Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Jan.... at's what I been talkin' 'bout They are of no use in losing weight. Also I just read today that sacchrine is being dropped from the known carcinogens list. Sorbitol is what you say it is ... It is sucrose with the addition of 3 chloride molecules that make it much sweeter. All adverse efects if any are found at extremely high doses that no normal person would ever use. They are relatively usless except to manufacturers of products that use them because of the cost. love jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 My nutritionist told me not to use Stevia - she told me to use Blue Agave Sweetener instead (available at Trader Joe's) -Pat (http://www.monogramsmp.com/) **************AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Stevia usually causes no side effects such as intestinal problems, laxative effects.......Xylitol and Erythritol may or may not, depending on individual...... I use Stevia everyday in my drinks, use others when I bake or on fruit, with no problems............. Blessings, Margaret Heaven is within us.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have started using Xylitol which I find is quite good. It has no aftertaste, tastes just as good as sugar in my opinion, has less carbs than sugar and is actually good for your teeth (they use it in chewing gum). It's quite a bit more expensive than normal sugar, I bought 250g from Holland & Barrett for £2.59. But I consider it a small price to pay considering the advantages of it. You can also use it for baking, in hot drinks, cereals, etc. Apparently ingesting large quantities can cause laxative effects, but if you start off with a small amount, you build up the enzymes which can then process it properly and should hopefully spare you the experience. I haven't had any effect like this yet (fingers crossed!) I haven't tried stevia yet but from what I have read it seems to be a safe product to use. hope that helps :-) Regards Law > > I'm guessing maltitol is bad.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks Margret and Lawrence! Now if I can only find a way to eat chocolate. I've found sugar and maltitol free, and hydrogentated oil free, but not both. Dana > > > > I'm guessing maltitol is bad.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Make your own with virgin coconut oil (1 cup) unsweetened chocolate and/or pure cocoa powder (to taste, I use about 2 oz choc, and 1/2 cup cocoa) and stevia (or favorite sweetener). Melt VCO and choc together, add cocoa, sweetener, and anything else you like. I add dried unsweetened coconut, almond meal, chopped nuts...... mix it all up, place in a wax paper lined 8x8 in pan, refrigerate until set firm but not totally hard, cut into squares, store in fridge. sol nosdollgic wrote: > Thanks Margret and Lawrence!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 This is a question that I have not been able to find definitive answer for through google, but maybe someone like Duncan, or Duncan, knows something about this. Is xylitol or erythritol bad for candida issues? Xylitol kills acidophilus strains in the mouth, so why not in the gut? I know it does not feed candida, because I do not react to it like I do to sugar at all, but is it hurting my defensive line up? Erythritol is the 'new kid on the block' and is also claimed not to feed candida. I know practically nothing about this one, but I tried a root beer sweetened with it and it was delicious. So what's the call? greg > > Thanks Margret and Lawrence! Now if I can only find a way to eat chocolate.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Greg, the alcohols don't feed candida, but they do kill some organisms in a dose-dependent manner. A sweetener is pretty low-dose so it won't kill much in the gut.
