Another good video. Bobby Please be aware that the two sugar substitutes that you recommend do have erythritol in them. As you know they are a sugar alcohol and can cause GI issues with some people. Do you recommend or know any pure monk fruit brands that have no other ingredients? Once again you're doing a great job!
Thanks for a great video. Just pointing out that your favorite monk fruit sweeteners are mostly erythritol. I recommend liquid stevia and monk fruit sweeteners for Keto friendly. Alot of baking recepies do well with erythritol. Also xylitol is toxic to dogs, so watch out for that. If Fido grabs a cookie that was made with Xylitol it could be very harmful. Thanks again. Love the channel.
Great video! There is a sweetener made by Whole Earth Sweetener Co that is stevia and monk fruit combined. On closer examination I read it has erythritol, fructose and chicory root in it too. What do you think?
@@josephrattien3176 hey buddy! yes, they have that bc they are a blend..str8 up monk fruit is way to sweet..bt you can easily find it online!! just cant use 1:1 ;)
I'm 65 years old and just learning about all this. I really thank you for your videos. It's making a difference in my life. I am not keto and not going keto, but am eating a lot better thanks to you. And learning all the time. Thank you!
I'm confused. Please answer. You say the best is MonkFruit but it's number one ingredient is Erythritol. You then say to stay away from Erythritol. So which is it? lol
@@noreenn6976 After spending 3 months healing my gut I tried the "alternative" sugar monk fruit, no matter what brand Lakanto encluded, it messed up with my gut. So when Bobby talked about how sugar feeds cancer/diabetes he's 100% correct. And I'm thankful he stated that. I'm staying away all together I love my healthy gut. No thank you any sugar event the fack stuff. :)
Fructose is poison in large quantities (to the liver). Sucrose is 50 pct fructose by weight. So for the NON DIABETIC any sweetener without fructose is preferable to a sweetener with fructose.
John Colby yes the body can’t really digest coconut palm sugar as many think they are good fructose does really turn your liver into fatty and causes issue with pancreas.
Learning so much from your videos! I even got my husband watching your videos so he can buy us good chicken and eggs 😂 can you do a video with flours (coconut, all purpose gluten free or almond)?
Most of us do not have a Whole Foods. To be frank, after they lied about promising to go GMO free, I wouldn't shop there if they paid me. Sellouts. Most of us cannot afford them either.
Thank you Bobby for reminding us the fake honey from China, personally I will not trust any products made from China because I know how they make the cheap products without any quality control standard . So far, stevia & monk fruit sweetness are my favorites !
I have just watched from a serious source a documentary about the "Stevia Scam" in all sweeteners world wide. They claim made from Stevia, but the stevia content is ridiculous low. Most content are made of fillers than are not so healthy. That is the high potency of stevia as a sweetener. The issue here are the fillers the industry use to pack the stevia. I am wondering if it's not the same situation with Monk sweetener. Coconut and Date sweeteners seems to be best choice. Thanks Mr. Parrish
The whole Erythritol answer brings his credibility to less than 10 out of 100. Eat a well balanced diet with good foods and get some exercise and sleep
Such a BIG Fan of your channel, I have learned so much every video is educational for a healthier life style, love how you shop at different stores and search for the best deals! Keep those videos coming THANKSS your videos are helping many!! Viewing from Texas! 😊🙏
I use raw honey, Maple syrup, and panela. The brand that I use is Just Panela. I have only found it in Whole Foods and of course on Amazon. I don't use as much as you would think because it has a strong smell and flavor. Many describe it as caramel or butterscotch.
Bobby: Can you explain what you mean when it comes to Erythritol ? Because you do not recommend it (3:13) but then it is in the Monk Fruit blend sweetener that you DO recommend (1:51)...? I recently was looking to purchase a bag of monk fruit sweetener on Amazon but noticed that it included an ingredient called Erythritol and didn't buy it because I don't know what it actually is. And your video here is contradicting ... is it good ? or is it bad? Thank you for your time.
I'm wondering this, too. My dad has diabetes and digestion issues, such as gas. I'm trying to get him things like low carb ice cream, but it has maltitol, and a lot of the other keto things have erythritol. His doctor actually suggested he eat cane sugar to help with the digestion problems. It's hard to know what is the best option.
