This was hilarious, please roast more keto foods! Maybe quest bars or keto ice cream?🤔
Wallet biopsy. Love it.
Me too. But it's more like wallet amputation.
Love that!!! Wallet biopsy!!!
It will cost you $18 to make a batch of "keto" cookies 🤣
So much for that Lakanto sponsorship! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Way ta call them OUT doc! You go..thank you!
If this medical thing doesn't work out Doc, I foresee a career in stand-up comedy....Keep up the good work!
I’d pay to see him do a comedy routine!!!
LOL!
😂😂😂
Totally agree! I am a chemist, I don't read marketing verbage.
Similar to the Kraft avacodo mayo meanwhile canola is the first ingredient.
Costco carries Chosen Avocado...only Avocado oil used
And blackcurrent juice is 95% appel juice.
Kraft Mondelez have never knowingly create a real food product, just edible non-food. They are carpet-baggers who bought Cadbury for their markets in the East and Far-East, broke all their promises regarding protecting the jobs in the UK and shipped the production overseas to Eastern Europe.
They also cheapened the recipe for the famous chocolate too and their boss, a woman called Rubenstein refused to attend a committee investigating these things by the UK government.
Exactly!
I use 100% monk fruit liquid. Expensive but takes very little. Lasts forever.
What makes me laugh is ..if I put on my website that the essential oils I add to my soaps can have an medicinal effect ....I would get slammed and fined by the FDA and yet large corporations can advertise their products and blatantly lie and never get held accountable. Awesome.
Lakanto did NOT actually "blatantly" lie. It's called MARKETING. They did put the correct info on the bag's back label. Shop with your reading glasses on your face if you need them to read the fine print. If you care what is in a product it is incumbent upon YOU to read the label. As a consumer, you have the choice to buy it - or walk away with your wallet. If you don't know the difference between net carbs and total carbs, then don't buy ANY sugar substitute until you educate yourself. It has never been easier to find facts. You don't even have to get out of an easy chair. The FDA is borderline criminal and nothing but a shill for Big Pharma and food industry lobbyists. They don't allow ANYONE (not you or a multi-million dollar corporation) to promote alternative health choices and products. The FDA is archaic, corrupt, and headed by former pharmaceutical drug executives for decades now. The American public is too busy watching NetFlix to care.
I guess I'll start marketing beef tallow as negative calories, with the equation:
air - fat = total calories.
@@Mary.Mercedes people like you are the problem. You enable false marketing and blame the consumer. Being economical with the truth equates to lying and if you cannot understand that...then nobody can help you.
Bravo for sticking up for a corporation 👌👏
@@Unsensitive I think you should. Large corporations get away with it as it's "marketing" so why can't you? Don't worry...being economical with the truth isn't lying and if the consumer doesn't read the small print...it's all their fault 🤔🤦
@the lazy carnivore I think you might have an English language comprehension problem. I don’t have the power to “enable false marketing” nor did I even faintly “blame the consumer.” Caveat Emptor is word to the wise. THAT is just the way life works. And, yes, thank God for corporations and capitalism. Some corporations are great. Some are truly evil. But, flawed as they are, they give YOU, my friend, the ability to live a privileged life in the greatest country in the world. Of course, being illogical and unable to understand nuance is your right also. Bravo indeed.
I love your wicked sense of humor! This video was not only informative but entertaining as well!
The same Advertising trickery is used on Commercial Mayo, indicating it is Olive Oil Mayo, when the majority of the oil used is hazardous, inflammatory seed oils.
But "monk fruit" sounds super natural and peaceful. It can't be bad!
Similar to "Vegetable oils." What's not to love about vegetables? Some of the most powerful false advertising in food to date.
Read the title and burst out laughing when I reached 'chi'. My head could already hear Dr. C's tone and knew he was about to kick someone's devious a**. 😭🔥
My body rejected all of those sweeteners. And that's a good thing.
First thing I learned when starting keto was read all alll alll labels and ingredients. Also i always check my blood sugar after every new product i try certain ingredients together will raise my blood. sugar. Luckily for me i have been using that product and my blood sugar won't go up. But stevia will raise my sugar level.
Thats why we always have to check ✔ and check.
Thank you for ur comment .♥️
Actually as a type 2 diabetic on keto for almost 2 years, I never saw my blood glucose rises after erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia consumption. I am testing from blood, not CGM.
HbA1C = 4.7
Me either
Mine does not go up from it either
The problem would be if it raises insulin--currently, no home test available for insulin level.
Thanks, I wondered. I use this in baking, when I do bake and I actually bake more on keto than I did when we ate low fat high carb. But at that time I never factored potatoes, rice, bread and pasta as a glucose. Meanwhile, if a recipe calls for more than 1/4 cup, I don’t make it. Boy, he’s salty in this video.
