"Exploring Keto Sweeteners: Stevia, Monk Fruit, Erythritol, Xylitol. Dust'er Mud Podcast Ep. 21 delves into sugar alternatives for 2024 Keto transition."

In this episode of the Dust'er Mud Podcast, we delve deep into the world of sugar alternatives, essential for anyone considering a ketogenic lifestyle. Join us as we unpack the nuances of popular artificial sweeteners and how they fit into a Keto diet.

1. Sweeteners on Keto: We begin by exploring the sweeteners we've embraced in our journey - stevia, monk fruit, and sugar alcohols like erythritol. We share our experiences with their tastes and how we incorporate each into our diet, along with a discussion on major brands.

2. Sugar and the Body: Transitioning to the science, we discuss the effects of sugar consumption on the body. Understand the role of insulin in glucose transport and its impact on fat-burning processes. This segment is crucial for those looking to understand why sugar is not part of a Keto diet.

3. The Wonders of Digestion: We conclude with a fascinating look at the human body's digestive processes and the hormones involved. We also address the lack of extensive studies on many newer sweeteners and how this impacts our understanding of their effects when consumed.

Join us in this enlightening episode, prepare to kick sugar to the curb, and embrace healthier sweetener alternatives in your ketogenic journey. Remember, understanding your food is the first step towards a transformative lifestyle.

️Ultra-Processed Foods and the Fight for Accountability
In this hard-hitting episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, we dive deep into the world of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and their impact on health, society, and the next generation. With over 70% of the average American diet now coming from UPFs, the consequences are staggering: skyrocketing obesity rates, type 2 diabetes, and other diet-related diseases.

But this isn't just about numbers—it's about accountability. We explore the groundbreaking lawsuit filed by a brave 16-year-old boy against some of the largest food corporations in the world. Is this the beginning of a major reckoning for Big Food? Or will it be just another attempt to hold them accountable that gets buried under corporate influence?

What we discuss in this episode:
The real health impacts of ultra-processed foods (UPFs).
How Big Food uses marketing and addiction science to keep us hooked.
The unprecedented lawsuit: What does it mean for the food industry?
Steps YOU can take to protect your family and support real food systems.
Join us as we break down this critical issue and uncover what’s really at stake for your health and future generations.

Let’s empower change, one meal at a time.

️ Beef prices just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH, and it’s only getting worse. The cost of raising cattle has skyrocketed, the national herd is shrinking, and the future of beef affordability is uncertain. But is this just a temporary spike, or are we witnessing a reckoning in the food system?

In this episode of the Dust'er Mud Podcast, we break down:
✅ Why beef prices are at historic highs (herd downsizing, supply & demand, heifer retention)
✅ The hidden costs of industrial agriculture – subsidies, environmental debt, and future food shortages
✅ Why local food ISN’T cheaper (and why that’s not the point!)
✅ What’s coming next? Will beef prices ever drop, or is this the new normal?

If you eat beef, this affects YOU. The food system is changing—are you ready?

WATCH UNTIL THE END for a deep dive into the real cost of food and what consumers can do to take control of their food security.

️Egg prices are skyrocketing again—but why? In this episode of the Dust'er Mud Podcast, we break down the real reasons behind rising egg prices, including:

✅ Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and mass flock culling
✅ New cage-free laws impacting large-scale egg producers
✅ The real struggle of small farms balancing fair pricing & ethical food sales

As small-scale farmers, we have to navigate the fine line between making a sustainable living and ensuring food remains accessible. Is there a moral dilemma when pricing food? How do supply and demand, cost of production, and consumer expectations impact how eggs are priced?

Why do consumers expect premium food at bargain prices?
Should small farms raise prices just because the market does?
What does “fair pricing” actually mean when selling food?

We get real and raw about the business of food—something big corporations don’t want you to think about.

Listen now and join the conversation in the comments! Do you think small farms should price eggs based on market trends or their actual cost of production?

️ What did our grandparents know about food that we’ve forgotten? The Great Depression (1929-1941) forced families to rethink food, waste, and survival—and today, many of those lessons are just as relevant as ever. With rising prices, food shortages, and economic instability, we have a lot to learn from their resilience.

In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, we explore:
✅ How families fed themselves when food was scarce
✅ Creative Depression-era meals & how they stretched ingredients
✅ How extreme weather & the Dust Bowl changed farming forever
✅ The lost skills that made survival possible—and why we need them again
✅ Why growing your own food is the ultimate Real Food Movement

As we head into another unpredictable year, it’s time to relearn the skills that kept our ancestors fed. Whether you’re planning your spring garden, looking for ways to stretch your food budget, or simply curious about history, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and real-world applications.

What’s one Depression-era tip you use today? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to hear!

️We’re living in the era of fake food, where the shelves are lined with ultra-processed, chemically-altered, addictive food products designed to keep you eating—and keep you sick. Meanwhile, the ketogenic diet prioritizes real, whole foods that nourish, sustain, and fuel your body the way nature intended.

In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, we expose the real impact of UPFs and discuss why making the switch to REAL FOOD—whether that’s keto, low-carb, or regenerative farm-sourced—is critical for your health.

Topics We Cover:
✅ What exactly are ultra-processed foods, and why are they so harmful?
✅ The difference between real food and food “products” (Big Food’s dirty secret!)
✅ Why keto works: Metabolic health, fat adaptation, and satiety explained
✅ The addiction cycle: How UPFs are engineered to keep you hooked
✅ Why growing your own food is the ultimate rebellion against the system
✅ How to transition away from UPFs and toward a real food lifestyle

If you’ve ever wondered why people struggle to break free from junk food, this episode will open your eyes!

What’s been your biggest challenge in ditching UPFs? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to hear from you!
