197. Are artificial sweeteners making you fat?

Paul talks about artificial sweeteners (Stevia, Sucralose, Aspartame) in this episode and how they appear to disrupt our guts, and impair glucose tolerance in both animal models and humans. He reiterates why he believes you should not fear sugar in the form of fruit, honey, and maple syrup and why adding carbohydrates to your diet is optimal.
