Keto Sweeteners: List of Approved Sugar Substitutes- Thomas DeLauer…
Stevia:
Steviol glycosides are poorly absorbed in the body and pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract fully intact. Once steviol glycosides reach the colon, gut bacteria convert steviol glycosides into steviol - steviol is then metabolized by the liver before being excreted in the urine. And the steviols have actually been shown to lower insulin and glucose due to its lack of metabolization.
Monk Fruit:
Monk fruit sweetener is made from extract derived from dried fruit - the extract is 150-250 times sweeter than table sugar, has zero calories and carbs, and does not raise blood glucose levels
Been shown in studies to reduce NF-kB and decrease the production of inflammatory molecules such as iNOS, COX-2, and IL-6
Erythritol (and other sugar alcohols):
Once sugar alcohols are absorbed they use very little to no insulin to convert to energy - not all of the sugar alcohol passes into the bloodstream, and the rest passes through the small intestine and into the large intestine. Erythritol, however, is considered the safest sugar alcohol as it the most well tolerated in terms of digestive discomfort - it has no effect on blood glucose and has zero calories (naturally found in fruits, vegetables and fermented foods)
Unlike other sugar alcohols (like Xylitol) the laxative effects are not reported to be as common because 90% of Erythritol is absorbed before it enters the large intestine and is excreted via urine
High Fructose Corn Syrup:
When fructose is metabolized, it turns into free fatty acids and triglycerides, which get stored as fat - fatty acids accumulate as fat droplets in your liver and skeletal muscle tissues, causing insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
A byproduct of liver metabolism is that your liver begins to create uric acid, causing blood pressure to increase and can result in gout - also has no effect on ghrelin and has been shown to cause overeating
Table Sugar:
Regular table sugar is broken down into fructose and glucose when it enters the bloodstream
And, as mentioned, excess fructose gets turned into glycogen, becoming a danger for those in a ketogenic state
Honey:
Honey is considered a “nutritionally dense” sweetener, but it’s packed full of fructose
Most processed honey also has added sugars and is usually pasteurized, losing most of the nutritional benefits it has
Additional:
Agave syrup is generally seen as a low GI sweetener - while Agave Syrup is about a 9.6 GI due to low glucose content, it is mostly fructose and very highly processed
It can contain up to 80% fructose which has a very high impact on our blood sugar levels and is typically seen as one of the most damaging sources of sugar
Grey Area
Artificial Sweeteners:
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic sugar substitutes that are regulated by the FDA - can be more than 100x sweeter than sugar and provide a zero calorie alternative
Studies have shown that it’s possible to successfully use artificial sweeteners in a ketogenic diet
One study, published in the journal Epilepsia, subjects successfully stayed in ketosis despite being given saccharin (Sweet’n’low) every day
Splenda typically contains maltodextrin
Downside to Artificial Sweeteners:
A study, from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, concluded that saccharin negatively impacts gut bacteria and promotes liver inflammation.
Found that saccharin elevated expression of pro-inflammatory iNOS and TNF-α in liver and indicated that it induced inflammation

How about fasting can you use any or no
Hi Thomas, it has been a few years since you posted this video. Many of the Whey Protein powder companies ON and Dymatize ect are adding Sucralose to their Protein Powder. I have a Ketogenic Smoothie made from scratch, for breakfast each morning which I add Whey Protein too. I have been reading labels and the there is not maltodextrin mentioned before or after the "Sucralose" on the labels. Would this be a "NO GO" for keto? I am not a fan of Splenda because it is so ridiculously sweet... Please help me out if you can thank you!
What about cane sugar?
Thomas, thanks for the info. I was wondering about Allulose? I keep seeing it in keto products.
@@Rafrob77 is raw honey the same as any honey as far as fructose?
Gotta love a guy that puts the caps on his markers right away. I respect that commitment.
Ha,ha, thank you, love your humour.
hahahahahahahhahahaha.
try bocha sweet--japanese pumpkin--kaboucha (pentose)
Forrest Behr probably just being nervous.
This guy knows aspartame is a Poison. Still, he Recommends it. Respect that
Very well prepared presentation. No annoying lead in. Whiteboard prepared beforehand, unlike presentations in which we watch the presenter write on the whiteboard. No uhs. Pure information. No anecdotes about one's own experience. Thank you, Thomas.
