Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 I know nothing about Erythritol but do have some concerns about the first website. I can't put much trust or credibility in a site that also states Aspartame and Ace-K are safe and good sweeteners. I will keep looking for more info.

I looked up Erythritol & did not find anything much except by the industry which promotes its use. Let us say I am dubious for now as to its safety. Below are a few snippets of what I did find. I just do not like the idea of chemicals which are absorbed into the blood thru the intestines, but serve no purpose whatsoever & which then must be removed by the kidneys. Excerpts plus referencing URLs below: +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ERYTHRITOL is a safe sugar substitute which is safer than aspartame and saccharin and tastes better and is easier to use than stevia. It looks and cooks like sucrose with no aftertaste and supplies only about 0.2 Calorie per gram! Essentially none! It has a pleasant cooling effect in the mouth and ranks a zero on the glycemic index. Presently a sensation in Japan, it is only just being introduced in the USA. Can not be used by harmful bacteria or yeast in the mouth or gut. Rated GRAS by the FDA, This is a top choice for diabetics and low-carb diets. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. http://www.nbizz.com/longevityclinic/listings/162.html Erythritol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) which is absorbed from the small intestine in substantial amounts, not metabolized in the human body, and therefore excreted in the urine. http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=10020 Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Ken - reading the info on these sites I would say without hesitation that I will be steering well clear of the product which is why I posted the sites that I found. None of them would inspire me to use the product. Marianne > I know nothing about Erythritol but do have some concerns about the first > website.
