In reply to Kathy. I don't know much, but I would assume it would have unwanted digestive issues. Stick with the ones I've suggested, or to be ultra-careful use stevia or plain monkfruit.

In reply to David Coutcher. Hi David, it's not considered a food product here in Australia just yet, so I'm not sure sorry.

What about the up and coming Allulose? Is that considered a good option for Keto?

In reply to Bridgette Lepianka.

Hi Bridgette, Lankanto monk fruit sweetener is 5% monk fruit, and 95% erythritol. The erythritol is the sugar alcohol part.

Erythritol does not get absorbed by the body, which means it doesn’t affect your blood sugar levels, and therefore has 0 effect on blood sugar level increases.

The ONLY sugar alcohols that do not spike blood sugar levels are erythritol and glycerine. All the other sugar alcohols have some effect (xylitol has a GI value of 30 for example)

A broad statement that all sugar alcohols count has half is ridiculous. They are trying to generalise.

I am seeing mixed opinions from otherwise credible sources. I recently heard that if a product boasts the sugar alcohol content, ie: 4 g per serving, the consumer can remove all of that number from the carbs or 1/2 half of that number from the carbs. This is significant if true. What is your opinion or education tell you about this? Is it all, 1/2 half or it should not be considered?

The product I am referring to is: Lakano Monkfruit Sweetner Classic stating 4 carbs per teaspoon but then states 4 g sugar alcohol.

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In reply to Laure. I'd use Swerve, or So Nourished.

The trick is to figure out the ratio of monkfruit to erythritol, or any other sweetener to the other when mixing, and also to know which ones to use when baking vs. cooking. Some are heat sensitive and don’t do well heated, etc.
