Consumer Affairs, Diet and Nutrition, Health, Science & Medicine

Not all sugars are created equal, and not all sweeteners are the guilt-free fix they claim to be. Dr Evangeline Mantzioris, nutrition expert from the University of South Australia, joins JOY Drive to unpack the science behind sugar, honey and artificial sweeteners. We discuss hidden sugars, honey myths, sweetener controversies and whether “natural” means healthier. Plus, why does fruit get an unfair bad rap, and what does the World Health Organisation say about your daily dose of sweetness?
