What Sweeteners to Avoid
Aspartame
This is usually in the blue packets… Think Equal. Used in Diet Coke (Yuk!).
Sucralose
Think Yellow… this is also known as Splenda.
Saccharin
This is usually pink… This would be Sweet in Low.
All of these are quite popular… and all have come into the diet space claiming that they are a better option to sugar.
But are they really?
At what cost??
After I started digging into the wholefood space and learning more about what is in what we eat…
Not just calories… not just fat grams…
but ingredients.
That’s when my eyes were opened to how bad these artificial sweeteners really are for our health.
I actually threw away 80% of the food in my pantry.
So if you are eating low carb… what sweeteners are SAFE to use?
What Sweeteners to Use
