Honey, We Shrunk the Sugar!

from Watch What You Eat · host Carolyn O'Neil

Episode guest: Alexandria (Ale) Zozos, MS RDN, Registered Dietitian and Cookbook Author Description: While the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises we cut back on added sugars, not all sugars are created equal. Taste research shows that the perceived sweetness of honey is higher than that of table sugar, so you can use less. That makes honey a healthier choice because you can reduce sugar intake and still enjoy the taste of sweetness. In this episode, registered dietitian Ale Zozos, who specializes in the taste and health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, shares even more attributes of honey and the best kinds to buy and use for taste and health.
