Monk fruit extract, without this stuff mixed in
- thisisscience 4y agoyea, but why? it looks cool and all, but at least sugar gives you nutrients (energy calories).
- KptMarchewa 4y agoThe problem with modern nutrition is that people consume too much calories, not too few.
- thisisscience 4y agoI'm pretty sure you're referring to the poor health outcomes correlating with high caloric intake, which afaict, come from people's consumption of heating oils (seed oils): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil There's bound to be mixups what talking about sugars and fats. But these fuel oils are really really bad for us. We've demonized sugars unnecessarily. Right?
- KptMarchewa 4y agoNo, exactly opposite. Fats are good, sugars are bad.
- Jarwain 4y agoGood fats are good, but there are bad fats too!
- culopatin 4y agoGet your nutrients from everything else, you don’t need sugar for nutrients, and that’s not why you put it in a chocolate cookie
- steveBK123 4y agoThe problem with monk fruit is that while it seems relatively benign on its own, many/most commercial products that claim to be "sweetened with monk fruit extract" actually have other cheaper commercial sweeteners mixed in. If you google "monk fruit extract diarrhea" theres a good amount out there on this. So you may switch to monk fruit thinking its a better alternative but actually be consuming erythritol anyway.
- culopatin 4y agoAns that’s why I said “without the other stuff mixed in”.