My wife has perfected a mixture of allulose and monk fruit. It's tricky to get the mix right, but she's nailed it. She even makes an icing for her lemon pound cake that is made with 100% allulose and 100% fresh squeezed meyer lemon juice. She makes one for family gatherings for me ( gluten free ) and it is gone inside of 10 minutes. Everyone loves it.
I adore Swerve! I have used it since it was put in the market, absolutely NO problems with it at all of course it’s got the mystery natural flavors in there but I love the way it tastes and bakes
PSA: based on recent research, don't use Swerve (erythritol) anymore. More research needs to be done, but the initial findings are robust enough to suggest a significant increase in myocardial events in both healthy and non-healthy populations.
Wow. I always thought I was doing a good thing using sucralose, and the Walmart brand is cheaper than Splenda.😖 I'm leaving it alone now. Thanks for posting this.
Splenda is great for killing ants. Once we found out we tried it when we saw a group of them in are house and it was a slow death for them 😳. Needless to say we didn't use Splenda after that and we had a big Costco box of them left. 🤣
I use pure Stevia for my keto mug cakes and monk fruit stevia blend in my coffee. Erythritol for actual baking. I've gotten used to it but it definitely starts to upset my stomach if taken too much.
A few things at Costo - Week of June 20 . Kirkland, the Costco brand, has a 95% grass-fed butter from New Zealand, two pounds for $9.99. Your beloved Peptides are on sale for $23.99. Also, comparing various bone broth, Kirkland has 192 oz.( 12 pounds ) of organic chicken broth for $16.99, colored with turmeric and full of organic vegetables and herbs, way less than anyone else's. Also, chicken bone broth is higher in some amino acids than beef broth, including potassium, and the lesser amount of collagen is negligible - 1g less for 8oz. of broth. And, finally, I'd like to let you know that the New Orleans, La, Costco carries the 100% grass-fed beef patties in the freezer, for $19.99, just under $4.00 a pound. Thanks, Bobby. I'm learning a lot ! I hope this helps someone...
Loved all this knowledge. So confusing to know what is okay and what to avoid . I've been staying away from granulated white sugar and using bananas instead for some of my baking. Thanks for explaining all these options 😊❤❤
The Whole Earth brand packets are mostly erythritol with some chickory root. But no dextrose or dextrin. I use them in coffee. Appears that I have no or very little glycemic reaction.
I do a lot of diabetes education and have been researching a lot on Keto specifically on sweeteners. I didn’t hear Allulose mentioned. Allulose is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruits like figs, etc. The structure of Allulose resembles fructose but due to some slight differences Allulose is not utilized by the body and mostly excreted by the kidneys. It has no impact on blood sugars and some early studies have even shown a positive effect on blood glucose levels. Allulose has shown no impact on the gut biome unlike some other sweeteners so little if any negative GI effects. It’s not as sweet as sugar but it’s taste is pretty good no bitter aftertaste and definitely on the pleasant side;. It’s worth looking into.
I can’t believe le this I just got diagnosed with pre diabetes I quit sugar immediately but unhappy cuz everything tastes horrible without it anyway thanks for this info never even heard of it before
After reading the reviews, the monk fruit sweetener contains mostly erythritol. There's a reason they don't put the %. It's a marketing scam and very deceiving. Why pay a premium for a sweetener that contains mostly erythritol
I’m not doing any special diet but I just love you & all the information you have taught me! I taught cooking classes when I was younger, milled my own wheat & made everything from scratch but this is a different era & there is so much to be careful about. Thank-you for educating us on so many products! I have changed many things in my diet & will continue to do so. Even at 66 we can improve our lives with our diets. Please do a “haul” of good & bad items to buy at Sam’s Club. I have loved all your grocery store hauls but several of the stores we don’t have out in Arizona. So I would appreciate your take on Sam’s Club. Oh, I also want to say I am going to order your cookbook. I have been trying many of your recipes and just love them! Thank-you again to you and your wife and friends for all your help!
