so today we’re gonna talk about the absolute worse sugar alcohol now the first thing you can know is that sugar alcohols are not alcohol it has nothing to do with alcohol so that’s one thing they’re basically low-calorie sweeteners that don’t get totally absorbed there’s something called a glycemic index which basically is things that you consume that spike the blood sugar the higher on the scale the worse the spike in blood sugar the lower on the scale the less the effect on blood sugars okay so we want a zero effect if possible on the glycemic index as being a good sweetener a wreath rotol will give you a zero effect okay so it has it does not spike your blood sugars at all some people have a lot of bloating sometimes people don’t like this because it’s very cold it gives a really cold sensation but it’s in using a lot of different things okay xylitol has 13 so that’s pretty low that’s the one I like so it’s not zero it has a slight effect if you’re having just a small amount it’s gonna be okay but just make sure that any time you’re doing these it’s a organic or non-gmo product sorbitol is 9 that’s pretty low isomalt 9 lacked at all 6 and mannitol is zero certain doctors use this for glaucoma they will inject you to actually help intracranial pressure as well I don’t actually recommend this one even though it’s zero but the worst one is maltitol there’s a glycemic index of 52 I mean table sugar is 62 or 63 so this is crazy high so this is going to spike your blood Sugar’s big-time so maltitol is the one that you want to avoid and also there’s a bunch of other ones that I didn’t list as well but I’m just kind of giving the basic ones and of course I’m assuming you already know to avoid the artificial sweeteners like aspartame which comes as equal or NutraSweet or saccharine which is sweet and low or sucralose which is Splenda so I’m assuming you know you already know that these are not very good they create problems with your microbiome your microbes you’re friendly bacteria in your gut they create fluid attention they’re linked to insulin resistance a lot of other issues stevia is a really good sweetener monk fruit is good inulin is a fiber a lot of people are using that sometimes you might get too bloated if you have too much so it’s always a balance of trying to find a sweetener that it’s very similar to sugar that doesn’t have an aftertaste okay that doesn’t affect the blood sugars but then doesn’t give you the bloating the gas in the diarrhea so different people react differently with different sweeteners so you just have to test it out and see what works good for you all right well thank you so much for watching hey guys so there’s a whole bunch of people that really need this information so press the share button and let’s get it way out there
