Dr. DLG you just keep knocking it out of the park when it comes to teaching us. So thankful how much you offer us. You put any and all doctors I've ever come in contact with over the past 40 yrs to shame... Complacent, non compassionate, quantity over quality of care. No teaching and piss pore examination screenings and exams. If other doctors aren't honoring and praising what you're doing maybe it's time for them to find another career! Love you & nurse LG, your team and all your research!!

I can’t tolerate Stevia. Stevia acts as a diuretic and a vasodilator on me. Ended up 4x’s in the ER in 2022. Cut out Stevia and I’m fine now. I still mainly use Erythritol & Allulose now. Lost 150lbs on low carb healthy eating. From 321lbs to 170lbs. 62 years old.

How did you think to cut out Stevia? What do you mean when you say acts as a vasodilator?

Wow! Sounds like an allergic reaction.

[@jolemere479]

Gosh, I feel as though I just went to a “Sweeteners 101” class! I cannot thank you enough for this information! After I had pancreatitis/gallbladder attack last year, I had my gallbladder removed. Plus, they told me I had fatty liver and they did a biopsy because of scarring which turned out ok. I came home knowing I had to make lots of food, lifestyle changes so I started watching you and Dr Eric Berg on what do and how to do it. Not a fan of Keto so I do a Mediterranean style of eating, watch my carbs, processed foods, sugar etc. Really just a common sense approach. I’ve lost 50 lbs and still working on another 30 lbs. Thank you again for your research, your great advice, your good common sense approach when it comes to eating, food choices… practicality of these choices. I do take Terry Naturally Healthy Liver supplement. I cannot afford a lot of supplements! Better to make wiser choices in the kitchen than pop 20 supplements a day! I appreciate you!

[@KendrasBrain]

Most discussions involving stevia are referring to the processed stevia which is usually combined with other chemical sweeteners and is bleached. Stevia is a PLANT; capitalized for emphasis. I grow stevia, dry it and use it raw in small amounts. I don't use it for dieting rather as a replacement for adding sugar to my beverages. I use it in my French press coffee or in herb tea infusions etc. I doubt it has the same problems as processed stevia. Get a plant (or 5) and it comes back every year in zone 8 up.

[@Piamia1010]

That was exactly my question.. they’re using stevia that is highly processed and has other ingredients. I actually grew stevia plant! Again.. it’s a PLANT!

[@irical100]

Also the unique thing about Stevia is that it's a plant but the sweetness one tastes from it is not a plant sugar. I think that point is most often not discussed. It is a great sweetener in its unadulterated form

[@kraka2oanIner]

I use Stevia or Allulose. I need a much larger amount of Allulose to sweeten, but I understand that it's friendly to gut bacteria. The teeny spoon with Stevia indicates that much less is needed. It's organic, from the leaves. I make sure to stay away from the packets, since Maltodextrin is added. I'm okay with either of these.

[@KendrasBrain]

@@kraka2oanIner I always opt for the plant in any scenario. Especially when it's a perennial and comes back annually and can be harvested at least three-four solid times in zone 8 and in greenhouses or indoors anywhere else. It's tricky to germinate but I e had luck early in spring to find good sized plants in Lowes or nurseries. They should carry more but they don't so keep a lookout. I would cover it outside in an ice or snow situation. For the most part I e had 8 plants for ten years and replaced 1 or 2 every third or fourth years of there's been bad weather

Stevia is easy to keep the plant alive indoors. Different types and levels of sweetness in plants. I bought mine in April and it's producing new leaves inside as well as it did outside in a shady back yard. Just a few fresh leaves in my coffee mug is as sweet as a packet of processed.

Thank you for this in-depth and detailed research. I love your presentation. I have been listening to your KZbin videos for months and have participated in several challenges and master classes. I realized that I was addicted to sugar and switched from sugar to Splenda about 10 years ago. Last month I realized that I had become addicted to Splenda so I switched to monk fruit per your suggestion. The aftertaste is not palatable but I remind myself that I did not like Splenda when I first switched to it. Again, thank you for teaching proper nutrition to all of us.

This is such a good video. The biggest takeaway of this information is the phrase you used often is “ food by God”. Man is changing all natural foods by molecule changes (synthetic)to make the product they are making to take the place of a natural ingredient so they can register the new product as theirs. Then they have to try to get rid of the natural. Problem is, what did the molecule they got rid of do to the true nutrient that the molecule give us? Evidently a bunch as we are all having health issues that you brought out. Thanks for this.

I've also read that when your body processes sugar it makes its own erythritol. That's probably why there was so much in the bodies of those who already had heart and stroke issues. From the sugar not the added erythritol. They did not even say how much erythritol the subjects consumed!
