In this episode I am joined by Vicky, Amy and Debbie talking about the challenges of eating healthily in today's world.

What's the deal with artificial sweeteners?
Carrageenan, what on earth does that mean?
Organic vs non organic food?
We have allergies, how do I manage that?

We share our struggles, but also solutions!

What we love:
Artificial sweetener free tonics - Fevertree range (essential for hubby as aspartame triggers his gout)

Porridge with raspberry chia jam (nice as coming into Autumn).

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/raspberry-chia-jam is a nice recipe.

My advice: Check labels to avoid artificial sweeteners: aspartame, acesulfame K, sucralose. In my view small amounts of sugar are better than using artificial sweeteners. Choose products with the fewest ingredients. Long lists of chemicals indicate high degrees of processing and far removed from the natural form of food.
