Episode Title: Is 'Sugar-Free' Really Better? Unpacking WHO's New Guidelines on Sweeteners

Episode Notes:

In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into the World Health Organization's new guidelines on non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) and their potential impact on our health. According to the WHO, the use of NSS doesn't help with long-term weight control and could potentially lead to negative health impacts. We'll talk about what this means for our dietary habits and how we can adjust to make healthier choices.

Key discussion points include:

• What are non-sugar sweeteners?
• Understanding the WHO's new guidelines.
• Potential health implications of NSS.
• What this means for our dietary choices.
• Discussion on alternative natural sugars.
