Recommended sugar substitutes?

Andrew Huberman recommends approaching sugar substitutes with caution, as they can impact brain and gut chemistry. For safer options, he suggests using xylitol for chewing gum and alulose as an additive. These alternatives do not present the same long-term safety concerns as some artificial sweeteners 1.

In terms of personal use, Andrew Huberman occasionally consumes beverages with a bit of stevia and avoids sucralose due to taste preferences. Monk fruit is noted to be too sweet for his liking 1.
