You catch (and kill) more flies with this sweetener

August 25, 2024 by Captain Organic Planet

In a study that began as a sixth-grade science fair project, researchers at Drexel University have found that a popular non-nutritive sweetener, erythritol, may be an effective and human-safe insecticide.

Non-nutritive sweeteners affect human microbiomes and can alter glycemic responses

August 20, 2022 by Captain Organic Planet

Regular soda, please: Hormone that differentiates sugar, diet sweeteners could exist in humans

February 11, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

We’ve all been there: We eat an entire sleeve of fat-free, low-calorie cookies and we’re stuffing ourselves with more food 15 minutes later.
