this is another reason why you need to

start reading the labels very carefully

because of the assumption that just

because something is keto friendly like

stevia it’s healthy right well a lot of

the brands out there they’ll have things

like multi dextran now that is an

oxymoron because you’re buying stevia to

go low sugar right when the actual

stevia it has the absolute highest type

of sweetener on the glycemic index of

all the sweeteners Multi duction I think

it’s like a hundred and ten I mean think

about like sucrose that is 65 glucose is

a hundred melted dextran is over like a

hundred and ten so it’s gonna definitely

spike your blood sugars so you really

want to make sure it doesn’t say multi

dextran or dextrose or dextran any of

those types of sweeteners now that’s

Stevie on the raw sweet leaf has inulin

which is fine for most people but it can

create some bloating and then you have

better stevia organic cane alcohol well

I’m not sure you want to consume that

then you have pure stevia which is

organic stevia and natural flavors one

little point about natural flavorings is

many times they will use GMO ingredients

so you want to make sure if it’s a

natural flavoring that’s non GMO but for

the most part if you can just get stevia

by itself it’s going to be okay

ideally it’d be great if you can get

stevia that’s actually green it’s not

turning to this white powder which they

use certain chemicals to bleach it and

of course they don’t need to put those

chemicals in the label if it’s under a

half of a gram but they do use chemicals

to process stevia to get rid of that

aftertaste on some people they’re gonna

react to it most people are not going to

be sensitive to it so it’s not a big

deal but realize that if you do react to

it chances are you’re not going to react

to the actual stevia plant if you grow

it or if you buy in actual green powder

personally I don’t like stevia in my

coffee I think it’s good in a liquid

form in certain types of

native beverages other people like to

bake with it but the point about this

video is just because something is so

cold kitto friendly doesn’t mean that

it’s really keto friendly if it has

things like this and it’s thanks for