And no annoying music...
Agreed, very professionally presented
Truly a perfect presentation. I actually got the information I needed without getting bored.
Micro stressed maybee 😐
I personally prefer to hear about ones personal hands on experience vs controlled studies that can be financed to encourage certain outcomes and interpreted different ways. Funny that modern man finds personal testimony irrelevant
4:35 Monkfruit - has antioxidants, plug for Lakanto (@ whole foods)
9:35 Erythritol - plant fibre, 0.7% sweet as sugar (less excitotoxin response,)
I'm allergic to both. :(
Just clarifying it’s 70%, not 0.7%
F the science answer the question lol
I can’t have them experienced terrible bloating and I loved the taste of lakanto
@@rickichase3438 Try finding pure stevia from Peru. Label shows up as Bolivian Stevia from Peru.. No additives, to bad you are alergic.
I LOVE these APPROVED and NOT APPROVED videos. Makes it a lot easier.
Bret Hart glad you enjoy them! I appreciate you watching!!
Great information Thomas. You're an encyclopedia! I'm going through your videos, but thought I'd ask if you have one that highlights Approved/not approved relating to tummy bloat?
Thomas DeLauer I really like the dry erase board lists so I can screenshot it for future quick referencing 😉
Isn’t sugar alcohol bad ? Their Monk-fruit powder has 5g sugar alcohol in it.
Asif A it’s really bad for me . They affect a very small percentage of the population like less than 3%. It makes me super sick -sweating dizzy and gastrointestinal distress
Dude your a god given gift I literally can find anything I concerned myself with thanks man i appreciate you for giving tons of information for free
Seriously. I searched YT with sucralose and it comes back with TDL. So many health searches come back with TDL videos. One of the main guys that helped me lose 180lbs and maintain. Just over 2 years and I know I never have to balloon up again with the likes of TDL teaching me how "foods" affect me!
Thanks Thomas!
Thank you! Those of us with hypoglycemia have trouble with honey and agave; monkfruit has been a miracle find! Just a note with Erythritol --- if corn is used to make it (for feeding the yeast), make sure it's labeled non-GMO, if not, it is what it eats :) (ref: Dr. Berg)
What's wrong with GMO?
Erythritol is what helped me stick with the Keto diet, I've got a sweet tooth and it taste to me more like sugar than any of the other sweeteners and it don't make me feel sick or give me an upset stomach.
So do i count the carbs on erythritol for keto? He didn’t really confirm 😭
good...thanks...i like sugar strait up...i can't take it tooooo fake of a taste...I mainly want to cook with it
@@sergbarrose1474 I believe you don't count it towards your carbs because it's a sugar alcohol and it's not absorbed in the gut. It also doesn't cause a glycemic reaction. At least that's my understanding. Best of luck. 👍
Recently on news as carcinogenic
I really wanted to love erythritol but I genuinely only use sugar (pre keto) for my coffee and omg it tastes HORRIBLE in coffee to me lol I've gone with sucralose coffee syrup and it's been much better and doesn't kick me out of keto or cause any insulin spikes. The ingredients are just water, flavoring (vanilla), and sucralose, so no maltodextrin or anything.
I am so impressed with your knowledge and the way you explain these subjects so that those of us who are pretty overwhelmed at all of the science involved in low carb/keto eating, can understand and comprehend what we need to succeed. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Erythritol tastes awful to me though. Stevia is a little better. Monk fruit is also better.
Maltodextrin is basically sugar, and it's the main ingredient in the large packets of splenda and stevia so keep an eye out.
So ehat should i use for sugar??????
It's EVERYWHRE here in the UK: Pills, Vitamin pills/effervescents, Mineral pills, "Zero" calories electrolite effervescents/pills; you name it. ERASE MALTODEXTRINE FROM THE FACE OF EARTH, PLEASE MANUFACTURERS!!
I didnt even know now I do thankfully
yes maltodextrin and also dextrose
Bad for your gut
wish this list were more complete and discussed allulose and xylitol. Allulose is of high interest because it's properties are similar to sugar (sucrose), like making caramel and / or candies.
Try Dr Ekbert for a more complete list of sweetners. th-cam.com/video/kcnGmKi3xms/w-d-xo.html
I really like his organized approach to this. Im just starting my keto journey and this is very helpful about the sweetners because I WAS lost.
