I used to drink diet coke. Regular soda was too sweet. But mostly I wanted to eat my calories not drink them.

[@CindiTrunkDeseretAcademy]

I appreciate so much your discussion on sucralose. Of course, I've heard Chris's excellent explanation, but as you know, people often don't want to hear facts when they've already made up their minds. Hearing people criticize Ketochow (of which I am a huge fan) because it uses sucralose is very frustrating to me. I also buy bottles of it to sweeten other things. To me, it is one of the sweeteners least likely to mess up my biome because of the infinitesimal amount needed compared to other sweeteners (especially sugar). I am also frustrated when people say KC is not carnivore because the amount of non-carnivore ingredients is tinier than the seasonings most people put on their steak. I rationalize the non-carnivore ingredients the way others do seasonings. Regardless, we all have to do our own path as you said. P.S. Cats are smart enough to take over the world. They're just too lazy to do so.

[@LearningGrace]

Wow, I like KetoChow. I have temporarily stayed away from it while I’m detoxing and eating 100% Whole Foods, but I do think KetoChow is great. It’s so weird how we have so many experts and no real good independent research.

[@LoveWinsMovement]

Yeah ... I'm still a huge NO to sucralose and maltodextrin but like you Steve I agree these are personal choices we each have make and live with. Also I think for me what I look at first & foremost is my own blood glucose reactions. Sucralose & maltodextrin absolutely trigger a glucose / insulin response 'for me'.

[@heatherhanson7245]

Same with me. 😊

[@prunelle19]

It's the maltodextrin that is the problem, not the Sucralose

[@LoveWinsMovement]

@@prunelle19 ... For me it's both according to my testing and digestive reactions.

Well said and can't agree more!!

[@LearningGrace]

100% AGREE. And it’s also happening in the pet food industry. My vet almost dropped up because I wanted to start making my dog his meals. He has autoimmune disorders and my guess is that it comes from the dry kibble. Then he told me a place I must go online to get recipes and THEY practically scare you into purchasing their supplements in order to make the recipe. It’s nuts. I recall years ago giving our dogs leftovers and nobody was concerned and our dogs didn’t get immune disorders or cancer. I just want to know what the FDA has been doing besides making a lot money for themselves.

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

[@deedee67888]

I use sucralose to sweeten my morning tea. I've been doing that since I gave up sugar about 15 years ago and I haven't had any GI issues. My other go-to is allulose; I can't wait for a study to dissuade us from using that one, too.

[@judyduran2306]

I love liquid Sucralose. If it's safe enough for 2KK, Chris Bair, you and others, it's safe enough for me. 2 drops sweetens almost anything! I think it definitely got it's bad rep because it was paired with Maltodextrin in the Splenda packets. ❤️🥰❤️

[@eldenl1]

They tried vilifying sweet n low back in 1977 saying it caused cancer in laboratory rats. Decades later (1999) they had to admit they gave the rats an equivalent of a person drinking 800 diets sodas a day for a lifetime. So I guess "scientists" haven't improved on the so called "scientific method" in 45 years. Slow learners I guess.

[@crazymommadramalife3498]

Yes, I like the liquid too it doesn't have the maltodextrin. I don't like stevia or monk fruit, sucrulose is the only one I can tolerate. I do like erythritol, but the only liquid version I've seen is work stevia.

[@stephanieilluzzi7355]

I must try the liquid Sucralose! So you’re saying (and I believe Steve did as well) that the Maltodextrin is what we really need to avoid, yes? Thanks for this tip! ☺️

[@crazymommadramalife3498]

@@stephanieilluzzi7355 yes, maltodextrin can spike blood sugars and has a lot of bad side effects they use it as a bulking agent (like he said). The liquid is more concentrated, so it doesn't need it. A little goes a long way!

[@milstringfellow6283]

On your comment about poisoning dosage. I remember reading 15 years ago, arsenic is in almost all foods. We eat it every day, but it doesn't kill us because it's in such a low "dose". So, you're correct, poison is not poison unless it is in a higher dose that does harm. Just my thoughts. Any doubters, Google it.

