Are “Healthy” Lollies Actually Better? Plus New Research on Body Fat & Brain Health
Episode 332
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
Are low sugar lollies actually healthier… or just clever marketing? This week on The Nutrition Couch, Susie and Leanne take a deep dive into the booming “better-for-you” confectionery trend and unpack whether these fibre-based, low-sugar lollies are genuinely a smarter choice — or simply another ultra-processed product wearing a health halo. With brands like Fun Day dominating supermarket checkouts, are we being lured into a false sense of security? But that’s not all. Leanne shares compelling new research (January 2026) linking body fat distribution — not just body weight — to brain structure, cognitive performance and neurological disease risk. The findings raise important questions about muscle mass, abdominal fat, rapid weight loss, and long-term brain health. Plus: A practical review of convenient pre-prepared vegetables and whether they’re worth the price The truth about Aldi’s lower carb white bread and why not all “low carb” options are created equal A bigger conversation about ultra-processed foods and health star ratings This episode cuts through marketing noise and brings you back to what truly matters for long-term health, metabolic function and cognitive protection. If you’ve ever stood in the lolly aisle wondering “Is this actually better?” — this one’s for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