I don't use any sugar.
Had diabetes type 2 for 12 years .
Went on a low carb high fat journey and in 7 weeks I could stop taking my medication . Diabetes and high blood pressure.
No .. no sugar or diet coke for me .
Water , thee or coffee for me .
Good for you. But those keto foods are nasty and need help
Good for you!! While I didn't have diabetes for 12 years, I did have it for one year. Fully expected, as I had been 150 pounds overweight for like 25 years. Also had high blood pressure and high cholesterol--the triple crown of issues leading to heart disease and death! Anyway, after only ONE WEEK on keto, my blood sugars were down to normal, unmedicated. I have dropped 10 pounds a month without changing my ultra-sedentary lifestyle the least little bit. I am NEVER hungry. In fact, I sometimes forget to eat--exact opposite of my foodaholic eating habits before. But trust me, I do eat plenty! Interesting side benefits: My awful reflux/heartburn just stopped on DAY ONE--so not a benefit of weight loss, but a benefit of the diet. Also, no more gas. Seriously. Not to be too blunt, but I don't think I've passed wind even once since starting keto. Big change there. Also, no abdominal discomfort at all or irregularity--also a big change from my lifelong status. After 4 months, my blood pressure is back into normal range, so no more BP meds for me! Cholesterol panel is awesome too, with my ratio (big heart disease indicator) in the "best" category. Keto is a miracle, pure and simple.
@Lake TitiCaca what a loser lol
@Lake TitiCaca wtf racist
I have to agree with what you said. :)
someone needs to start a Keto Candy Shop..lol
ive thought about that. a whole keto restaurant... feel like it would be ridiculously expenisve. fathead pizzas, shirataki noodles, keto cheesecake, chocolates... could be done i guess
Don't be mad at me!! I'll take all these ideas and become rich!! Great idea! lol!
Curly Girls sells keto friendly candy
Agreed
I need a keto proof shop so I can easily shop
After 40-50 of no ketosis in carnivore I changed my sweetener from Stevia to Monkfruit and in 2 days was in ketosis. Thank you for the video that changed my whole situation.
Thank you Richard, now I know how I stalled my weight loss response
Why?
Probably because you were using stevia with maltodextrin
So helpful!! VERY well-explained and informative! So easy to follow and understand! Not “wordy” and over your head- just detailed facts. Very well-articulated & illustrated!! 👍
5 stars!
Asked Thomas for directions to the grocery store. In response he taught me the history of cartography, and, proceeded to mentor me in the art of paper making from various wood fibers. Finally he explained in detail how I might extract ink using lampblack soot and aqueus binders, which he helped me to apply to the paper in the form of a map to the grocery store.
Thanks for the laugh
Lets get married. Our brains are insinc!😂😂😂😂😂
@@nileshsalunke5105 i know.
@@lindar6326 :)..Cheer up. DM me on insta: nil_ace
@@nileshsalunke5105 ok lets talk
Best and most intricate information that I got from this video is that liquid Stevia should be used instead of powder. I never knew that. Thanks
Yes, that's interesting. But I happened to have some Truvia powder in my pantry and was wondering about that. I checked the Truvia website FAQ and it says that Truvia uses Erithritol instead of Maltodextrin.
Jam Jam I will be trying that.
Aaron Spirit can’t stand it 🤢🤮
Yep. I've found liquid stevia is better too. But with stevia, you can't overdo it, otherwise it doesn't taste good.
To me, Truvia tastes like regular sugar. It's great.
Thank you Thomas, i watches 2 years ago and back again now, your videos really helped me
Unbelievable amount of information presented clearly and so valuable that I took a screenshot of your whiteboard for future reference.
Thanks for all that you do for us Ketofreaks!
Ive been taking screenshots of every white board explanation i see in his videos 😂
@@brandonhenley3597 me too!
Your videos are extremely helpful in filtering out the unhealthy ingredients in our daily food. Thanks!
I've been using Lacanto monk fruit for a long time now. I love it. Y ok u can buy it at your local store too.
Excellent. Would love to see an updated rundown including recent research and newer sweeteners like allulose and tagatose.
Me too, along with details about molasses
I am very curious about allulose also.
@@dr00holt malla
Molasses is a derivative from sugar cane so that would be a big red x.