[@SeriousKeto]

similarly, a number of foods, including almonds, spinach, lima beans, and bamboo shoots contain cyanide.

[@recreatingkaren]

Couple things - THANK YOU for addressing sucralose. I'm with you 100% in it and incorporate it regularly with no issue, but I couldn't agree more that folks have to make that decision for themselves. Second - I laughed hysterically at the whole "ketchup packet to scrape off the onions" thing and experienced a little childhood PTSD with that one. 🤣

[@waynefoutz]

Your point on water is correct. A little over fifteen years ago, a radio station held a contest for a Nintendo console, and the contest was the contestants had to drink massive amounts of water. A person died because of it.

[@SeriousKeto]

Yikes.

[@karenlemke8162]

I remember that!

[@hvnbndmatron4672]

I also remember that. The amount of water got the sodium level in the blood to dilute out so low that the brain couldn’t function properly and went into a coma and then died cause it couldn’t signal the diaphragm to breathe.

[@rebeccabaxterbard8073]

Steve, you are one of the few youtuber's whose opinions I really respect. I personally think if there is any poison to avoid in food, it is Aspertame but while I avoid that 100%, I also have refused to consume Splenda based on what you just pointed out may well be hearsay. This is ironic because I am a nutjob with research on everything in my life; I'll spend 3 days down the rabbithole to find the "best" tires for my old beater, lol. I spend almost all of my free time helping friends research medical issues, treatments, or nutritional deficiencies but I'm skipping Splenda with ZERO personal research. Probably this stems from my natural distrust of big food companies and their tendency to not give a sh%t what they use that might hurt people. Nevertheless, I think I will reconsider this stance and do some research of my own now. The story I had heard was that a well designed human study measured the Splenda grams each individual ate (not an excessive amount like the mice, but "normal" usage amounts) and then evaluated their urine to see how much came out. Supposedly, Sucralose can't be absorbed by digestion which is why it is not adding calories, etc. But what goes in, must come out. I guess the study showed that you don't get rid of all of it and it slowly accumulates in your body causing unknown problems. Now, maybe this is complete BS or maybe there is a kernel of truth hidden in the study if it even actually exists! I am super curious now because of you. I have also been wondering lately about it because I notice that it says the same thing on the Allulose package about not being absorbed. And not to mention the words "Allulose" & "Sucralose" share the "ullose/allose" suffix and that makes me wonder about their molecular similarity.....I'm going to have to go in deep on this one, lol. I'll report back if I decide I can start hitting the Splenda hard after all this time! Thanks again Steve for all the effort you put into your videos!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

This one DR. still working with heart patients, said anything that ends with LOSE should not be taken....that is why so many people are having GUT ISSUES...says STEVIA is your best bet....and another blog I watch she grows her own STEVIA PLANT and lets it dry and grinds it up fine to sweeten what she makes or drinks..... this is really the way to go....grow your own, that way you know where it came from and how it was made, no additives added, just the stevia plant....and keeps it after it's dried & ground in a glass jar....she is a homesteader and they grow over 90% of their own food......

[@charlottebowen1771]

Steve, I am so proud of you for doing the kick boxing. Love your videos.

[@freddobbs4059]

Sucralose. I can't say that it *is* poison. But it is in the same class of compounds as some of the most toxic poisons made, Organohalides. But, as you correctly point out, the poison is in the dose. So, I stand firmly on the fence on this one.

[@informedlady]

Coming back months later to say I LOVE sucralose so much, and in my humble opinion nothing ruins a sugar free product faster than swapping the sweetener over to stevia! Thanks for the great info that makes me feel even better about my love of sucralose (which, by the way, I probably consume 1 or 2 every few weeks anyway)

[@prunelle19]

I'm so glad that you talked about Sucralose : I dislike the taste of Stevia and have been avoiding it. Although I have lost my taste for sweet, i have been trying erythritol in some recipe for my daughter who's trying to go keto but I not too happy with it. Fortunaly, I live in France and I have found a product with Sucralose that tastes really good, like sugar: it's 99.88% erythritol and 0.22% Sucralose. It's sweeter than sugar and ît's recommanded to use 1/2 the amount of sugar in a recipe, so it's end up to be cheaper than plain erythritol. I'm seriously suspecting that the Sucralose bashing is promoted secretly by Stevia to discredit a competitor. For those who would ask the name brand of this sweetener is Sugarly, it's available in Europe but I don't think it's sold in the USA

[@plumeria8357]

I don’t like stevia unless it is organic. The organic is great tasting for some reason.

