hey guys I had a recent question related

to monk fruit and stevia and riether

tall and xylitol which one’s the best

which ones there were so let’s just talk

about these four sweeteners monk fruit

and stevia and recruit all all have a

zero glycemic index so they will not

increase insulin okay

xylitol on the glycemic index is thirty

so it’s low but it’s still a little

spike if you consume this one in small

amounts it should not be a problem now I

do use xylitol for a lot of different

recipes simply because it really tastes

just like sugar okay

stevia has a little bit of an aftertaste

but this is really good in things like

like flavoring water and carbonated

water to make like a soda and it’s good

in certain recipes monk fruit also has a

slight little aftertaste it’s really

really sweet so you don’t need much of

it but both of these are very similar

there they kind of give a little bit of

an aftertaste they don’t really taste a

hundred percent like sugar but they’re

good in certain recipes but not in

others I don’t really use this one as

much I use stevia a little bit more now

riether tall doesn’t have the aftertaste

but it definitely does not taste like

xylitol it has more of a cold taste a

cold sweet taste but I still use this in

recipes because it’s great to combine

this maybe with this or these two

together and to have the the right

balance now the other point about the

wreath throat roll is sometimes it’s

made from corn which is GMO so you want

to make sure this one is non-gmo okay

same thing with xylitol this you want

this from birch bark and non-gmo and if

you’re actually chewing gum

make sure it’s xylitol gum and don’t

worry about it interfering with your

intermittent fasting it’s not going to

bump you out of ketosis it’s such a

small amount that gum that you don’t

want to consume is the gum with

aspartame you want to avoid these

artificial sweeteners these are sugar

alcohols and this is a fruit and this is

from a plant

these are totally fine there’s a lot of

other sugar alcohols and natural

sweeteners that you can do but these are

the common ones right here between these

two I found this one tends to give

people a little more digestive problem

it consumed in larger amounts this one

can be as well but if you’re having

small amounts it doesn’t seem to be a

problem but when you start making these

keto bombs or these recipes but it just

tastes so good you want to eat a lot of

it well then you’ll start getting some

problems because they can act as a

laxative or give you gas and sometimes

you’ll hear this idea that if you

consume anything sweet whether it’s monk

fruit or stevia even know it’s zero

calories it’s still gonna spike insulin

i’ve never had a problem with that i

never see a problem with that i wouldn’t

worry about it thanks for watching hey I
