What Is Erythritol and How to Use It In Moderation
When choosing a sweetener, you have many choices, but from different perspectives, only a few can be considered the best, and erythritol is one of them. Erythritol is a polyol that contains almost no calories and is considered safe for consumption of up to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight/day.
Its benefits
If we talk about natural sources of erythritol, it is found in fruits, vegetables and fermented beverages and its consumption is estimated to be 25 mg/person/day in the United States and 100 mg/person/day in Japan.
The benefit of erythritol is that it leaves no residual taste in food and can be used at high temperatures. It is absorbed in the small intestine, but not metabolized, so it has no effect on blood sugar levels, which is very beneficial for diabetics. It is also good for preventing tooth decay because it inhibits the growth of some oral bacteria and neutralizes the acidic ph levels caused by oral bacteria.
Moderate use of sugar
Sweeteners should be taken in moderation because we are not interested in our bodies getting used to sweetness and continue to rely on it while avoiding sugar and traditional sweets.
We have to educate the palate and get our bodies used to not relying on sweets, and this can only be done by limiting its consumption and gradually lowering the sweetness threshold to which we have become accustomed. Tricking your brain with super sweet foods based on sweeteners won't solve the problem.
Don't make desserts a habit. Put them outside your routine and only do them when you want to celebrate something or when you really want to change your routine.
Sugar-free recipes
Many people who are diabetic, pre-diabetic, have different metabolic diseases or are trying to lose weight, act in good faith that these recipes are for them, but the reality is very different.
Whether you have diabetes or not, whether you have a condition called metabolic syndrome* or not, if you want to eat healthy, at least none of these sugars are right for you you shouldn't abuse them.
To eliminate sugar consumption, you first need to know your true daily consumption and then take action. Try removing the sugar you add to your coffee and tea, or the sugar you add to your orange juice or yogurt.
If preparing a dessert one day gets you excited, sweeten it with erythritol and enjoy it as something special.
Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend
My take
It is suitable for consumption on a ketogenic diet and any "low-carb" diet.
Sweeteners are used in moderation, i.e. only for special occasions. For example, dessert for a birthday celebration on Sunday with the family or in a cake.
Don't get used to taking large amounts; if you need to sweeten your coffee, choose a small teaspoon and try reducing the dose until you can take nothing at all.
Educate your body, your brain, and your taste buds to lower the sweetness threshold in recipes, which is easy to achieve with erythritol because it's not as sweet.
