196: Sweet Poison: Unmasking the Hidden Risks of Artificial Sweeteners

This may very well be a touchy subject so… #dontshootthemessenger

There are lots of artificial sweeteners that are used as food additives, but today we are mainly focusing on Apartame 951 because it is a really common additive found in food, beverages, gums and more.

After conducting extensive research into this additive when we added it to our Additive-Free Lifestyle app, not only can we not believe that it is still used, but we also cannot understand how it’s not banned!

Here's the topics we covered:

1. What are artificial sweeteners?


2. Hot tip for allergy sufferers


3. The sugars we prefer to use


4. What is aspartame?


5. Where can it be found?


6. What are the possible reactions to aspartame?


7. How you can avoid it


8. What you can swap to instead


9. How to get family members on board

If you have found some benefit from this podcast episode we would love it if you could give us a review in your preferred podcast app – as this will help get our podcast show out to as many people as possible and spread the word about living an additive-free lifestyle.
