This is a follow-up Q&A episode to the Artificial Sweeteners and Food Additives podcast I did back in August. I polled my email list (join at the link in bio!) for follow-up questions, and this podcast is the result.
Question topics include:
1. Reviewing the Acceptable Daily Intake standard of aspartame (e.g., diet coke)
2. Natural flavors in beverages
3. US vs. Europe standards
4. Cooking spray
5. Sweeteners, metabolism, cognition, and “confusion”