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

Yes, stevia, A PLANT, is conspiring. Also one that's just as hormonal disruptor as sucralose and all others.

[@cyndimanka]

You are so right. People are going to criticize you no matter what you do. I do things different than the next person. That doesn’t make me right or wrong. It makes me doing what I do that works for me. What I do is carnivore and I walk almost every morning and I come home and do weights/Bands. Everybody has a different schedule of what they’re doing in a day. I have to go to my moms at 9 o’clock in the morning and make sure she gets breakfast and everything because she has dementia and she’s just not quite with it these days. I’m very busy. I have to shop for her. I have to cook for her. I have to water her yard. By the time I get back home, I have to do my own stuff. We eat very simply there are no recipes. It’s just meat and maybe a side dish for my husband. I eat eggs to.

I switched to diet soda almost thirty years ago when they switched from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup. I liked the taste better, and it wasn't sticky like syrup. It had NOTHING to do with losing weight at the time.

I use this really good Lipton tea called Southern Sweet. I use half the bags needed for a gallon (2) since it's sweet to begin with. There is no maltodextrin in it. I then add 3 personal bags of decaf green tea and 2 bags of Orange spice tea. Tested my glucose and then drank 20 oz. 45 minutes later my glucose went down. And I'm a diabetic. So at least for me Sucralose does nothing to my blood sugar in the dose I use. Also Steve I saw your video on my side bar but didn't get an alert.

I was apprehensive about the sucralose because I thought it was bad. You have allayed my fears. Thank you very much. The timing on this is perfect!

[@skywarrior00]

I've had my Rec-Tec for over 4 years now and still love it. The computer was flooded by a Florida storm a couple years ago and they sent me a new board, even after I candidly admitted to forgetting to cover it. The only drawback to the smoker that I've encountered is the almost complete lack of smoke from the dripping fat and char since since the heat shield and drip pan are so effective in preventing that. So, there is some grilled flavor lost that way. But I think you will never tire of being able to put a big chunk of meat on in the evening and just going to bed, knowing the smoker will do it's thing all night. I'm sure other smokers are good too and I'm not disparaging them but the Rec-Tec is pretty awesome.

[@SeriousKeto]

I agree with your mild drawbacks. Fortunately, I also have a Kamado-style grill if I want to get that charcoal/smoke combo.

[@Bogie6588]

Finally, I meet someone else who prefers (or preferred) diet sodas over regular sodas, but because of taste rather than diabetes, weight loss, etc. I love sweet foods, but I've never been a fan of overly sweet beverages. Even as a skinny, healthy, Southern-raised kid, I preferred "somewhat" sweetened iced tea. My cousins, on the other hand, drank tea that was more like syrup! LOL!

Interesting about Maltodextrin in the artificial sweeteners. I personally have an adverse reaction (extreme irritability-anger issues) when I consume highly refined sugar. I found I have the same issues when I accidentally consume maltodextrin. After being keto for several months, we made something with Splenda and my husband thought I had accidentally consumed refined sugar. It has a Jekyll/Hyde affect on me.

[@NumberSixAtTheVillage]

I was surprised to hear you're pro sucralose considering most in the keto community frown on it. To be fair, alot of the "community" thinks anything even partly artificial is terrible for you. I've been using sucralose in some form or other for over 10 years -- although since learning about Splenda I've since switched to pure sucralose powder. Sucralose , to me, is still the best tasting artificial sweetener, and I don't think it gives me any GI problems. Good video, as always, Steve.

A lot of people in the keto community can be awfully dogmatic and just regurgitate what their chosen influencer tells them is “approved”.

