Cabral Concept: Wellness | Weight Loss | Anti Aging I Detox L Functional Medicine

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a quick question on sugar vs non-caloric sweeteners such as xylitol, erythritol and mannitol. I mostly eat a very healthy Mediterranean diet however sweets are my guilty pleasure! I try not too eat too much sugar and avoid artificial sweeteners at all cost, so lately I've been buying some ice cream and chocolate sweetened with xylitol and erythritol assuming this would be 'better for me', but deep down I'm wondering whether a bit of sugar would actually be better than these additives. I've listened to your podcasts on natural non-nutritive sweeteners but never heard you directly compare them to sugar and say which would be a healthier choice. For context I'm fit and healthy with good insulin sensitivity but have suffered from IBS-D in the past. Thanks!   Luke: I have been through quite a lot,
