Title: Low-Calorie Sweetener Safety: Settled or Asking For Evidence?
Date: January 20
Time: 2 pm ET
60 minutes live webinar includes 10-15 minutes of live Q&A
Low- and no-calorie sweeteners are some of the most studied ingredients in the history of our food supply. Decades of scientific study has assessed their safety for use in foods and beverages. Yet, even with the body of evidence that has accumulated, the debate often ensues about the safety and health implications of consuming low- and no-calorie sweeteners. This webinar will cover the scientific literature related to the safety and metabolism of low- and no-calorie sweeteners so that attendees are more equipped to address questions on the topic.
Join this one-hour webinar to hear Dr. Ashley Roberts cover the safety and metabolism of low- and no-calorie sweeteners such as aspartame, monk fruit, stevia and sucralose.
