Glad you’ve written this article, but I have a niggly grammar gripe. Using Affect as a verb is fine. Correct to say some sugars can AFFECT (verb) your blood glucose. But using it as a noun is misleading. You write that some sugars “have an AFFECT (noun)”. The noun to use here is EFFECT. The correct noun to use here is EFFECT – to have an effect on blood glucose. The noun “affect” means emotion or desire. I’m sure you didn’t mean to say “some sugars have an emotion or desire”!

In reply to K. Hi K! Lactilol is not approved for a ketogenic diet. This sweetener will influence your blood sugar, causing an insulin response, which we want to limit while following traditional ketogenic patterns

Erythritol made my feces smell horrible. Stevia tastes like engine oil. I will be using Xylitol till I find something better.

In reply to Jenna. We try not to use sucralose when possible (we sometimes get sugar free syrups at Starbucks though). It does not seem to spike our glucose. Swerve we do use in certain products and it doesn't seem to spike glucose.

In reply to Lara. Just FYI xylitol is deadly for dogs. My puppy got into some sugar free toothpaste that contained xylitol and we had to race her to the animal ER where she had to have her kidneys monitored for three days. So extra caution is needed with these things when pets are around.

In reply to Morgan. If it's just sucralose it doesn't contain carbs and shouldn't raise your blood sugar

In reply to Alvaro Munizaga. What about the skinny syrups? They have liquid sucralose

2 questions:

1. How about sucralose? There is this syrup that uses it along with grape juice concentrate. It’s by E.D. Smith and called “No Sugar added syrup: sweetened with sucralose”. How will this affect insulin and blood sugar?

2. How about SWERVE? I always hear about this product making it a popular keto sugar alternative. I think it’s made of erythritol and nd fermented glucose, I’m not sure.

But do you know about these products? I would love to hear feedback about these two products! 🙂
