YOU OMMITTED ERYTHRITOL WHICH IS ALWAYS ADDED

Not true. You can buy it pure. Its just very expensive. I buy 100% pure Monk Fruit on Amazon

I use the Lakanto drops which are pure monk fruit (unlike their powder version which has erythritol). I used to use stevia drops but monk fruit tastes much better with no after taste

yes! a paper came out today in Nature Medicine that showed Erythritol is associated with increase adverse cardiac events and increased platelet reactivity leading to thrombosis (clots). So if you’re using monk fruit that’s mixed with Erythritol, then I would recommend switching to another product, like pure monk fruit

Monk fruit is very popular in Thailand too! It was introduced by Chinese immigrants about 60-70 years ago and known as Lor Hung Guay drink (monk fruit juice)Nowadays, the drink is very popular throughout the country. Most restaurants especially the ones that owned by Thai-Chineses have the drink to offer you. People can also find the drink in all 7-11 or most convenient stores in our country. I started to reduce a large amount of sugar and replace it with monk fruit. I bought “XPRS Nutra brand” because it’s extract power, small bottle and I can bring with me everywhere. The brand also claims that there are 25% mogroside.

@simonialei9020 Год назад

I just buy the whole dried monk fruit in Asian supermarkets, break it into smaller pieces, and boil it with water for 10 minutes making a monkfruit tea syrup to add to coffee. However Monkfruit has a unique herbal taste that not everyone can accept. I'm ok with it but my husband hates the smell and taste.

Thank you Dr. So, which is a better Monk fruit or Allulose? Or is it that we don't know enough yet, and based on the individual?

@blinderised2656 11 месяцев назад

Since Allulose is not as sweet as sugar and monk fruit is 200 times sweeter than sugar, I like to use a blend of allulose/monk fruit to get about the same bulk/sweetness of table sugar. Most monk fruit will be mixed with something anyway and I'd rather have allulose than erythritol of maltodextrin.

Hello Dr Kim Thanks for taking the time to do the videos about sweeteners. I have been using the 100% MONK DROPS (liquid) sold on amazon and another brand by XPRS NUTRA in very fine powder form which is also sold on amazon. I read the reviews and thought these two product claim as 100% so, I am using these two so far. I did read some time ago that study shows in Mice that it makes heart swelling for allulose. I could be two times of your age and I am not diabetic. For the first time my Hemoglobin A1C was one point high last year. From next day, I started researching for an alternative sweetener and started using the above two brands Monk Fruit sweetener. I am always under 105 but from last year my weight has come down to 97. I am not on any medication but do have thyroid nodules. After watching your videos on Allulose and Monk Fruit and you mentioned to write comments which brand and why we chose this brand I am writing this comment. I also had UTI infection may be three time in 7 years. Also At Least one time I wake up in the night to go the bathroom.

I use Monkfruit as a sweetener because I don't need much to sweeten my coffee and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. I use the enlight brand I picked it because it says just pure Monkfriut extract. I also used Allulose too. To me these are the only two sweeteners I trust. I stay away from anything with a high glycemic index but if I do once in a while want to take a break and use a sweetener those are the two best for me. Allulose is really great yet not quite as sweet as Monk fruit. I have also experimented with combining them and got good results.

After watching several videos on allulose from you and other apparently reliable researchers, I'm going to try making homemade ice cream with it for him

@joyceshepherd5482 9 месяцев назад

Why Monk fruit being mixed with erythritol? the brand I use is Lankanto because I am a diabetic and because there’s no after taste

@mirzamay Год назад

I do consider being specifically sought after and propagated by monks for its benefits for hundreds of years, so much so that it is named after monks, a type of human trial. I also consider something that increases dangerous bacteria, as allulose can, a really big red flag. Since our modern diet decimates good bacteria and overgrows bad bacteria already, creating an epidemic of the diseases that shouldn't have these bad bacteria. We don't even know we have these diseases until they progress to the significant damage stage. While it is getting established we are always in the dark. As well monk fruit is whole or moderately processed, either dehydrated juice or super blended and dehydrated. But allulose is an extract which normally in our food is balanced by the rest of the food it is extracted out of, and we are always getting in trouble with these kinds of extracted, processed additives. No one says oh don't eat corn or sea weed, but inevitably the little bit we separate out and use in significant higher amounts turn out to cause cancer or some other problem. Even though I'm not necessarily against them in moderation I'm definitely not seeking them out on purpose. These additives on top of what we've removed is the single biggest health destroyer of our modern age.

Was recently diagnosed w/T2MD. Not from consuming lots of sugar. But, lots of carbs mainly bread products. I knew I should've eaten more whole wheat. But, less consumption. Gosh, I miss my pizza lol However, since my diagnosis.. my diet consists of high protein, high fiber, low carb, low fat, low to no sugar. Wasn't too much of a dessert person either. -- I been using Lakanto Monk Fruit (Granules and Powdered) w/Erythritol very sparingly. Oh, I hardly eat anything processed now too! I learned to make things from scratch. Yes, even bread. I use a combination of whole wheat flour, almond flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour, add flax meal, chia seeds, sun flower seeds, and even nuts. I even made a few desserts. Of course, when it comes to recipes. Since monkfruit is 600x sweeter. When it comes to recipes and it asks for 1/2 cup of monkfruit, I'll use 1/8 cup. If recipe asks for 1 tbsp, I'll use 1 tsp. The "hint" of sweetness is good enough for me! Since I don't crave sweets, I'll make a dessert once every 3-4 weeks.

For everyone spouting off about the erythritol study that refers to the "potential dangers of erythritol", this study was done before erythritol sweetener was available to consumers. The study actually refers to endogenous erythritol, not dietary erythritol. Thiseans that sick people have higher naturally occurring levels of erythritol. Please do some research before trying to frighten other viewers. P.S. this video is not about erythritol. It's about Monk Fruit.
