Sweeteners: Sugar Escape Hatch or Metabolic Shell Game?

Sweetener discourse is a mess because the category is too broad. Allulose, erythritol, aspartame, stevia, monk fruit, and sugar alcohols differ by calories, metabolism, gut tolerance, regulatory treatment, cardiovascular questions, cancer controversy, and what they replace in the diet.
