RE: LAKANTO sweetner- legal?

[Guest guest]

Dana,

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, like sorbitol. It has no calories because it is

not absorbed during digestion. It then goes down into your intestines where the

bad bugs have a party on it.

Sorry- it's not legal,

This is SCD illegal for a number of reasons, imo. As stated: ‘The

erythritol is quite chemically processed and so might be the Luo han fruit’.

I would not trust ‘Quite chemically processed’, AND I would not

trust any food product from China given their extremely non-existent food

safety laws.

Avoid Lakanto, it is SCD illegal. The only sweeteners allowed are

honey, fruit and saccharin.

Could

this sweetner- LAKANTO- be legal?

What Is Lakanto Made From? The two natural ingredients in Lakanto are erythritol

and the supersweet extract of the luo han guo fruit from

China. " The erythritol is quite chemically processed and so might be the

Luo han fruit.

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and is not SCD-legal.

I wouldn't trust anything that is a " super sweet extract "

because ghu-alone knows what they've done to it. I doubt the extract

bears any resemblance to the original fruit.
