                                According to a global market study, over half of consumers are actively trying to reduce their sugar intake, but the colloquial term 'fake sugar' causes confusion. The truth is that while there is no such thing as fake sugar in a literal sense, there is a diverse category of sugar substitutes with distinct properties, origins, and effects on the body.