@@dr00holt Molasses is a no go
th-cam.com/video/rb1QUMqY4g0/w-d-xo.html He did a video on allulose, I was curious as well and found it.
For Stevia if you want to use the non-liquid form/powdery form, please purchase the Sweat Leaf brand because it doesn't have the maltodextrin as mentioned by Thomas.
Also, warning about "Stevia in the Raw". It comes in little packets. It includes dextrose, which is bad, bad, bad.
Why is dextrose bad ?
Maltodextrin
So which stevia will be good for people on keto... because I bought a stevia and had maltodextrin
@@cindymora8664 Truvia isn't really stevia, it's alcohol sugar... but that's a top 3 keto alternative. The only way to get true Stevia I believe nowadays with no filler is leaves or liquid. Any powdered one will have filler.
Michael Paul is I bought a stevia that is powdered that contains Erythritol, stevia plant extract and natural flavors... will that also not be good since it’s a powdered form?
I just started Keto. This was very helpful. Thank you so much.
The only one that works with my brain, literally as a migraine with aura sufferer, is munk fruit. The rest of them give me migraines 24 hours after consuming any food items made with any sugar substitute that isn't munk fruit. Munk fruit is migraine safe. For those that suffer from migraines and are keto/low-carb followers.
Where do you get yours from?
Wow, thanks for sharing this!! I just thought I was still struggling with "Keto fever" with getting migraines the past few weeks. I'm out of the Swerve I was using so I'll try this Lakanto Monkfruit next.
This has been very informative. I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic and am on a low carb diet. Thank you for sharing this info.
Thanks for an amazing break down. 10/10
Would watch again, I just did actually, might watch a third time later :)
Thank you! You provide a perfect balance of useful information while explaining the science and reasons behind it. Terrific video.
I really appreciate your comparison of all these sweeteners and am pleased that I've made the right choices so far. You didn't mention Bocha Sweet which I recently discovered and so far I'm loving it. To me it tastes exactly like sugar in every way. So I'm curious what your take is on this sweetener since it might not have been around at the time this video was made 4 years ago.
Glycerol is actually a component of MCT, as is evident in the name: Medium Chain Triglyceride.
With MCT, we always focus on the medium chain fats, but neglect the glycerol component.
As the name implies, each MCT macromolecule is composed of three molecules of medium chain fats bound together by one molecule of glycerol.
So, when we take MCT, we are *always* getting glycerol with it, though it's a small amount compared to what we'd typically use in the form of pure glycerin.
Keto or not?
Thanks for explaining all these sweeteners.
@thomas DeLauer This list of sugar substitutes is helpful. Thanks for sharing! What do you think about Allulose and Inulin as sugar substitutes?
Thanks Thomas, you explained why my using a 1/4 to 1/2 or even a full teaspoon of monk fruit/Erythritol in my coffee in the morning makes it actually BETTER than a full teaspoon of sugar!! I actually taste the coffee instead of sugar and not any bitterness, which is why I liked to sweeten the coffee....but now I realize that coffee flavor is hidden with the sugar!! Now I enjoy a just a nice strong mild taste. Even if I wasn't doing any dieting, it is far superior to regular old, refined sugar
Wow this was the best explanation ever on things that we are so commonly confused about! Thank you!
I went to holistic dr....tested on my body that the Monk Fruit Sweetener from Lakonta is good. That is my go to sweetner
Even swerve was ok.
Thomas, thank you for the disambiguation around sucralose! It's complicated since it is usually available in packets with maltodextrin, but pure liquid sucralose, without the binders, doesn't trigger an insulin response. Yeah, it's not great for the gut biome, but if you use it sparingly, it's totally fine on keto.
It's so complicated. And in fact sucralose still has a lot of pending research.
*It's good to have a comprehensive guide on which sweeteners are keto-friendly and can be used as alternatives to sugar. Thanks for providing insights and tips for choosing the right sweeteners* 😊
This video was majorly needed! Thank you for the full explanation, you're awesome.
Thanks for the info. Just starting Keto. Love the vids.
When you do this "trend", your body is practically fasting ... And when you fast where does it get the calories it needs to energize? From excess fat. In two weeks I lost 2kg and in any case many doctors recommend fasting, because it is healthier. But don't forget to drink a lot of water and prioritize vegetables and fruits that give good quality of sugars.
