I can only tell you that this sweetener would definitely not be legal on SCD.

Erythritol? Anyone heard of this?

I was browsing a website looking for no added sugar freeze dried

strawberries when I came across Erythritol. I'd never heard of it

before. Have you? Is this a new product? I couldn't find it on

the legal/illegal list.

*Erythritol is the world's first all-natural non-calorie bulk

sweetener. Eridex is manufactured in a process by which a glucose-

rich substrate is fermented and crystallized at a high purity rate.

The resulting product is similar in appearance and characteristics

to sucrose, but offering only about 70% of the sweetness.

Yes. It's a sugar alcohol, and bad ju-ju as far as SCDers are concerned. WE

can't digest it, but the bad bugs in our guts sure can, and will, and will

keep us sick.

Sugar alcohols often cause diarrhea in normal people. Imagine what evil

they could do for those of us with gut problems!

(It's too bad, too, because a legal solid sweetener with the same bulk as

sugar would make translating so many recipes much easier.)