@@karend.9218 ...yeah...a bit too arrogant for my taste on this one.
Here's a name for some of the products sold under "Keto friendly" (and please excuse the off-color nature of this comment): I found that some ingredient in "Keto Fat Bombs" make them "Keto Fart Bombs" for me. Though I do use Lakanto products (already knowing exactly what you've pointed out here) because, well, I like it, it doesn't cause that problem, and I don't use too much of it. (And yes, I stopped buying the fart bombs, only tried them out as a convenient snack for when I'm out hiking... my son (who has to sleep in a tent with me) forbids me to buy any more.)
Can you please do a video on how sweeteners such as stevia , monk fruits etc.. affects blood sugar and glucose.
Your AWSOME!! Thank you for caring enough to tell us the truth!! There is no one out there like you!! Love you!!
Erythritol makes me break out in hives, stevia gives me headaches and sugar alcohols bloat my gut. Tried them all before I threw in the towel. No more powders (flours or sweeteners) for me. My whole foods taste amazing and my weight dropped then stabilized. I call that a solid victory.
CONGRATS!!!
I will “follow your lead”!!!
I use 100% pure sucralose in powder form taste good and no side effects
Makes it seem “wholesome and nutritious” but it just keeps us trapped in sweetness addiction. Thanks Dr Cywes !
About that Costco roast chicken. You might want to look at that label, too. I'm willing to bet it's far worse for you than Lakanto.
PS: Chicken, Water, Salt, Sodium Phosphate, Modified Food Starch (Potato & Tapioca), Potato Dextrin, Carrageenan, Sugar, Dextrose, Spice Extractives.
This ingredient list changes depending on where and when you buy it. Other ingredients are polysorbate 80, "natural flavors," silicon dioxide, sodium tripolyphosphate…at least it has chicken in it. 🙃
I agree. I stopped eating the affordable Costco rotisserie chicken with the delicious additives.
My Lakanto bought in Canada says Lakanto Sweetener Erythritol Monk Fruit Blend which it absolutely is. Obviously nobody would use a cup of the stuff unless they were replacing sugar in a recipe.
I love how straight you talk!
Funny, I have some of this in my kitchen and just checked the labeling. Good call Dr. Cywes.
Im a Marketing graduate. Never worked a day in the industry because i soon realised that i had studied " Exaggeration and Deception", NOT Marketing and Sales Management.....
Sounds like what they teach in medical school--write a script to patch 'em up and ship 'em out as quickly as possible, don't need to cure.
I was planning on buying this brand not aware that it contained Erythritol. I had a very bad allergic reaction to Erythritol earlier and wasn't aware that this product had it. I'm glad I went back to raw honey which doesn't spike my blood sugar. Everything in moderation. Thanks for the important info.
Thank You 😊
I purchased a ten dollar bag of it and never used it. The keto online communities suggested it when I started keto but when I took it home I saw how much carb is really in it.
I love it and find it's the best tasting sugar substitute.
It should still have a lower glycemic hit than sugar though, for those times when you've just got to sweeten something
Doc, I can ALWAYS count on you to tell it like it “T”, “I”, is! 👏🏽
ABSOLUTELY LOVE your style! Tell it like it IS Doc - they're not fooling many people anymore - if it's manufactured - it's crap
I'm an avid label reader and am calling BS all the time. However, this video gives me a boost in what to look for on the label. Thank you!
I always read the labels. Especially if the garbage on front says “sugar free”
Thank you for the heads up!!
Since I will never understand why a vegetarian would want to eat fake bacon, I, as a carb addict, could never justify eating fake sugar.
I get only monkfruit drops and also 100% monkfruit powder. To be fair that blend is for baking so end of story and it's better than sugar. Definitely agree on the BS advertising
Baking?
@@robertcywes2966 😂😂. Purist !
@@robertcywes2966 Yea that's basically a product for only baking. ... because it matches up with the sugar equivalent.
@@robertcywes2966 Since it's for baking that's why they can't use all monkfruit powder. It'd be too sweet and wouldn't match up with sugar.
Once again, thank you 😊
Great vid
Oh WOW! Now THAT’s some bad CHI! I’m glad you brought this to light. I usually read my labels but just trusted that monk fruit was the main ingredient. Switching to allulose!
Made me laugh and think all in the same video!! Thank you for all you do!
It enraged me when I realized that sugar alcohols caused weeks and weeks of profound gut agony over the past year (lily's chocolate & cheesecake made with Lakanto's "monkfruit"). My intestines both shut down and blew up - required extreme effort just to drag myself through work. I gut suckered in because I feel great from a bone broth which has (just) monkfruit. I thought my fancy research had found a real treasure - not!
