How much sugar are you really eating each day &mdash; and what is it doing to your body? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, Susie and Leanne take a deep dive into the world of sugar and the fast-growing category of sugar alternatives. From coffee syrups and &ldquo;healthy&rdquo; bliss balls to slushies, sauces and acai bowls, we expose where hidden sugars are sneaking into your diet and why Australians are consuming almost triple the World Health Organization&rsquo;s daily recommendation. We also explore the cutting-edge science of allulose &mdash; a newly approved natural sweetener that looks, tastes and bakes like sugar but doesn&rsquo;t spike blood glucose. Could this be the breakthrough that finally helps us cut down without sacrificing taste? Inside this episode: <ul> <li> The surprising amount of added sugar the average Australian eats every day </li> <li> The health consequences of sugar overload, from inflammation to insulin resistance </li> <li> The truth about &ldquo;natural&rdquo; sugars like honey, maple and coconut sugar </li> <li> The rise of sugar replacements &mdash; from artificial sweeteners to monk fruit, and now allulose </li> <li> Practical tips for reducing added sugars while still enjoying baking, coffee, and treats </li> <li> Our listener Q&A: How to make healthier swaps in your favourite baked goods </li> </ul> If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered how to enjoy sweet foods without the downsides, this episode will give you the evidence-based guidance you need.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
