    I’m looking on Amazon at all the sweeteners..you’re right..even the monk fruit contains erythritol. The orange box one..Lakanto..it says it has organic erythritol. Is that better? Want to avoid any stomach issues. I use the Truvia white and brown sugar in seldom made cookies so I guess that’s not a big concern. I just can’t find any packets of anything without erythritol.

    • @DrLivingood
      @DrLivingood  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @DrLivingood  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Blood sugar levels are supposed to fluctuate, especially when we are going through the process of insulin sensitivity. Most common things that throws the blood sugar, is cortisol (while you sleep) and how your liver is now cleaning and processing sugars, and switching your engines from sugar burning mode to fat burning mode. Give it time and consistency! For support, I'd recommend our Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules, take two servings per day for maximum blood sugar support. -LGD Team
