I use honey if I use sweetener at all, which is not often.


It is my understanding that there are fiber syrups, such as agave and inulin, that will sweeten without raising blood sugar. Honey is certainly better than artificial sweeteners, but it will raise blood sugars.

I think it’s oligosaccharide syrup instead of plum syrup. Found in Korean food section of Asian stores.

...chlorinated hydrocarbon, just like DDT. You can destroy fire ant mounds with sucralose.

Interesting...

Sucralose is a “flipped” sugar molecule.

It’s a conveniently timed study blaming an artificial sweetener for damaging DNA, to distract from the growing mountain of evidence that the Jim Jones Jab from Pfizer and ModeRNA alter DNA.

Diet drinks need to be used by the ‘best by’ date (or within a year of that date)- while sugar drinks like COKE can be stored for decades... Something creepy about artificial sweeteners...

All my life never used any artificial sweeteners and always used regular sugar (now use “sugar in the raw” while I never had a single “high blood sugar” result in any blood tests (never even close to “pre” diabetic).

About 90% of Type II diabetics are over weight and my uneducated guess and belief is the constant over weight condition preceeded and helped bring on the diabetes.

Why? Being over weight - diabetic or not - is most often associated with constant consumption of too many carbs. Over consumption of too many carbs results in a high rate of carbs being converted to some forms the body can store. Type II diabetes are often told by their doctors not too look so much at “sugar” content of an item, look at the total carbs for the item. Doctors know the results of too many carbs, and doctors treating diabetics know it is total carbs more than mere “sugar” (one of the carbs) any diabetic has to watch.

Lastly, any Type II diabetic I have ever know that vastly reduced or got rid of their diabetes did so with a weight reduction and life style weight control regimen that adreesed their total carbs not specifically the sugar.

Interesting. More reason to view this new paper on Sucralose with skepticism.

Try sprinkling Ceylon cinnamon in your coffee. Great for controling your blood sugar and it adds a very light bit of sweetness. At least it does for me.

Big Sugar has lost a lot of business to Splenda.

And Imodium gained a lot of business from Splenda.
