study, she discusses the adverse effects of erythritol on brain microvascular endothelial function, highlighting increased risks for cerebrovascular events and cardiovascular mortality. Extend the conversation to include a large cohort study involving Finnish smokers, Dr. Hieshetter emphasizes the dire consequences associated with erythritol consumption, urging a reevaluation of these sweeteners' legality given their potential health risks. Dr. Hieshetter further explores the complexities of sweeteners like stevia and their unknown long-term impacts. She references various studies, including Project SWEET and insights from European research on artificial sweeteners, revealing how these substances may inadvertently contribute to chronic health issues like elevated triglycerides and impaired kidney function. Shifting attention to gut health, Dr. Hieshetter emphasizes dietary integrity and the pivotal role of a healthy gut microbiome in preventing inflammation and chronic disease. Concluding with practical dietary advice and upcoming topics on gut health, Dr. Hieshetter leaves listeners equipped with crucial knowledge and a call for proactive health vigilance. Key Takeaways: Erythritol, a common non-nutritive sweetener, has been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in a recent study. The Finnish cohort study uncovers grave mortality risks tied to erythritol, with significant implications for cancer and heart disease. Despite its popularity, the long-term safety of stevia remains largely unvalidated, with some evidence suggesting potential health risks. Gut health plays a critical role in overall wellness, and maintaining a balanced microbiome is crucial in preventing kidney and other systemic health issues. Dr. Hieshetter advocates for choosing natural foods over artificial additives to reduce health hazards related to modern dietary patterns. Notable Quotes: "Erythritol is actually changing the microvascular function of the blood vessels that bring nutrients to the brain." "The higher the erythritol, the higher the risk of death and cancer in these folks." "Ingesting all these artificial sweeteners either raised your triglycerides and your liver enzymes or raised your LDL cholesterol." "It's really critical to understand that when you see these groups… they can be manufactured without the things that are harmful to our brains." "Gut permeability is pivotal in the etiology of all immune disorders and in eliciting chronic inflammation." Resources: Moms Across America: An organization focused on protecting children from harmful food additives and advocating for safer food production practices. World Health Organization: Provides guidelines on sweetener use and health recommendations. Project SWEET Study: A study evaluating the effects of non-nutritive sweeteners on metabolism and health.

Key Takeaways: Erythritol and Cardiovascular Risks: Recent studies indicate a strong association between erythritol intake and increased risks of heart attack and stroke, primarily due to its impact on blood clots and platelet activity. Mortality and Long-Term Health Impact: A 150% increased overall mortality risk is associated with erythritol consumption, with significant implications for cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Natural vs. Artificial Erythritol: While erythritol occurs naturally in certain fruits and foods, the concentrated form used as an artificial sweetener poses substantial health risks. Consumer Awareness is Key: Erythritol often lurks in sugar-free and keto-friendly foods; understanding this can help individuals avoid unintended health risks. Practical Tips for Healthier Choices: Check product labels and stay informed about the ingredients in seemingly "healthy" food options, particularly those targeting specific diets like keto and paleo. Notable Quotes: "I'm especially thankful for all the listeners; I hope that you guys are getting healthier each week." "Erythritol is no joke…it enhances platelet activity and thrombosis." "The risk of myocardial infarct and stroke is huge with erythritol." "You double your risk of stroke if you are using erythritol." "When erythritol occurs naturally in fruits and fermented foods, is it as deadly? No." Resources: Recent Studies: Nature and Medicine: "The Artificial Sweetener Erythritol and Cardiovascular Event Risk," March 2023. Nutrients Journal: "Serum Erythritol and Risk of Overall and Cause Specific Mortality in a Cohort of Men," September 2024. Listeners are encouraged to explore these topics further for a deeper understanding of the impact erythritol may have on health.

On this episode, we're going deep into the forest with Michael Farrell, Co-Founder of The Forest Farmers.  Michael and his team are managing over 10,000 acres of forest in New York and Vermont to produce what they believe to be the most regenerative sweetener on the planet. You'll hear how The Forest Farmers' keep forests diverse and thriving, why maple syrup is nutritionally and environmentally superior to more popular, cheap sweeteners, and how brands can integrate maple ingredients into everything from beverages to baked goods. We unpack how maple trees become a full suite of Regenerative Organic Certified® products — from sap to syrup to sugar — and how those ingredients are now powering a new generation of regenerative brands like Recoup, Wild Orchard, and Alec's Ice Cream.  Michael also shares why only 1% of U.S. maple trees are tapped today, and how shifting consumer demand can change that.
