Tag: Sweeteners and fasting

Over 35% of people report trying intermittent fasting at some point, and one common question is how to handle bad breath without breaking the fast. Choosing the wrong breath freshener can trigger an insulin response and negate your fasting benefits, so it is crucial to know what mints won't break your fast.

According to one study, the regular consumption of low-calorie sweeteners has seen a widespread increase among adults and children, making the question of their compatibility with fasting more relevant than ever. While many zero-calorie products seem harmless, their impact during a fast is complex and depends heavily on your specific health goals and the type of sweetener used.
