Here are the two best sugar substitutes since aspartame has been designated as a possible carcinogen by the WHO. Hi, I’m Dr. Shintani, MD and nutritionist trained at Harvard. A lot of people have been asking, \u201cNow what do we do for a sugar substitute? Sucralose? Saccharin?\u201d Well, I recommend avoiding artificial chemical sweeteners such as these because they’re unnatural and the body doesn’t know what to do with them and ultimately they’ll have side effects. I prefer the natural alternatives, stevia or monk’s fruit. Stevia comes from the Paraguayan herb stevia rebaudiana and monk’s fruit comes from lo han guo, long used in Chinese medicine. Because both stevia and monk’s fruit are natural glycosides, they have very few side effects. So to get healthy now, consider using these natural sweeteners..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
