What our research found about sugar & sweeteners
This shelf covers cane sugar, syrups and non-sugar sweeteners. Added sugars are sugars and syrups added in preparation, and the FDA labels them separately from natural sugars. Stevia, monk fruit, allulose and sugar alcohols such as erythritol are used to cut sugar, and many monk fruit and stevia retail blends are mostly bulking agents such as erythritol, which is why the ingredient list matters.
The evidence on non-sugar sweeteners is mixed. The World Health Organization’s 2023 guideline advises against using non-sugar sweeteners to control body weight, and a 2023 Nature Medicine study linked higher blood erythritol with cardiovascular events, although the finding is observational and not yet settled. Sugar alcohols can cause digestive upset in larger amounts. Whatever the choice, the goal is usually to reduce overall sweetness, not to swap one sweetener for another.

What to compare
- Read the whole list. Sweetener blends often list erythritol or dextrose before the named sweetener.
- Added sugar vs. sweetener. Cane sugar, syrups and honey are added sugars; stevia and monk fruit are not sugars.
- Digestive tolerance. Sugar alcohols can cause gas and loose stools in larger servings.
- Baking behavior. Substitutions rarely match sugar’s browning and moisture; check the product’s own guidance.
