Erythritol taste

Still just sugar

Yeah zevia is super gross to me, too

#23

Stevia leaves me with a really bad bitter aftertaste, yet erythritol is fine. Xylitol is the other one i like. I think xylitol tastes the closest to sugar of all the sweeteners.

Most of the others are too fake tasting. All the fizzy drinks just taste of chemicals to me.

It’s not a chemical; it’s a sugar alcohol.

I know, but it tastes like chemicals. I understand the mechanics of it but can’t stand the taste.

Be aware that Xylitol can be lethal to Dogs. :dog: :dog2: :poodle:

#27

Yes, thanks.
Am very aware. I banned it from the house the day I discovered that factoid, and now only have it when out and about.

It has also made me paranoid about anyone giving the dogs ANYTHING that I haven’t vetted in detail. Did you know that there are some brands of peanut butter than now have xylitol in them! And some people give peanut butter to dogs as a treat. :persevere:

Usually it’s diet or light peanut butter.

Thanks, I did not know that! Makes me glad we don’t do much peanut better around here. :roll_eyes:
This one will beg you like you’ve never been begged before… :expressionless:

I’ve only tried the Swerve brand, but I was pleasantly surprised that there is no aftertaste (to my tastebuds). I cannot handle the taste of stevia, though. It’s so interesting how we all taste these things differently.

Me too, I have like 9 bags of it in my pantry, which sounds like a lot but it really isn’t. Each bag only has a cup and a half of their product. I wish they made bigger bags and priced them appropriately since you’re buying in bulk.

Email them and ask for a bulk buy. I don’t know if they have it in Australia but sounds like it’s worth checking out.
