A spoonful of sweetener

What do sweeteners do to our bodies? James Gallagher investigates. And how to spot shonky claims made by health podcasts.

What do sweeteners do to our bodies? We force feed James cups of sweetened tea and find out with nutrition scientist Dr Sarah Berry from King鈥檚 College London. We then tackle something stronger - alcohol. Can a new supplement reduce the amount of alcohol getting into the body? And Rohin Francis gets frustrated at the shonky claims being made by health podcasts (not this one, of course, you鈥檙e totally in the right place).
