Is it healthier to have real sugar than artificial sweeteners? How they compare, according to a dietitian.

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

There are six FDA -approved sweeteners: acesulfame potassium ( Ace-K ), advantame, aspartame, neotame, saccharin and sucralose.

Other low-calorie sweeteners include erythritol, monk fruit, allulose and steviol glycosides.

Compared to sugar, artificial sweeteners have fewer calories per gram and can be used in smaller quantities than sugar to deliver the same amount of sweetness.

The impact of sugar substitutes on the microbiome (tiny organisms including bacteria that live in your gastrointestinal tract and influence your health) is still under investigation.

Excess sugar consumption has been linked to cancer largely because of the impact that sugar has on obesity.

For most healthy people, consuming a small amount of sugar (less than 5% of total daily calorie intake) is probably better for you than loading up on artificial sweeteners.
