@drgreghealth: These are the three sugar alternatives I would never use. And one of them is probably in your pantry right now... Here's where I draw the line: Number one: aspartame. The World Health Organization has classified it as a possible carcinogen, and it's been shown to disrupt your gut bacteria. Number two: sucralose, or Splenda. New research shows it can alter your gut microbiome. And when it's heated, like in baking, it can break down into harmful compounds. Number three: high fructose corn syrup. It's everywhere in processed food, and it's strongly tied to fatty liver and insulin resistance. If I can't pronounce it, or it didn't exist 100 years ago, it's probably not going in my body.