[@marlajowens]

Hi Steve! Marla here from Iowa. Thank you so much for this video. Your information is always so valuable and informative. I have a friend who always tells me I’m going to die if I continue being on Keto. She tells me I should never drink diet drinks or use Keto Chow. I have one Keto chow for my last meal of the day. I only eat a meal between 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. I drink my Keto chow at around 5 or 5:30 p.m. as my last meal. I always wondered how much sucralose is in the little packets. So thank you for this information. I will continue with my Keto Chow. I have lost 105 pounds on Keto and have been on it since October 21, 2021. I’m still trying to lose 26 more pounds. They aren’t coming off as quickly. I have been stalled for several months now. But I have continued to lose inches. Keto has been great for me and my husband. I have cut down on my diet soda consumption and drink mostly water and Hot Cinnamon tea with no sugar or sugar substitute in it. I love my tea straight without additives. But I still drink a diet Dr. Pepper every now and then. I see your guitars in the background. Maybe you could play a song for us sometime. Again thank you for all you do to keep us informed.

I switched from regular soda to diet decades ago. Eventually, I figured out that I still like soda sweetened with sugar, but not soda sweetened with corn syrup. My husband is allergic to processed corn, especially syrup, so there's that, too. We don't drink much soda now.

Back in the day one of my favorite afternoon snacks was ... a snickers bar and diet coke. Yeah. 🙂

[@SeriousKeto]

I chuckled because I was the same - especially frozen Snickers.

Oh my, I remember those days. Great for a hangover lol.

I never liked diet soda. I have tried a few artificial sweeteners and discovered I just don’t like the after taste they leave. I don’t eat milk chocolates, too sweet, only dark chocolate that is at least 60%. I quit eating many processed foods because of the amount of sugar in them! Now I am trying to figure out what sweetener to use for some of the recipes. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to hear them! This is my second video that I watched here, the first being your chaffles. Love your input!

I've really gravitated toward allulose for most recipes. A small percentage of people experience gastrointestinal issues from it, though.

The whole ordering a diet soda with fast food thing to "balance things out"....was a thing. 😂. It was a compromise...you still got the fizz & caffeine hit. At aome point I had to switch from real to diet when i ate 🍕. For some reason, the sugar soda & pizza cheese combined to upset my stomach. Early years = clueless. I wish i knew thrn what i know now.

Loved your story about the kick boxing

The first rule of keto fight club is…… Eh never mind everyone talks about keto and every major food brand uses the name now.

I guessed onion. It happens that I experienced the same McDonald's time capsule you did. Only hamburger joint in town and I used the ketchup packet to scrape those little square dices of onion off my burger and bun as well. Good times.

[@SeriousKeto]

Those were the days… 😉

Your story about Floyd gave me a much needed chuckle 😂 Loved the stories. Love your channel.

I don't like sweet drinks even non sugar sweeteners. I do, however have a sweet tooth. I crave chocolate. I've been using unsweetened chocolate chips with some monk fruit (like Lakanto), heavy cream, and cream cheese to have a chocolat treat. I've been having to freeze the strawberries from my garden because I think they are the culprit as to why I am not loosing weight. Maybe I'm just eating too much fat. Hahaha, no ad for splenda, but I got one for a box of Japanese snacks.

The safest for me is pink packet sacharrine. It caused tumors in mice, and it still is the only thing I feel confident I can lose weight with... old school for sure.

[@SeriousKeto]

That study was also quite flawed.

[@karladick8514]

The lie surprised me. My husband has eaten onions like apples all his life. His whole family does.

[@KandMe1]

Came up with a great recipe but found the moistened coconut has sugar so need to find a new way to moisten the coconut myself rather than buy it moistened. I got a really good recipe, really good but yeah sweetener is a problem needs solving. We need to learn more on the details about sweeteners.

[@TerranceClayton]

Grew up in Janesville and went to Happy Joe's there many times!

My ad was Chick-fil-A😂

[@hazelfox5613]

So funny! Floyd was a genius cat!

[@johnrule108]

If you're interested, take a look for Bret Weinstein's work on telomere length in lab mice. His argument is that there is a problem with the mice used in lab testing such that clinical trial results are not accurate.

[@SeriousKeto]

Interesting...

[@Mrs.Jones_]

Thanks for the great stories! What a fun episode. I’d love to hear more Floyd stories.
