Headline: Sugar replacements: The good and the bad
Caption: Many people choose sugar substitutes as a healthier alternative, but they're not necessarily better. Expert nutritionist Elizabeth Houston (peppersmith.co.uk) gives the lowdown on sugar replacements and looks at what we can do to make life a little sweeter without compromising our health. "Let's start with the one on everyone's lips, hopefully not literally, Aspartame. It's a sweetener that's being talked about a lot. So, what is it and why's it such a big deal?" The expert explains that aspartame, commonly found in fizzy drinks and other sweet treats, has been used as a sugar alternative since the 1980s.
