When a Sweet Taste Can be Good for You, Truth About Fructose, Urban Myths, Metabolic Health Impacts of Most Sweeteners, Taste Receptors, Microbiota, and more in a Round 2 with NoMoSu Founder Sakiko Reuterskiöld (Episode #34)

Today’s guest is Sakiko Reuterskiöld, Founder and CEO of NOMOSU (NO MORE SUGAR), the honestly sugar-free and organic brand. Sakiko is a Japanese-Swedish graduate of The University of Cambridge who has a background in investment management and completed a 3-year Masters in Science (MSc) in Personalised Nutrition based on Functional Medicine. She is passionate about creating genuinely healthy food products and believes one needs to study and research deeply into food biochemistry, metabolic science, longevity and functional medicine to have the capacity to create truly health-enhancing food products. Brought up by gourmet parents who exposed her to delicious food experiences, Sakiko was determined that NOMOSU’s products taste as good – or better – than sugar-filled equivalents. After much research and development and blind taste-testing trials with chocolatiers and pastry chefs, she is super pleased to share NOMOSU’s line of products - objectively delicious chocolates. In this episode, we dig into: Urban myths and fake news about sweet ingredients, Latest research on taste receptors, metabolism, and microbiota, Evidence-based metabolic health impacts of the most commonly used sweeteners, Which natural sweet ingredients are NOT sucrose/fructose and are health-neutral or even health-enhancing, The single sweetener that will finally replace sugar as a healthy alternative, And much more!
