Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the best sugar substitute I have used. It is so good, in fact, that my husband has started using it to make his sweet tea. This is important because a) hubby is diabetic, and b) Lakanto Monkfruit blend has a ZERO glycemic level, meaning it will NOT raise your blood sugar. That is important in weight loss and in maintaining a healthy a1c (according to hubby's doctor). I have read other comments and found that some people are criticizing Lakanto for the cost of this blend because it is purportedly mostly Erythritol.The truth is that none of us really knows how much Monkfruit and how much Erythritol there is in it because it is a proprietary blend. (People seem to be basing this claim on the 4 grams of sugar alcohols under carbs on the nutritional label, which would be the Erythritol). Monkfruit by itself is a very strong sweetener (estimated up to three-HUNDRED times the sweetness of sugar in its purest form, according to my online research - note - I am neither a doctor nor nutritionist so please do your own due diligence), so not much monkfruit is required for a lot of sweetening power. [Erythritol is a sugar alcohol. Since there are 4 carbs of "sugar alcohols" in Erythritol, this is considered by most modern carb counters to be ZERO net carbs. Sugar Alcohols do not impact your body, weight or glycemic index (GI) the same way as "regular" carbs or sugars. They are eliminated before impacting your GI. I'm just going to reiterate here - I don't care how much Erythritol there is when there is a product with very fine grains that dissolve smoothly and completely, even in cold iced tea, give major sweetening power without the cooling effect Erythritol is known for, and that personally, I don't care for, as that cooling effect reinforces the idea that this is NOT sugar. Monkfruit sweetens the closest to sugar of anything I've ever tasted. I'll be back for more!
