“stick with stevia”.
Disappointed to read “Stevia in the Raw” is now “blended”.
Forks and spoons make you fat.
We must ban them or at least have common sense Silverware Laws............... 😉
The affect on glucose tolerance at least for me has more to do with the maltose and maltidextrin added to the brands you see on your grocer’s shelf. I learned this the hard way. Switching to a combination of sucralose, erythritol and monkfruit (special order no malt anything) and my blood glucose stays rock solid. YMMV

Read this book!...........😎
Can also be caused by lack of SALT and/or POTASSIUM in your diet................
As usual, most nutrition research is utter garbage. When the end result is “gut biome”, it is meaningless. Why? Because your gut bacteria change depending on what you eat, and NO ONE knows what is “healthy”.
It is like a study that determines good or bad by total cholesterol. If - as many now believe - cholesterol levels are almost meaningless, then any study based on determining how X affects total cholesterol (or total LDL cholesterol) is meaningless.
FWIW, I use a lot of Splenda (while doing Keto and IF) and watched my health dramatically improve. Because of Splenda? No, because of keto (near carnivore) and fasting.
And Splenda is vastly better for most people health wise than SUGAR!
“Never trust anything artificial when natural is available.”
When the “natural” is sugar...substitute almost ANYTHING. Lots of simple carbs are just bad. REALLY bad.
Good book. Been there done that. At this point I could probably write the book. I have a condition that triggers insulin resistance. I can control by diet only. Unfortunately this means grains and starches are a no-go for me. Sugary desserts are only a distant memory. Dr. notes that what I do is working (although he is still trying to talk me into a statin (aint gonna happen)).
“1 TABLESPOON (13 grams) of White Sugar has 49 calories.”
A 12 ounce can of Coke has 2.6 tablespoons of sugar - 127.4 kcal per can just from the sugar. I know people who drink Coke all day every day, and none of them are height/weight proportionate.
#45 Salt I have plenty from chips...
I do have potassium pills so I will take those.
I think soda takes potassium out of you.
I am drinking 3 cans or 1 quart along with water in a day.
I have cut back on that now and feel much better and sub with OJ or Apple juice which I drink even less.
The case study below has a guy drinking 4 liters of cola per day !!!

Does. ..... Some puts potassium IN YOU -. Diet Sprite, not regular, for instance..................
