Artificial Sweeteners: What You Don’t Know May Kill You

Since everyone has a sweet-tooth to some extent, knowing what each sweetener actually is, its effectiveness, side effects, and which are known toxins is important to know. This is a first in a series on artificial sweeteners and ‘natural’ sweeteners commonly used. We’ll cover why some are considered toxic,what problems with some of the others are, and which are considered safe and possibly useful.

 The list we’ll cover list in the order of usability.

 Best
Don’t use any sweetener at all. 
While on keto your desire for sweet food will diminish and the fewer you have the faster you will reach that point. Some sweeteners are know to spike your insulin…without increasing your glucose…so thinking it through on why you want to use a particular sweetener a head of time my change your desire of needing a sweetener at all.

 If you have to 
Stevia 
Xylitol (be careful around your pets, especially dogs)

 Haven’t tried but have read good things about this.

Allulose
