The Truth About Sweeteners

Guest: www.SweetSurprise.com

As we try to eat healthier, we often start by reading the nutrition label to check the fat grams, calories, what sweetener is used and more. Chances are we compare what we find on the label with what we think we know about healthy eating. But many people make decisions based on misperceptions. This segment highlights the similarities between commonly used sweeteners: high fructose corn syrup, sugar, and honey. High Fructose Corn Syrup has had its name dragged through the media. But the FDA says it is nutritionally the same as sugar, with the same number of calories and it is metabolized the same way.

Researchers say that 3 and a half tablespoons of olive oil is equal to a 200-mg tablet of ibuprofen, but it’s 400 calories, so consume this healthy fat while you give up other ones, like butter.
