This report investigates whether popular ‘healthy’ sugar substitutes are genuinely better for you, especially during the Ganpati festive season. A science-backed analysis examines sweeteners like brown sugar, jaggery, honey, stevia, and monk fruit, detailing their core ingredients and impact on the body. The discussion includes warnings from the WHO, which advises against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control or disease prevention. Experts Suman Agarwal and Rohan Sehgal explore hidden sugars in everyday foods, including fruits. A surprising finding from one expert reveals, "a fruit like lychee had spiked my blood sugar levels more than a can of Coke." The segment advises on moderation, the importance of retraining your palate to reduce sweetness, and making informed choices rather than completely banning sugar. #sugarshowdown #healthysweeteners #sugarmyths #itwebvideos #jaggery #honey #stevia #monkfruit #festiveeating #ganpati #health #nutrition #bloodsugar #glucosespike #indiatoday #sugarfree #knowyoursugar
