In a recent Instagram post, dietitian Shweta J Panchal ranked popular sweeteners based on their glycemic impact and nutritional value. Her top recommendation, monk fruit, scores 8 to 9/10, making it suitable for diabetics. Dates follow closely with a 7 to 8/10 rating due to their fiber content. Honey is rated 7/10 for its antimicrobial properties. In contrast, artificial sweeteners, including aspartame and sucralose, received the lowest score, prompting Shweta to advise against their use. She also criticized common perceptions of brown sugar and coconut sugar, giving them a 3/10 rating, similar to white sugar. This analysis encourages consumers to scrutinize the sweeteners they use, particularly those labeled as 'sugar-free', to ensure they are making healthier choices. Shweta's insights serve as a guide for those managing blood sugar levels and seeking nutritional value in their sweeteners.
