Shopping for Sugar Substitutes - Eat THIS Not THAT 

What is the difference between Organic Natural flavor and regular Natural Flavor on the label?

What about xylitol? Are its effects similar to erythritol?

No Sir you are not splitting hairs. Raw sugar with a molasses crystal is different. The natural form of sugar has this molasses crystal. They break eachother and we are able to digest both the molasses and sugar, normally that's not possible. It leads to all sorts of health benefits. Yes you have to watch your intake, no you cannot just sit on your butt; however NOT ALL CARBS ARE EQUAL.

Tommyboi, you gotta quit snorting an Adderall before you do these

Look into stevia being birth control basically

I just saw his recent video where he made cookie dough and talked all about alludes if you watch that it might be helpful 👍🏾

Cool. I'll try it. Thanks, sounds like fun.

Its 5 bucks for a lifetime supply, ill pass lol. jk

Me too - it’s on the bloody thumb nail lol

Allulose is good expensive doesn't seem to bother my stomach at all using for months and what I've studied pulls sugar from your body

Me too

@@joshashmore6341 Where do you get it from?

@@legendhavok1723 its at our grocery store Hannaford here in Maine. Its a Splenda brand in a small tub 8.99!

Look up SweetLeaf brand Stevia. It has no additives & has a ZERO glycemic index. It also tastes good & is not bitter

Yeah, most of a food shopping trip Iinvolves label reading when you go down the food aisle. Not so much on the perimeters.

It would not be as easy to fall for this grocery store tricks if USA had stricter food regulations. GMO, and natural flavors are easy for food companies to get away with in the North American food market because GMO does not have to be labelled, and food regulators don't question ingredients as much. That explains why for example the same Kellogs Cornflakes in USA, and in the UK look the same as a product, but the ingredients are drastically different. The average consumer don't pay attention to ingredients. It is the advertising on the front package that gets them, and food companies know this. They use buzz words, and stuff to trick folks into buying something healthy that may not be truly healthy.

Trust The brand or its poop. Its the legal way to fool us.

The store brand Seltzer I get only has Carbonated Water as it's ingredient.

Why does it say organic alcohol? ..is it another sugar alcohol..

That is silly, no offense. I am alcoholic and have not had an alcoholic beverage in 15 years. Why would the Alcohol from sugar do anything .. it doesn’t make logical sense.

@@Primal391 Some sweeteners use Alcohol as an ingredient to act as a preservative. Erythritol is also a sugar Alcohol that this person decided to avoid. Frankly I don't think their level of dedication was in any way "silly".

@@Primal391 Do you understand the addition process and triggers?

@@Primal391 it's not polite to say "it's silly" on social media - you can find an alternative reaction that is more compassionate. However I do admire you for being off alcohol for 15 years - well done. Your liver approves :-))

@@WanderingBobAK absolutely, i am an alcoholic. i am pretty sure i said that.

Exactly. I like fruits and sometimes they are not fully ripe, especially some pineapples, and I will then add some sweetener - honey or stevia is what I have in the pantry right now.

Have you used your DIY Sucralose Water instead of Simple Syrup in Cocktails? Say a Gimlet made with Gin, ACV, and DIY Sucralose Water.

SweetLeaf brand Stevia has no additives, no calories, a ZERO glycemic index, tastes good, & does not break a fast

What are it's ingredients?

It used to have natural flavor!, but I notice they took it out! Hehe

he mentions why, he has to be very cogniscent of the language he uses, as to not get flagged by youtube for 'misinformation' and get a strike against his channel

Aspartame is a pesticide that causes cancer? Really? Nobody is saying aspartame is wonderful, but you took every urban legend and ran with it. Chill out.

@@Hornet135 ever check the real research history on that stoff and the fight to get it on the market?

The problem with your message is you dismiss food accessibility. Some people don’t have access to all kinds of sugar substitutes and many can’t afford them. Everything in moderation. It’s best not to shame people into eating or using things or avoiding things. Give them the truth and there are some things he is very clear you can’t prove 100% so he mentions it.

I think he was saying to try to avoid it with fasting. I believe he has multiple viewer bases, e.g. keto, fasting, diabetic, etc. I think as far as keto, he's usually okay with it.

Just buy SweetLeaf brand Stevia. It has no additives, ZERO glycemic index, won't break a fast, & tastes good

Have you tried Now Foods Better Stevia brand? Allulose got a lot of hype as an alternative sweetener when Quest Nutrition started using Allulose in their Quest Hero Bars. Pure Allulose just like pure Monk Fruit is an acquired taste as an alternative sweetener. You either like it or you don't, but most folks can enjoy or tolerate alternative sweetener Stevia similar to Xylitol without missing sugar. Having mentioned all that Splenda will always be the king of alternative sweeteners because it taste just as sweet if not sweeter than sugar, and people are hooked on it to the point that alternative sweeteners like Stevia, and Xylitol won't cut it. I bought Stevia for my mom to try, but she did not like it enough to ditch Splenda. I am also one of those folks that get hungry or want to eat more after consuming something with Splenda, so I avoid it. The problem is Splenda is in almost everything now under the other name Sucralose. A lot of companies have stopped using sugar alcohols, and replaced it with Sucralose. For example Blue Bell Ice Cream stopped using sugar alcohols in their no sugar added ice cream, and replaced it with Sucralose. That change happened in 2015 after they had a listeria outbreak linked to Blue Bell ice cream.

Trader Joes sell organic stevia with only the stevia leaf, Its like $9 and has 630 servings.

@@Rick0125 That is cool. I don't have a Trader Joes in my city.

They should combine the 2

@@Shadow77999 They make one from a company My Normal Keto that is a blend of allulose, stevia, and monk fruit and they sell it on Amazon. I like to use that blend on a lot of keto stuff that I want a little sweeter like many of the bbq sauces or salad dressings. The Primal Kitchen balsamic vinaigrette sweetened up a little is so so much better

Thanks, and I found it on Amazon - will try it out.

The data I researched says aspertame is a neurotoxin. I guess quantity of ingestion makes a difference. For example I knew a woman addicted to diet cokes with aspertame. The combo couldn't be good over a length of time.

Same here!

Honey will spike your insulin the same as table sugar will. Use SweetLeaf brand Stevia. It has no additives, ZERO glycemic index, won't break a fast, & tastes great in both coffee & tea

@@colleenkaralee2280 It increases insulin sensitivity, but I've never heard of it causing an insulin response. I'm not sure who told you this?

@@colleenkaralee2280 Well, it kinda matters cause you bothered to mention it to me. I've searched all over & can't find any info about pure stevia causing any sort of insulin response. Many brands of stevia also contain small amounts of dextrose or erythritol which will cause a spike in blood sugar, but the brand I use is just pure stevia with no fillers

@@toddlesiak3837 Like yourself I could not find the research article referenced in my intermittent fasting mentor's book, "Delay Don't Deny", and a proponent of "clean fasting". You know, I don't know why I'm making such a big deal of it and I will delete my reply on the subject. I do a lot of dryfasting and I keep autophagy rev'd up by not putting anything in the body irregardless, so maybe that explains my fussiness.

@@colleenkaralee2280 I don't really think you're being fussy. Thanks for the info

I also am allergic to it. I figured it out real fast so I haven't had to much consumption of it but enough to know. Horrible stuff
