BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, A spoonful of sweetener

What do sweeteners do to our bodies? James Gallagher investigates.

What do sweeteners do to our bodies? James Gallagher investigates. And how to spot shonky claims made by health podcasts.

What do sweeteners do to our bodies? We force feed James cups of sweetened tea and find out with nutrition scientist Dr Sarah Berry from King’s College London. We then tackle something stronger - alcohol. Can a new supplement reduce the amount of alcohol getting into the body? And Rohin Francis gets frustrated at the shonky claims being made by health podcasts (not this one, of course, you’re totally in the right place).

Presenter: James Gallagher
Producer: Beth Eastwood

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