Wow! Thank you
Dang, I just bought a small bag and I only read the front of the package, no mention of any other ingredient. I just went to my cupboard and looked at the package. It’s listed on the back in very small print. I ALWAYS read the ingredients before I buy anything. Not sure how I missed this but it won’t happen again. It’s going into the bag of food I’m donating to the Food Bank. Lesson learned. Thanks Doc
Ha ha, I did the exact same thing!😅
Send it to me. I know what it is and I like it.
You Rock Dr. Cywes!
Thanks Doctor... I learn something today👍
Spot on Doc! They play these tricks all the time.
I found out that most Erythritol is sourced from corn, which hubby can’t do. There is also birch source for this, and pear Erythritol from France. I have an order in for the pear stuff to see how that goes. Otherwise, it seems that the only way to get pure Monk Fruit is in liquid form. But I’d appreciate correction on that if I’m wrong.
I buy 100 percent powdered monk fruit from Jeff Bezos. it's expensive but lasts a long time.
You can buy liquid monkfruit , its pretty expensive, but it doesnt have any other sweeteners in it.
I loved all your reactions to the label! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:15 - the relief knowing Dr Cywes isn't selling out with his own-brand of bullshit supplements.
First thing first, this is a processed food product, it comes in a package and it's manipulated by men.
Second, why to sweet artificially food?
Real food have to taste good otherwise isn't good to be eaten.
Now I found something called Konjac, good to replace rice or pasta, it's rich in glucomannan a water-soluble polysaccharide.
And the most of the manipulated package I found here in Portugal like Konjac noodles, Konjac rice, and etc, it also have tapioca starch, or oatmeal flour.
Whe have to be PhDs in interpreting food products labels.
Thank you. Educational and eye opening for those keen to make the change. Marketing eyewash! Read the labels people.
Awesome. Wallet biopsy.
Thank you soooooo much!! I have been using this because my husband is diabetic. No wonder I don't like it.
Love the non-BS info
They do sell just the monk fruit extract in liquid form without any other sweetener. I use it on occasion.
WOW, thank you.
By saying 1 cup of Lakanto is equal to 1 cup of sugar they were just saying it is a 1 to 1 ratio.
Who ever uses a CUPFUL? Oh yeah...carbaddicts
@@robertcywes2966 in baked goods
@@granny58 that's what confectioners are for
My son is type 1 diabetic, and doctor said he can have now and then sugar free drinks. And when he does have it his sugar goes up ,, I told his diabetes nurse,, and she was surprised . She said it shouldn't happen. But it does each time he has it . All this sweeteners is rubbish.
It’s true. I’m T2 and lots of artificial sweeteners spike me, too. Not monkfruit or erythritol or stevia, but anything else like Splenda or aspartame will.
As the whole reason for going low carb/keto/carnivore for me was to break the sugar habit, I don't understand why people use sweeteners. Wean yourself off the sweet taste as quickly as possible, then you stop craving sugar.
Very true. Once you've weaned yourself off the sweet taste these products are a waste of $$$.
Love it. This Doc is "Primo" ! (Greetings from the USA, Doc.)
Fabulous. Thanks 👌🏾
I agree with you, I got it and use it ones in a while.
Just checked my packet out (in Australia so it’s a totally different brand) and what a joke! Says Monk Fruit Sweetener with much smaller text stating with erythritol, that’s okayish. Look at the ingredients and it’s 99.5% erythritol and 0.5% monk fruit extract!! Whaaaaat! How do they get away with that really?!
It's a blend, so that it tastes better and is a 1:1 replacement for sugar. Works well for people who desire to replace sugar in recipes. Some people do better than others. As for me, I add actual monk fruit extract to coffee to make it drinkable.
This kind of thing can get some people over the keto hump. If you're going through a bag of that stuff regularly, though, you're never going to conquer your sweet tooth. It's the same reason not to go through the "keto" candy bars, cookies, etc.
Agreed. Issue is not the erythritol or monk fruit. Its the marketing strategy
ooooo, I would totally eat pork with a chicken skin... :)
Good
Great video, excellent personality!
“Little bit of bullshit right there” LOL! Can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers- you crack me up.
This stuff gives me a gas attack that could set off the “big one” here in Oregon so to protect people who live here I don’t ever indulge!!
we all know about Lakanto. lol... And about erythritol. But there is pure monk fruit, very expensive, that is sold and can be used. Besides, even Lakanto can't be used at 1 teaspoon. It's too much.
Everything is like that though, no surprise - olive oil is a complete mix, especially from Italy, stake is made of pressed strips of meat, juice is not juice, milk has bad additives. Food industry of almost any country is hardly regulated.
