Will you be in Austin for South by Southwest? Stop by Andy’s session – which is just a month away – on sugar’s role in our food system and strategies to reduce this controversial compound.
As consumers become more attuned to how much sugar they ingest daily, they are reevaluating choices they have made for decades – especially in beverages. This session will focus on sugar’s historical role in beverages, alternative sweeteners and novel sweetener technology, that may be the future of sweetness. Come to test your knowledge of how much sugar is added to some unexpected foodstuffs during an interactive exercise.
