There can be constant questions and confusion from patients and clients about low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS). How do I use them? Are they all the same? How do I know they are safe? How do LNCS impact my health?
LNCS are being used more widely as new food, beverage, and supplement products are innovated. Consumers are seeking the help of healthcare professionals to determine the difference between eye-catching headlines and evidence-based science. Healthcare professionals have an opportunity to help their patients and clients make informed decisions about what LNCS are the best for their overall health and well-being.
Join Dr. Wendy Wright, nurse practitioner, on November 30th at 3 p.m. ET for a webinar that will explore LNCS safety and regulation, options, and trends, and ways your patients can use LNCS to achieve their health goals. Learn More…
