Transcript

00:00See the words sugar-free on a soda, cookie, or yogurt and think it's healthier?

00:05For seniors over 60, that's not always true.

00:08Let's uncover why some artificial sweeteners can do more harm than good,

00:12and how to enjoy sweetness wisely.

00:15Artificial sweeteners are man-made sugar substitutes.

00:19They often hide in diet drinks, packaged snacks, and sugar-free desserts.

00:24While they cut calories, they don't always cut risks.

00:27For some people, sweeteners can upset digestion, make cravings worse,

00:32or trick the brain into wanting more sweets later.

00:35Studies suggest that artificial sweeteners can confuse the body,

00:39sending mixed signals about sugar.

00:41Over time, this may affect mood, memory, and even blood sugar balance.

00:47But here's the good news.

00:48You don't need artificial sweeteners to enjoy life's sweetness.

00:52Natural, simple swaps can protect your body and still satisfy your cravings.

00:56Instead of diet soda, try sparkling water with lemon.

01:01Instead of flavored sugar-free yogurt, add honey and fruit to plain yogurt.

01:06And if you crave cookies, bake simple oatmeal cookies with a touch of natural sweetness.

01:11Sugar-free doesn't always mean health-friendly.

01:14By choosing natural options, you'll give your body steady energy,

01:17better digestion, and peace of mind.

01:21Remember, it's about choosing foods that love you back.
