So I want to talk about erythrotol. It's a sugar alcohol, but it doesn't have alcohol in it.

Sometimes people have a confusion, thinking that they're consuming alcohol. No, it has no alcohol in it.

Arethrotol is an alternative sweetener. It's 70% of the sweetness as actual table sugar. It has a

cooling factor, so it's kind of like a cold sensation.

It's zero on the glycemic index, so it does not increase your blood sugars.

Bacteria have a hard time consuming this sugar, so you're not going to have as much

digested problem as other sugar alcohols like Maltitol will. That actually creates

a lot of bloating and gas. This one, you'd have to consume a little bit more before you

have that effect. But in large quantities, you're going to have a laxative effect, stomach

rumbling, and probably a lot of gas. Now, a lot of products that use this alternative sugar also use inulin.

This is misspelled inulin.

This is a fiber from chickery root and from other things as well.

This is the thing that causes more bloating because it's a siable fiber, which is consumed

by the microbes because microbes eat fiber. And they ferment, and you can get a lot of gas

and bloating. So if you were to consume this without emulent, you'd probably be better off.

And probably in small quantities, it might be okay. So what is the problem with

erythritol? Well, there's several ways they make it. If it's made with yeast, it's fed glucose

from corn. And most corn is GMO, which means it's laced with glyphosate, an herbicide. So that is the big problem. And I think

there's basically I would look at erythrotol as two different versions, the GMO version and the

non-GMO version. I think a lot of the bad things you see about arethrotol on the internet

is pretty much only because it's

GMO. Because you're consuming a product that's been exposed to GMO corn. And that's the problem.