Monk fruit is my favorite, it is pretty on point as far as taste and it’s cup for cup ratio is perfect for baking, for anything keto. I cannot stand xylitol, it does horrible things to my tummy. Health garden, makes the best Monk fruit, got it at Amazon 3 pounds for $21.99
High fructose corn syrup is probably the biggest trigger for my gout and it's in everything. I tried switching to diet drinks, but then I learned how bad aspartame is. So this video is very helpful, thank you.
I love your channel! I cannot say enough good things about it. I have recommended you to all my friends and family. Thank you for the excellent content 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video. Watching your videos is quicky becoming part of my Saturday morning routine Bobby. Once again I have information I can take immediately into my everyday life. Thank you!
Great video! I've also heard that there's a chemical process used to get the nectar from the agave plant that is not good, in addition to its higher glycemic index.
I just recently discovered your channel. I wondered if we had Monkfruit in Australia and we do! Getting it delivered this afternoon! I can't sugar not because diabetes but for another reason. So very happy to try this!
COOL, so many sweeteners out there and many thanks Bobby for pointing out the dos and don'ts on what to buy and not to buy but.....there is one sweetener you didn't mention, or is it because its not that popular and the sweetener is Sorghum. A friend in rural North Carolina loves the stuff and is the only sweetener he uses, not sure if he got it from some Amish folks or some rural coop.
very good video Bobby. Best advice, drink your coffee and tea without any sweetener. I stopped putting sugar in my coffee many, many years ago, don't miss it. Steer clear or limit anything with sugar in it. You won't get rid of it completely as there are lots of hidden sugar in day to day products.
Correct me please. I thought you said, on another video, that 1 gram sugar = 1 tsp sugar. That's not accurate. My conversion table says 1 gram sugar = .17 tsp. sugar. So, if coffee creme has 5 grams sugar, that equals .85 tsp. sugar, a little less than 1 tsp. Thanks.
Ive recently come across Allulose in some videos. Would like to hear more on this. Originally the hierarchy of healthy alternatives was Stevia and Monkfruit at the top followed closely by Erythritol which is my personal favorite because its not bitter. However Allulose seems to be even better. Anyone have any input?
My wife has perfected a mixture of allulose and monk fruit. It's tricky to get the mix right, but she's nailed it. She even makes an icing for her lemon pound cake that is made with 100% allulose and 100% fresh squeezed meyer lemon juice. She makes one for family gatherings for me ( gluten free ) and it is gone inside of 10 minutes. Everyone loves it. She does a mix because the bulk of the allulose makes it a perfect substitute for baking, but it is only about 70% as sweet as sugar. The monk fruit bumps the sweetness. And you only need a teeny tiny bit of monk fruit because it is 150 to 200 times sweeter than sugar. The combination is the perfect replacement for sugar in baking.
Sup Bobby! I'm surprised about your Swerve review. I love Swerve. I don't notice any aftertaste or cooling effect with it. I also use the stevia maple syrup on my pancakes and waffles. I guess it depends on your taste buds.
Great vid Bobby, lots of info. Could u do a vid on low sodium stuff like cans of chili and tuna and other products like bacon. U guys r the best. I can't believe the Food Channel has not found u guys yet.
Erythritol all the way for me👍🏻I like the flavor and it doesn’t spike my blood sugar like other substitutes. There’s even a “brown sugar” erythritol that tastes great as well. It’s never caused me or my husband any digestion issues like the other sugar alcohols. Monkfruit and stevia would be a great choice if they weren’t so bitter. Edit: wrote my comment before I saw that you showed the Sukrin Gold. Seriously that stuff is worth the high price👍🏻
Agree with you Sally, have been using Erythritol for about 6 months now and its definitely the best .... I think its also personal choice - it does not leave any aftertaste to me and I am really sensitive to all the others from a taste point of view ...Go try Erythritol!
This is great information. I can’t think of anywhere else you would get the kind of information you need to eat healthy and want to buy at the grocery store so you are providing a desperately needed service :-) I also appreciate you mentioning the glycemic index on some items because of type two diabetes. Mostly we try to eat local I Seemic index and avoid sugar wherever possible and so this helps us to know what we can and cannot eat on our food plan. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Im so glad that there are finally so many healthier alternatives to the junk they've been selling us for years now, but I agree that it's gotten really out of hand. Best to grown & raise as much of your own food as possible & then when deciding what you need to supplement it, always ask yourself 2 questions: 1)"Did this exist as a food item in Biblical times" & 2)"If not, do I really need need it for convenience sake?"