Very well done made video Thomas. This video helps many people to make less mistakes during fasting. God bless you and your hard work.
I cannot eat 🍉 fruit to much sugar
@@EdithIvhay fax
@@EdithIvhay you can eat berries
Fruits? SUGAR; mostly "FRUITose". You do not need fruits but VEGEABLES/GREENery. xxxxBerries: OK in moderation
Is there any such thing as a Good Sugar?? Seems like anything with sugar, natural or added, or anything that quickly turns into sugar is absolutely NOT good you.
I just discovered your channel its pure GOLD. the amount of info, the simplicity, and usefulness. Would you do a video on Xylitol, Sorbitol, Acesulfame K, Sodium Cicclamate?
My thoughts exactly! I often see Acesulfame K in my protein supplement products, really curious as to how it effects blood glucose. Seen some pretty contradictory info so not quite sure what to think.
I think Acesulfame K is the same as Sucralose…….chlorinated sugar.
I just watched this clip, and was surprised that Xylitol, didn’t make the list. Xylitol with birch.
Thanks for the presentation. That really helps me a lot.
Best most useful vids out there. Thanks for sharing and helping the folks too busy to do the research.
My pleasure, thank you for watching
Hope you guys are doing well. Thank you for sharing.
Marque Kander thanknyou!
Thomas De Lauer is one of about 8 advisors/doctors that I follow. His videos have really helped me to improve my menu. I no longer refer to my Keto method as a diet. It is a lifestyle and a menu. No dieting involved.
Edited: he also stays at the end... NOTE about Stevia - read the label. Some of the packets have added add maltodextrin.
Thanks for the information and the breakdown of all these sweeteners really helps the beginner KETO guy.
Thank you for sharing this important information listening from Brownwood Texas
Noticed my Body Armor Lyte (which is awesome btw) is sweetened with erythritol. So I looked into it and its pretty cool stuff. The whole reason sugar alcohols cause digestive issues is because your body cant break them down. So when they get caught in your colon they cause problems. But erythritol bypasses your colon by being absorbed into your blood and excreted through your urine unchanged. And actually may help improve the function of your blood vessels and reduce risk of heart disease. Also tastes more like sugar than any other sweetener I've had without being overly sweet. Im actually not a fan of really sweet stuff anyway so this stuff is perfect.
You are wonderful at explaining things. Thank you Thomas.
On keto your taste receptors are so much more sensitive to sweetness that even things like cinnamon taste sweet
@C M my gf doesnt get how i like 90% cocoa so much now and now i know why
Cinnamon is sweet
@Richard Montano not a fan
Siim how do you feel about Allulose?
C M Literally just finished eating this. What the heck 😆 Your comment is the second one I read. I noticed this too. It’s delicious and everyone doesn’t want a piece so it’s a win win 😂
I'm not on keto, but thank you for all the great information. I've had a kidney transplant and this is so helpful to me. 👍🙋
You could look to flavcity videos too. And Dr. Berg. 😊 it has helped me a lot. Of course these videos from Thomas are also so good!
Dede Dinah Me to in June.
@@gallettiguitartones Dr Berg also recommended xylotol which is a no go
Wishing you great health!
I dont think we should be doing any sweetners at all learn to live without them.
I was using organic sucralose with no maltodextrin and no issues with gut or anything else, but the fact it could deplete my good bacteria, I just bought monkfruit. Thank you
Great video. Just a note: mogrosides in monk fruit stimulates insulin product in the pancreas so it does spike insulin. Compared to sugar though it is lower. It might be ok on keto but not on fasting. Erythritol can cause liver enzyme irregularities and increase fat in the belly area for some people. My friend was taking it and he had to stop because his LFTs went high. Other women experience a fat gut from it
So anything sweet is a no go 😭
@@Silverdudespolicy she is saying monk fruit is good for keto but not if your fasting.It will break your fast
Om my god
I realy needed this information
God bless you
Keep it up
Amazing mate ! I search for this so Long ! Greatings from Germany :)
That clears up alot and very informative!!! Great job!
Thank you for such a detailed explanation!
Great Information! Keep up the good work!
Great video Thomas! :)@Thomas DeLauer Does the monk fruit also have a excitotoxic reaction, because it's 300x sweeter than sugar???? Love your videos, best regards from Austria
Very informative and presented well for those who are confused about sugar replacement.
