SUGAR SUPLEMENT - Saccharine - Neuro Toxin or Not???

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Its Goran from Macedonia writting...

Today we are on SCD day 50 and we are ok with eathink, food, drinks etc,

etc,...

We start Nut bread, almond etc, some times I repeat the Intro for 1-2 days,

just when some tantrums come, but we are ok...

I have a question and is very important to me:

My son likes very much to drink juices, a tons...

Now he drink only lemon lemonade, plum compote, no sugar added...

But he likes sweat...

I was adviced from you that Hermesetas sweetenr is the best...

So I make a huge expedition and find Swiss Hermesetas mini sweetener, and buy

for the next 3 years....

BUT, reading around, on other groups, and from other parrents, I receive

advices that

saccrine is a neuro toxin and this is not safe for my son....

The link for Hermseat mini sweetenrs and content:

lemonade with sweeteners in, why everybody say that Saccharin is neuro toxin???

Hi, Goran,

The -ol products such as xylitol are sugar alcohols and not digested so

they feed the bad gut bugs. They are illegal. Here is what Elaine

xylitol

illegal

(list) Sorbitol, mannitol, erythritol and xylitol

are all sugar alcohols and are not SCD

legal. They fall under the category of

indigestible carbs and so allow companies to

label things ‘sugar free’, even though they are

providing nutrition to the bacteria that live in our digestive tracts.