Oh my goodness. Dont ever eat erythritol but my favorite sweetener is monkfruit where its the first ingredient meaning its chalk full of the garbage, really? SMH.
Great and informative video, thank you! I have a question about the erythritol, you said it's not a good sweetener but then recommended the Sukrin Gold which has is, so I was curious why that is? Trying to make some better, more sustainable food choice for me and my family and your videos are so incredibly helpful, thanks for all the work you and your family and team to to help educate us in so many different ways. I can't wait to try the brownies - YUM!
Yes, Truvia! I love the taste and consistency (most similar to cane) of it and am interested to know more. I wish they sold it in larger quantities for baking.
Little late but Truvia has natural flavors in it. I’ve watched a few of his videos and he goes over that. It’s sneaky they’d add it in but if you don’t mind natural flavors I’d say it’s okay to have
Thanks, God to you to keep us informed, thank you for keeping us healthier...... God bless you and your family..... good luck with everything you do .....☺️💝🌻
Very informative! I love watching your videos for all this helpful info. Could you do a video on different types of milk ( organic/grass fed)? I’d love to hear your insight! Thanks!
Bobby, you are the best TH-camr I have subscribed! Thanks for letting us know so much about the food. I had never known Whole Foods carries so much good stuff! Finally what to buy. Can’t thank you enough!
Pure is the best in any case in my opinion but I'm no expert. It's just more authentic (and expensive) than the bulk artificial ones. But it is usually used in small portions whichever way you go, so I feel like if you do bulk baking, using artificial might be more cost effective. But if you bake every now and then, pure vanilla would be a safe bet
I get this Stevia and Erythritol blend from Walmart called "Pyure" it comes in a purple and white bag and its organic. I tried monk fruit but to me it has like this terrible aftertaste and has the aroma of motor oil for some reason. It was that red bag one. Ill try it again but its crazy expensive. Besides the cooling effect the erythritol its still decent with a blend and still doesnt affect your blood sugar or cause any GI issues, correct?
It's a sugar alcohol so yes it can cause some GI issues I also use Pyure and I buy the Great Value stevia packets those are also a stevia and erythritol blend. I prefer the taste of the blends. I can't do just stevia or erythritol by themselves
@@noreenn6976 I've tried all the stevia types and the aftertaste, yuk. Have you heard about fermented garlic made with garlic cloves and raw honey? Great for immediate immune system boosting, so I've heard. Mine needs a forklift.
@@noreenn6976 I got the burpless lids off ebay as $3 cheaper than Amazon and after having homemade kefir shoot into my eye, nose and onto the ceiling, am not taking any chances. Trying to treat high blood pressure and cannot eat raw garlic. Makes me cry it burns so bad. Here is recipe. th-cam.com/video/1CUBEGV1F18/w-d-xo.html
OK dear Bobbi! I have watched several of your videos now about sweetener and ingredients in various products and you still have not covered acesulfame potassium. In my opinion, it’s worse if that’s possible, than aspartame. They both can cause a host of health problems and I avoid these in all artificial sweeteners and a few others like the proverbial plague, along with corn syrup. So glad to know that aggravate is made with fructose. I did not know that you did not understand how I could be reacting to something a lot of people tout as wonderful. Thank you for the information. As always you are on it and I appreciate you.
My throat felt like it was swelling inside after having monk fruit/erythritol blend. I googled how it’s made and it’s got 3 things I don’t do well with. I copied and pasted off the page … “In large-scale production, erythritol is created when a type of yeast ferments glucose from corn or wheat starch. The final product looks like powdery white crystals.”
I really wish you would talk about brown rice syrup. It's supposed to be great for diabetics to use. Thank u keep up the great videos, I'm learning a lot.
Hey Bobby! First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! To the additional member to your family. I have seen your video sharing your journey to get pregnant. It wasn't easy and a lot happen in between. I have been following your videos and delicious recipes. My fiance and I has been shedding weights for the pass 4 months since we started, and we are very grateful for the great improvements that we both have. However, I have reached my goal or weight class ideal for me and now I can't stop losing more if I want to...Do you have any suggestions what I should do to maintain it and not lose anymore weight? Thank you so much.