Switching to monk fruit was probably one of the best things I could have done. I was drinking like 25 grams of regular sugar in a cup of coffee (16oz mug). Times 2 if I drank multiple cups. I immedatly lost weight simply from switching to monk fruit in my coffee instead of sugar. Plus it tastes like real sugar imo. Once I combined that with diet and exercise, I'm in the best shape of my life.
Super helpful. I went from white sugar to raw sugar then honey and now Stevia; but I also have a new bottle of Agave 🤨
Excellent presentation and even better.... links to scientific sources. Thank you. Well done.
Thanks for this GREAT video! It answered a lot of my questions about keto friendly sweeteners. I would like to buy just one so can monk fruit be swapped for erithritol 1:1?
Thomas, your videos are getting better and better! I loved them before but the last couple of weeks they have just been totally awesome! This is, hands down, the best sweetener video out there! Thank you so very much!
Found out early in my keto journey that Splenda directly increased the occurrence & severity of my migraines...i have had severe chronic migraines since 2nd grade, but got rid of 95% of them by changing my diet. Thank you Thomas! 💚
Interesting. I abused aspartame in my teens and almost 30 years later it still gives me migraines... And yes this happens even if I didn't know ahead of time that the product contained aspartame.
The both of you should actually watch this video-
th-cam.com/video/Mf82FfX-wuU/w-d-xo.html
It’s about how there is no scientific proof that Sucralose does anything bad to your body - you just pee it out. It gives a temporary sweet taste to the taste buds and then is not absorbed in the body at all. You just pee it out - this is why it was no calories, does NOT affect insulin or blood or blood sugars and is what is recommended for diabetics. Please don’t listen to this guy - it isn’t even strong enough to affect your gut biome at all - your gut biome doesn’t recognize Sucralose as food or anything really. Watch the video I linked and stop blaming Sucralose for your migraines it’s the same as saying water causes migraines. It just doesn’t
Might be perhaps worth letting people know that HFCS in Europe is called glucose syrup instead?
It's not used too often however it did surprise me to see that here. The UK massively subsidises dairy, and the US massively subsidises corn, which explains why we have nicer chocolates with less things containing glucose syrup / HFCS
Question !
Is it better to grow your own stevia and how does using the leaf form affect ketosis?
Love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work!
I would like to know the answer to this also
Although it's incredibly hard for me because I really like sweets which is my downfall, it's better for me to not eat anything with sugar or any ingest any kind of sweetner. I just use some fresh fruit as my go to ....I'm down 22lbs and feel so much better
How did you stop? I love sweets like a crack w***e loves crack.
Thank you for that great information. I love coffee and use to use artificial sweeteners. I am just confused on wich one to use so I just put a little half n half. Its easier just to cut out all sweeteners.
You always have valuable information on your channel. Thanks for sharing. Love ya!
I love sweets and I 've been using monkfruit sugar for my sweets. Thank you for all the explanations about these sweeteners.
You make the world a better place. Thank you for doing what you do.
high fructose corn syrup is not "super concentrated fructose". It's about 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Whereas table sugar (sucrose) is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. so it's "slightly concentrated" fructose if you will
Thanks for the discount. I am a HUGE fan and user of Lakanto's Monk fruit sweeteners. If not for them I am not sure I would have survived my first month on Keto.
...and CHOCOLATE?!!!😁😁😁
Your videos are a god send! I’m doing carnivore and I take liquid methadone because I’m in recovery, and I was super stressing that the sorbitol would kick me out of ketosis. I feel awful it’s been rough for me. I’m taking electrolytes and doing the right things but just can’t seem to shake the tired heavy body sluggishness that I feel, it sucks but I’m doing my best. My heart’s constantly racing I’m sweating so effing much! during the day it’s insane! I didn’t sweat this much coming off heroin. My lower back hurts like awful. I’m determined tho I know this will help with a ton of my health issues thanx so much for your videos this one especially helped put my mind at ease! You are super appreciated really carnivore content I swear is the only thing getting me through this transition phase just constantly reminding myself it’s all temporary and will be 100% worth it in the end. 🙏
Wow Thomas. I love how in depth you go on this video. Fantastic insight. Can't wait to watch more of your content ('cause time) and absorb it like a sponge.
