Which one of the artificial/ natural sweeteners is the safest/ has at least side effects?
Are there any studies/ meta analysis on the topic?
The majority are generally fine unless you take a ridiculous amount of them.Stephanie Buttermore completed a meta analysis on sweeteners, which is available on her YouTube. Really good watch if you’re interested
Stevia is the first that comes to mind as an ingredient for added sugar types. Personally I sweeten my desserts with ground cinnamon, cacao powder, but mostly with honey. I also eat an insane amount of fruit so I get plenty of natural sugar. You can also sweeten dishes with fruits. Zesting an orange peel can add a nice flavor to things. I’ve abandoned anything with added sugar on a Mediterranean diet as high processed foods were messing with my esophagus. Honey and fruit is king for me.