Thanks Bobby and Art! I really appreciate all of your reviews and recipes. Changing the way we view healthy eating which tastes awesome. Loved all but especially the ketchup and BBQ sauce. I hope everyone will appreciate the time and effort you three put into this and will at the very least purchase their cookbook to help sustain these great videos, recipes and their. Ew family! Cheers
Yep, My mom is a diabetic. Over the past 6 months, I've never talked so much about gut, sugar/sugar free in my whole entire life. Sugar intake is a big deal.
The Dolcedi Apple Syrup used to be this beautiful caramel color and was delicious. I stopped buying when it became clear and no color. I don’t know what they are doing to make it clear and it shouldn’t be when it is just reduced apple juice.

No to coconut sugar. Little fructose but high glucose. Which is death for diabetics
John Colby is the glucose higher than cane sugar?
@@Mariakayc yes because sucrose (cane sugar) is half fructose. Diabetics REQUIRE very low carbs. Glucose is a carb

It has no impact on blood sugars and some early studies have even shown a positive effect on blood glucose levels. Allulose has shown no impact on the gut biome unlike some other sweeteners so little if any negative GI effects. It’s not as sweet as sugar but it’s taste is pretty good no bitter aftertaste and definitely on the pleasant side;. It’s worth looking into.
I can’t believe le this I just got diagnosed with pre diabetes I quit sugar immediately but unhappy cuz everything tastes horrible without it anyway thanks for this info never even heard of it before
Can you please do a video about coffee? The best ones to use
Are you in my head? I was just wondering about this early this morning while making my breakfast- so helpful!!
I love that Dolcedi Apple Sweetener there is no bitter aftertaste at all. I find most sugar substitutes have a funny taste.
I was a little surprised you didn’t even mention trivia , please tell me your opinion on that thanks !
Sandra Gallagher yes, I was thinking the same thing 🤔
After reading the reviews, the monk fruit sweetener contains mostly erythritol. There's a reason they don't put the %. It's a marketing scam and very deceiving. Why pay a premium for a sweetener that contains mostly erythritol
Thanks for pointing that out I was going to whole foods to buy that I'll stick to the organic coconut sugar.
The liquid does not contain erythritol
Sorry, I'm referring to the liquid Lakanto
I agree not to mention the BLOATING
Isn't erythritol really bad for your gut? Doesn't it cause severe cramping and diarrhea?
I’m not doing any special diet but I just love you & all the information you have taught me! I taught cooking classes when I was younger, milled my own wheat & made everything from scratch but this is a different era & there is so much to be careful about. Thank-you for educating us on so many products! I have changed many things in my diet & will continue to do so. Even at 66 we can improve our lives with our diets. Please do a “haul” of good & bad items to buy at Sam’s Club. I have loved all your grocery store hauls but several of the stores we don’t have out in Arizona. So I would appreciate your take on Sam’s Club. Oh, I also want to say I am going to order your cookbook. I have been trying many of your recipes and just love them! Thank-you again to you and your wife and friends for all your help!
You should watch some videos from How To Cook That. She's an actual scientist and debunking most of the bs this guy is trying to tell you
Monk fruit is my favorite, it is pretty on point as far as taste and it’s cup for cup ratio is perfect for baking, for anything keto. I cannot stand xylitol, it does horrible things to my tummy. Health garden, makes the best Monk fruit, got it at Amazon 3 pounds for $21.99
High fructose corn syrup is probably the biggest trigger for my gout and it's in everything. I tried switching to diet drinks, but then I learned how bad aspartame is. So this video is very helpful, thank you.
Dr. Berg talked about Erythritol. It's fin and much cheaper than monke, just go NON-GMO and it's perfect.
Thank you very much:) you are the best👍🏽 I use a lot of white sugar and I have to stop 🛑
Happy Thanksgiving beautiful family. ❤
What would be the best sugar to add into your coffee? I would like to carry with me to use when I get coffee in the morning?
Thanks Bobby and your team for the info.