Chi is life energy.😂🤣 We use it because it’s a way to get away from sugar. We know it’s a bandaid, or a bridge, as you say coffee is. Not fooled by the labels. I use a stevia erythritol blend with 2 grams per 1/2 teaspoon. Husband just prefers the Lakanto golden.....
porkwith chicken skin on it....omg...u r so funny..as well brutally honest and wise. thank you for calling big industry out on their advertising B.S....as they say...may the buyer...beware...be aware ..so true....thank also for educating public on calories per gram of carb....knowledge is powerful
Well this explains why after going low carb and fasting 3 times week 36 to 42 hours for 2 months I lost 8lbs but now nothing and check my A1c I was 7.0 then and still 7.0 no change
have you managed to get down your A1c eventually?
Yes I have but it’s a process being a carb addict I keep falling off the wagon but I don’t give up and keep pushing forward
(stealing your line)
Dr! You're the best thing to happen to us since sliced bread...🤔
"The salesman ALWAYS lies."
Thank you ❣️. Puts me out of ketosis .
You had me with that title for a minute.
How about a good look at all the 'cauliflower' marketed items like pizza crust and cauliflower tots....catch words at their best!
Love your Truth!
Read the label on "Stevia in The Raw" some time
Wow! This stuff really IS amazing. I mean according to my calculations: 0 total carbs, minus 4 sugar alcohols, equals negative 4 carbs/16 calories. So basically, if I just eat this, I could be in a caloric deficit. I think they've just discovered the greatest weight loss secret of all time. Genius!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
I noticed the erythritol ingredient too and stopped using it. Erythritol can cause intestinal distress for many. Food companies are so deceptive these days.
The green Stevia packets in Starbucks have sugar as the first ingredient. Same with Splenda.
my blood sugar spikes when I eat this as well. Pisses me off, especially with the syrups. I can't have pancakes or waffles unless I make my own syrup using allulose. great video as always Dr. C
You did cause me to have a pause with your title, but then you did exactly what I thought you would do. I avoid all the new keto foods like the plague, including this one.
I use whole earth sugar . It's 99% alcohol sugar . I use it for baking
Awesome! You need to do another one of these and feature great value stevia. The package at all nice and beautiful but with the tiny words with maltodextrin. You can explain how awful that stuff is! There's no getting around how bad that is. Erythritol would have been better. Not much but definitely better.
gotta comment. That was GOOD Doc! You had me LOL.
Erythritol does raise blood sugar. Monk fruit drops(extract) does not raise blood sugar.
Chi pronounced Chee you inner spirit or strength.
This is the same as stevia. I grow the plant in my backyard, which is originally local from here, Argentina. And when I'm in Asia, which is often, I buy the actual monk fruit.
Use the plants, fruits themselves, grow them yourself if possible.
I agree! Using it here and there is fine, but know what goes in your body. On that note, have you read the ingredients label on the Costco rotisserie chicken? I used to get it every Costco trip, now I buy it only once in a blue moon when I reeeally don't want to cook.
There is a product listed as just monk fruit, no erythritol, which is even more expensive, but you just use 1/32 tsp in your coffee (enough to give a bit of sweetness to my 20 oz coffee. I don't have a CGM, but did test my blood sugar before and 15, 30, 60 min after using it, and blood sugar only rose 1 pt., so it works for me. I hate the aftertaste of stevia and won't use the sugar alcohols. Plus I only drink the one 20 oz coffee, and not every day. I do love watching you, Dr. Cywes, you are a breath of fresh air, have really good scientific information to impart, and are intelligent, humorous and very human. :)
Thank you, I was fooled. Other keto you tube teachers have said this is good, so I did not look close at package.
Double rats, all about the money. I couldn't figure why the needle was moving so slow because I was not cheating. Mainly carnivore with light salad or crucifix veggies plus a little fresh frozen blueberries with heavy cream and packet of monk fruit. My eyes couldn't see that ghost writing with the erythritol word. May they fall in the ditch they dug. So sick of the legal cons.
Thank you for the clarity, Dr. Rob.
I will use this only on occasion & in small amounts... NEVER a whole cup, Bloody Hell!
I bought liquid monk fruit that is 100%
Where did you buy it?
I've been looking for this. Where did you get it?
Alot of liquid monkfruit brands use cane alcohol which doesn't sound too good
I use monk fruit drops that have to be refrigerated. Only one ingredient. Monk fruit. I hope that is safe! Lol
Where and what brand, I have found no such thing as pure monk fruit
@@traditional50shightech30 I bought a 100% monk fruit powder by Aki Organic on Amazon.
Lmfao at “chi” there’s no way that builds chi only Qigong, yoga and certain tonic herbs can build that! 🤣😂
Lol as someone from lower income countries i would definitelly just buy cheapest erythritol i could find and correct for difference in sweetness or add few drops of stevia separatelly :) . I only bought such expensive mix when it was on about 90% sale :P .
