    Allulose is legal there unlike Australia…it’s got zero aftertaste and is actually great for diabetes, insulin resistance etc. for gods sake America if you can buy it buy it! Though it’s expensive.

    Thank you so for all your hard work and help. I have healthily lost 25 pounds since last September 2019. I look and feel great so much so that my coworkers have asked my secret. I tell them that my secret is you and Thomas DeLauer. I encourage everyone to watch both of gentlemen as much as possible. Thank you again, Misty ❤️

    Idk there have been many articles warning against Erythritol. Splenda makes a liquid monk fruit sweetener without erythritol and Pyure makes a stevia sweetener without erythritol. Both can be found at Walmart. Personally I like the taste of 50/50 stevia and monk fruit in foods and drinks that I need sweetened and opt out of sweeteners that contain erythritol.

    Stevia is so easy to grow, just pick the leaves and steep in hot water, I grew it, and it grew about 3-4 ft tall and resembled basil, king of bushy. This yr I’m using a container to grow it. Last time I had 6 plants, 😄 a lot!

    You are amazing and so is your channel .

    I have been adding Monk fruit to my tea along with liquid stevia (I like my tea sweet!). I didn't notice before, but it has 8 grams of carbs per serving. It is coming from a fruit. Even though it is natural I believe that it is not zero calories. Also, I learned that it would not be good for diabetics to use in place of sugar. There is a video on TH-cam with an Asian doctor who explains this.

    • @ea2620

      I think you are right… my sister was using Monk fruit because she is diabetic… thinking is healthy…she got a big surprise when she did her regular check up(blood test)…her sugar levels where sooo high… she was confused because she was eating healthy and properly… she figure it out it was the Monk fruit…. the next blood test she did in 3 months after ,after stopping Monk fruit came back normal.

    Another great video Bobby, I'm a casual watcher of your channel. Thank you for pointing out again that you really have to read the ingredients to know what you're getting. Companies adding ingredients to health food that significantly reduces the health benefits of them (maltodextrin to stevia for example), misleading individuals into making purchases they think will help improve their health for its benefits when actually makes it worse; this behavior the greater food industry has is disgusting. It's up to us to be vigilant and support companies that make great product.

    Great info to explain the maze of sweeteners. I've always avoided all of them, but have been baking for my Keto friend and it doesn't hurt for me to cut down in my own baking. My friend likes Swereve the best. She finds Stevia has a weird & bitter aftertaste) I especially liked your 'warning' about 'natural flavours'. I think it might be the same in the US, but 'natural' means absolutely nothing in Canada - in other words there is no regulation for something to be 'natural'. Thanks for posting!

    Xylitol is a 1 on the glycemic index, sugar is 100 on the glycemic index, highly recommended by dentists for oral health and prevents cavities. Xylitol is also good for your gut, it feeds the good flora in your gut. Xylitol in large quantity can cause diarrhea. I highly recommend it. Birch xylitol is the only one I use, it's sweet with no after taste, it looks and tastes just like sugar and it cooks and bakes like sugar. Doesn't spike sugar, good for keto, all in all, a very sweet deal.

    Bobby. Brother. Thank you so much for your advice to give coconut sugar and monk fruit a try. I'm lucky to have a nice Sprouts nearby. I bought a bag of both of these and they're very good. I'm never looking back to high calorie high glycemic index sweeteners. It's an easy hack to cut quite a bit of sugar and inflammation out of your diet. I can even see people who are otherwise not that committed to changing their diet doing this. We love the videos and your positive attitude.

    I’m a huge fan of Bobby. I’ve lost 45 lbs doing a low carb clean keto diet in the last 6 months. So I’ve taken a lot of info away from his channel. However I have to say, I think he gets everyone a bit too hysterical with the natural flavors. I agree it is chemicals in food and should be something you want to try and avoid. But if you want to eat a treat every once in awhile and it has natural flavors in it, guess what, you’re gonna be just fine. I did a little research, and as far as I can see there’s been no documented deaths in this country caused by natural flavors. My preworkout drink has it, and I love the extra energy it gives me. I get such a better workout with it. So while I love and appreciate the knowledge that Bobby drops here, he needs to roll it back with the natural flavor paranoia.

    I agree with just about everything you post, but I just can't get behind this one. Stevia and monkfruit seem the least processed, but Erythritol is very refined and highly processed, no? I don't understand how something man-made can possibly be healthier than naturally made products, i.e. honey or maple syrup. Have had no issues maintaining good health and weight using whole foods as sweetners such as these. Of course, moderation is everything!

      @@NR-nf1il every sugar alcohol on the market is highly refined even if it comes from a natural source (i.e. Burch trees).. I'm always surprised Bobby supports them considering how much he is against natural flavoring. I don't see much of a difference. I spend a lot of time/money getting highly processed stuff out of my families diet, but yet I'm to believe that these options are optimal for health compared for maple syrup or honey, which are more whole foods than erythritol ever could be. Also, like he mentions, these can be very disruptive to your gut health if too much is consumed. I think sugar alcohols have given many people an excuse to eat more junk. Additionally, these don't fully break down in the gut suggesting that there is likely fermentation of undigested sugar alcohols in the gut which may not feed bad bacteria, but has the potential to exacerbate yeast problems. I just think he and many other people on this bandwagon got it wrong. At least for my family we avoid these like we would any other zero calorie sweeteners or any other highly processed junk food.

    Unfortunately, for diabetics who are on a low carb plan, or those who have fatty liver disease, none of the "low sugar" drinks and ice creams or snack bars are an option except perhaps on rare occasions as a rare treat, because they still contain well above the total carb content that can be consumed for blood sugar stability. This is especially true if you're trying to reverse T2 diabetes or fatty liver. There's just no getting around the carbs, except to consume them as whole foods in non-starchy, vegetable form.