Why did you like Erythritol in the Monk Fruit blend, but yet you said later that you did not like using Erythritol because your body cannot process?
I bet you he doesnt answer this. Great question.
This is irresponsible behavior from him when we believe what he recommends, and he doesn’t care to clarify doubts 🤨
because this guy is a clueless idiot...
I really appreciate that u mention whether or not it is keto friendly!
What is your thought about Allulose? I think this is the sugar used in Quest bars now. Thanks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video.
Watching your videos is quicky becoming part of my Saturday morning routine Bobby. Once again I have information I can take immediately into my everyday life. Thank you!

@@EinfachFredhaftGaming scientist and doctors told us the jab is safe and effective. Those titles don't impress me.
Love alll the videos...I'm obsessed so helpful making mom life so much better
I have a question about Monk Fruit compared to Whole Earth “Stevia and Monk fruit blend”. Which is better.
th-cam.com/video/kcnGmKi3xms/w-d-xo.html
Great video! I've also heard that there's a chemical process used to get the nectar from the agave plant that is not good, in addition to its higher glycemic index.
I just recently discovered your channel. I wondered if we had Monkfruit in Australia and we do! Getting it delivered this afternoon! I can't sugar not because diabetes but for another reason. So very happy to try this!
COOL, so many sweeteners out there and many thanks Bobby for pointing out the dos and don'ts on what to buy and not to buy but.....there is one sweetener you didn't mention, or is it because its not that popular and the sweetener is Sorghum. A friend in rural North Carolina loves the stuff and is the only sweetener he uses, not sure if he got it from some Amish folks or some rural coop.
very good video Bobby. Best advice, drink your coffee and tea without any sweetener. I stopped putting sugar in my coffee many, many years ago, don't miss it. Steer clear or limit anything with sugar in it. You won't get rid of it completely as there are lots of hidden sugar in day to day products.
Correct me please. I thought you said, on another video, that 1 gram sugar = 1 tsp sugar. That's not accurate. My conversion table says 1 gram sugar = .17 tsp. sugar. So, if coffee creme has 5 grams sugar, that equals .85 tsp. sugar, a little less than 1 tsp. Thanks.
Great video you are educating the public hats off to you ...
Great tips! Bad Coffee or good coffee? Any good creamers out there? Do you recommend any good tea's? Splenda, a no more for me! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks !!!! I’ve been sooooo confused on sugars because of my cancer!!! Big big hug to you and your wife oh and that camera man!!! 😋👍🤗🤗🤗
Ive recently come across Allulose in some videos. Would like to hear more on this. Originally the hierarchy of healthy alternatives was Stevia and Monkfruit at the top followed closely by Erythritol which is my personal favorite because its not bitter. However Allulose seems to be even better. Anyone have any input?
My wife has perfected a mixture of allulose and monk fruit. It's tricky to get the mix right, but she's nailed it. She even makes an icing for her lemon pound cake that is made with 100% allulose and 100% fresh squeezed meyer lemon juice. She makes one for family gatherings for me ( gluten free ) and it is gone inside of 10 minutes. Everyone loves it. She does a mix because the bulk of the allulose makes it a perfect substitute for baking, but it is only about 70% as sweet as sugar. The monk fruit bumps the sweetness. And you only need a teeny tiny bit of monk fruit because it is 150 to 200 times sweeter than sugar. The combination is the perfect replacement for sugar in baking.
hey thank you for focusing the camera on. the products so we can read the name of the products really helps
Sup Bobby! I'm surprised about your Swerve review. I love Swerve. I don't notice any aftertaste or cooling effect with it. I also use the stevia maple syrup on my pancakes and waffles. I guess it depends on your taste buds.
Great vid Bobby, lots of info. Could u do a vid on low sodium stuff like cans of chili and tuna and other products like bacon. U guys r the best. I can't believe the Food Channel has not found u guys yet.
I’m going to make that biscotti ASAP! Thank you Dessi! Also, I make my own brown sugar with monk fruit or pyure and just a smidge of molasses.
Great idea, I will do that too 🙌🏻
Erythritol all the way for me👍🏻I like the flavor and it doesn’t spike my blood sugar like other substitutes. There’s even a “brown sugar” erythritol that tastes great as well. It’s never caused me or my husband any digestion issues like the other sugar alcohols. Monkfruit and stevia would be a great choice if they weren’t so bitter.