Some doctors and scientists say that as soon as a sweetener touches your tongue, small amounts of insulin gets released. I'd like to see more on that.
Watch Dr berg videos
I’ve read stuff about how just smelling food will trigger responses in the body. There might be some insulin effect but probably not big. The studies on artificial sweeteners generally not found much blood sugar impact even in diabetics. In theory, if your insulin spike without the sugar that might cause your blood sugar to get dangerously low but that doesn’t seem to happen.
I tend to just skip sweetners since I’m not sure about insulin response. So thank you for the great explanation
You're probably doing the right thing overall
Same
Me too. I rarely indulge in anything sweet because there's a good chance it will cause insulin secretion
Me too.
So clear - Wonderful delivery. Thank you 👊
Love the explanation of each sweetener. What about Xylitol and Allulose? Are those ok?
I’m firmly astounded at your level of understanding, as a scientist and an MD I rarely see this level of mastery amongst my peers! Absolutely love your videos
Hi! I am also soon becoming an MD and I love to see fellow colleagues interested in keto. Pretty much all of my university colleagues still think that cholesterol and fat is evil.

@@SuperJohnnyuk wow that is admirable! I hope you make your dreams come true...Most doctors go for clinics, but I prefer science and research because it is the root of everything.

You should check out Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Shiva, and Dr. John Bergman. They are even better with the science details.
This is an old comment, bit it highlights an issue every M.D. or doctor in training faces. We simply do not learn this information in medical school. I hated my second year nutrition course, because it was packed with outdated information. I was screaming inside of my head that I had NO plans of teaching patients any of the information presented. Furthermore, medical school is so rigorous that nutrition courses are truncated in order to allocate more time to subjects like pathology and pathophysiology. This poses a huge issue if we want to get serious about primary prevention. Many diseases of lifestyle are linked to nutritional issues.
By the way, I am also a biomedical scientist. 🙂
Enjoyed your video. I’ve done some research on xylitol for reasons other than Keto but, I would like to know if it’s keto friendly and/or health benefits.
I’m a new subscriber.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I use the date as the substitute for sugar. It is the best for anything, especially a delicious smoothie!
I would like to see this topic revisited considering what is now known about the serious health implications of over-consumption or long-term consumption of glycerol, aspartame and sucralose. I also feel maltose and malt extract should be included for scrutiny as I'm seeing them used in products a lot as a sweetener these days.
Aspartame was proven to cause cancer
Hey Thomas, I love your videos. What about ‘allulose?’
I didn’t see Allulose?
I enjoyed this info! Thank you
This is a two year old video. Allulose is fairly new.
@@randymoreno9345 I didn’t pay attention to the two year old part😆
Never knew this about Sucralose and Maltodextrin - thank you so much Thomas!
Thank you for a yet another very informative video. My question is, what do you think about Xylitol? Is it similar to Erythritol or different?
Different it's worse
I always get sleepy/woozy after eating erythritol. Also, I've used ChocZero monkfruit maple syrups and they have provided me with a higher glucose response.
Erythritol is the only one I tolerate the lakanto made me beyond ill.
Thanks this is very helpful, esp about toxicity! I find Dr. Ekberg’s presentation quite helpful and visually pleasing as well. One thing I learned, sugar alcohols is in the middle in terms of gut microbiome effect. I find Monkfruit the best and Stevia second😊 But I have to finish my bag of Erythritol first lol!
Is monk fruit great for cocoa or cacao drinks? I don't like the taste of stevia in my cacao or cocoa.
Thank you for your presentation !
Thank you Thomas for the helpful tips on choosing the right sweetener. I have been using Stevia for a while. But the way you are explaining to us about Monk fruit that sounds like maybe a better option ? GOD bless you.
Very informative. Would love to see you evaluate yogurts. Miss the old days of lime yogurt.
Truvia would be good as well I'm assuming since it's just stevia leaf and erythritol and natural flavors
I'm a diabetic, and this is great information to know. Thank you
I throughly digest your video content even though I struggle with the super science terms. Would you consider an update to this sweetener review? There’s so much impact information out there since you produced this originally three years ago. With the addition of Allulose to the market, how does that affect the keto WOE and insulin response?
i had read that it's important to use erythritol from birch bark, not the corn-derived type. also, curious about yakon syrup, which is said to be probiotic.
