let’s talk about the dangers and benefits of erythritol now what is

erythritol it’s a sugar alcohol it has nothing to do with alcohol you’re not

gonna get drunk by consuming erythritol basically it’s an alternative

sweetener and it’s 60 to 70 percent as sweet as sugar so it’s not exactly as

sweet as sugar it’s a little less and it does have a kind of a cooling effect

when you consume it as far as the calories go it has less than 25% of one

calorie per gram like sugar has four calories per gram protein has four

calories per gram fat has nine calories per gram

erythritol has .24 calories so it’s barely 1/4 of one calorie per

gram very insignificant so in a thumbnail sketch it’s 95 percent less

calories than sugar it gets absorbed in the small intestine

okay it gets in the blood but it gets excreted by the kidney unchanged so the

microbes don’t like to eat it so you really don’t have many negative effects

with erythritol it has zero effect on insulin it’s zero on the glycemic

index it does not affect your blood sugars so even though it’s made from

sugar using a certain friendly yeast to extract this sugar alcohol as long as

it’s non-gmo I think it’s a really good alternative sweetener what are the

dangers at high doses greater than 50 grams which I don’t know anyone

consuming that much in one sitting you may get some gas bloating stomach

noise and it may have a laxative effect but other than that there’s actually

virtually no additional dangerous side effects alright thanks for watching and