Edit: wrote my comment before I saw that you showed the Sukrin Gold. Seriously that stuff is worth the high price👍🏻
👍🏼
Agree with you Sally, have been using Erythritol for about 6 months now and its definitely the best .... I think its also personal choice - it does not leave any aftertaste to me and I am really sensitive to all the others from a taste point of view ...Go try Erythritol!
This is great information. I can’t think of anywhere else you would get the kind of information you need to eat healthy and want to buy at the grocery store so you are providing a desperately needed service :-)
I also appreciate you mentioning the glycemic index on some items because of type two diabetes. Mostly we try to eat local I Seemic index and avoid sugar wherever possible and so this helps us to know what we can and cannot eat on our food plan. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
How did we get here in life? Now I understand why some people go to 7-Eleven or am-pm to do their grocery shopping, there aren't that many choices!
Im so glad that there are finally so many healthier alternatives to the junk they've been selling us for years now, but I agree that it's gotten really out of hand. Best to grown & raise as much of your own food as possible & then when deciding what you need to supplement it, always ask yourself 2 questions: 1)"Did this exist as a food item in Biblical times" & 2)"If not, do I really need need it for convenience sake?"
Thank you for all your content! Also I LOVE the music in this grocery store. :)
FlavCity with Bobby can you recommend a creamer for coffee please
milkadamia creamer unsweetened vanilla is very good. 0 carbs and 0 sugar
Christopher Nasca Thank You ... I’ll try it
I've been using Nut Pods creamer lately in the Hazelnut flavor. My local grocery carries it and I saw it at Walmart.
Jax T thank you ... I’ll look it up and see
How about raw milk cream, dumbass.
Congrats on 500k subscribers Team Flavcity.
Hi Bobby and Desi, love your videos, LOVE your recipes! Always great taste never disappointed. Thankyou
Great video! What do you think about Truvia? Is Truvia keto friendly? Thank you
Catalina, I was wondering the same thing. Thought it was same as stevia 🤔
Contains erythritol
Good to know🙏am a fan! I was over 450..close to 500..now 200...thank you for your information!
What about stevia that has dextrose as the first ingredient? Avoid or?
I agree. The brand ‘Stevia in the Raw’ has dextrose as it’s first ingredient, followed by stevia.
Share! Share! Share! Mad loving this info! Thx for the translation 😱🤗👍
Oh my goodness. Dont ever eat erythritol but my favorite sweetener is monkfruit where its the first ingredient meaning its chalk full of the garbage, really? SMH.
Great and informative video, thank you! I have a question about the erythritol, you said it's not a good sweetener but then recommended the Sukrin Gold which has is, so I was curious why that is? Trying to make some better, more sustainable food choice for me and my family and your videos are so incredibly helpful, thanks for all the work you and your family and team to to help educate us in so many different ways. I can't wait to try the brownies - YUM!
What about truvia you were just there please let me know if it is ok to have
Yes, Truvia! I love the taste and consistency (most similar to cane) of it and am interested to know more. I wish they sold it in larger quantities for baking.
Truvia is stevia. He went over stevia
Little late but Truvia has natural flavors in it. I’ve watched a few of his videos and he goes over that. It’s sneaky they’d add it in but if you don’t mind natural flavors I’d say it’s okay to have
Thanks, God to you to keep us informed, thank you for keeping us healthier...... God bless you and your family..... good luck with everything you do .....☺️💝🌻
You didn't talk about truvia is it ok to have
Very informative! I love watching your videos for all this helpful info. Could you do a video on different types of milk ( organic/grass fed)? I’d love to hear your insight! Thanks!
Bobby, you are the best TH-camr I have subscribed! Thanks for letting us know so much about the food. I had never known Whole Foods carries so much good stuff! Finally what to buy. Can’t thank you enough!
🙏🏻Thanks so much!
But Bobby the monk fruit sweetener you recommend has a blend of erythritol? Is that still good?
Father,wishing you and your family a very Happy Festival Season.
Do you have any Vanilla extract recommendations?
