I just got some erythritol to try. It isn't supposed to cause the GI

effects of Xylitol, maltitol and other sugar alcohols. It is too bad we

can't get cyclamate here. It has been proven it didn't cause cancer

after all. I'm told its legal in Canada, but not here. Some people who

live close enough stock up when they cross the border.As I recall, it

tasted far better than any other sweetener I've used in the past 40

years, but maybe I mis-remember. I do remember I liked pop that had

cyclamate, and stopped using SF soda when it was withdrawn because

saccharin was, to me, nasty in aftertaste.
