ABOUT THOSE SWEETENERS . . .
The sweeteners may sound strange if you haven’t heard of them before. They both come from natural sources and are safe to use in any quantity.
Stevia is extracted from the leaves of a plant called Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia has zero calories and contains some beneficial micronutrients like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. It’s readily available in liquid or powder form online and in most supermarkets.
It’s much sweeter than sugar, so containers are usually very small—you won’t need nearly as much.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is low in calories, about 70 percent as sweet as sugar, and can be found naturally in some fruits and vegetables. Sugar alcohols are indigestible by the human body, so erythritol cannot raise your blood sugar or insulin levels. Several studies have proven it to be safe. Sugar alcohols can sometimes cause temporary digestive discomfort, but out of the few available sugar alcohols like xylitol, maltitol, and sorbitol, erythritol is considered to be the most forgiving and best for everyday use.