Pure is the best in any case in my opinion but I'm no expert. It's just more authentic (and expensive) than the bulk artificial ones. But it is usually used in small portions whichever way you go, so I feel like if you do bulk baking, using artificial might be more cost effective. But if you bake every now and then, pure vanilla would be a safe bet
I get this Stevia and Erythritol blend from Walmart called "Pyure" it comes in a purple and white bag and its organic. I tried monk fruit but to me it has like this terrible aftertaste and has the aroma of motor oil for some reason. It was that red bag one. Ill try it again but its crazy expensive.
Besides the cooling effect the erythritol its still decent with a blend and still doesnt affect your blood sugar or cause any GI issues, correct?
It's a sugar alcohol so yes it can cause some GI issues I also use Pyure and I buy the Great Value stevia packets those are also a stevia and erythritol blend. I prefer the taste of the blends. I can't do just stevia or erythritol by themselves
@@noreenn6976 I noticed after cutting out all sugar except honey in tea, that raw veggies started tasting much sweeter. You?
@@noreenn6976 I've tried all the stevia types and the aftertaste, yuk. Have you heard about fermented garlic made with garlic cloves and raw honey? Great for immediate immune system boosting, so I've heard. Mine needs a forklift.
@@noreenn6976 I got the burpless lids off ebay as $3 cheaper than Amazon and after having homemade kefir shoot into my eye, nose and onto the ceiling, am not taking any chances. Trying to treat high blood pressure and cannot eat raw garlic. Makes me cry it burns so bad. Here is recipe. th-cam.com/video/1CUBEGV1F18/w-d-xo.html
@@noreenn6976 Me too. The thought of the jar quietly belching garlic fumes in the cupboard is gross but am beyond caring, lol.
OK dear Bobbi! I have watched several of your videos now about sweetener and ingredients in various products and you still have not covered acesulfame potassium. In my opinion, it’s worse if that’s possible, than aspartame. They both can cause a host of health problems and I avoid these in all artificial sweeteners and a few others like the proverbial plague, along with corn syrup. So glad to know that aggravate is made with fructose. I did not know that you did not understand how I could be reacting to something a lot of people tout as wonderful. Thank you for the information. As always you are on it and I appreciate you.
My throat felt like it was swelling inside after having monk fruit/erythritol blend. I googled how it’s made and it’s got 3 things I don’t do well with. I copied and pasted off the page … “In large-scale production, erythritol is created when a type of yeast ferments glucose from corn or wheat starch. The final product looks like powdery white crystals.”
Love to wake up to an informational vid from you Bobby, every Saturday morning!!!!
I really wish you would talk about brown rice syrup. It's supposed to be great for diabetics to use. Thank u keep up the great videos, I'm learning a lot.
Hey Bobby! First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! To the additional member to your family. I have seen your video sharing your journey to get pregnant. It wasn't easy and a lot happen in between. I have been following your videos and delicious recipes. My fiance and I has been shedding weights for the pass 4 months since we started, and we are very grateful for the great improvements that we both have. However, I have reached my goal or weight class ideal for me and now I can't stop losing more if I want to...Do you have any suggestions what I should do to maintain it and not lose anymore weight? Thank you so much.
Thanks Bobby and Art! I really appreciate all of your reviews and recipes. Changing the way we view healthy eating which tastes awesome. Loved all but especially the ketchup and BBQ sauce. I hope everyone will appreciate the time and effort you three put into this and will at the very least purchase their cookbook to help sustain these great videos, recipes and their. Ew family! Cheers

Yrr awesome!! Thanks.. I appreciate you and the wife ✌
Very informative bobby i use organic coconut palm sugar USD only and i will try your recommendations
Yep, My mom is a diabetic. Over the past 6 months, I've never talked so much about gut, sugar/sugar free in my whole entire life. Sugar intake is a big deal.
The Dolcedi Apple Syrup used to be this beautiful caramel color and was delicious. I stopped buying when it became clear and no color. I don’t know what they are doing to make it clear and it shouldn’t be when it is just reduced apple juice.
Ugh to all artificial sweeteners but 👍to the liquid coconut nectar
WONDERFUL INFO!! Thank you!🤗
Ton of great information. Thank
