Sorbitol and Mrs. Buttersworth syrup good or bad?

(Heather Meyer) #1

K… so ive done my research and i was shocked to discover that xylitol does raise blood sugar higher than i thought it would. So i abandoned it and switched to Allulose( which has no effect on insulin)
I also abandoned Maltitol…its from the devil im sure.

But what about Sorbitol? There is a Sugar Free Mrs. Buttersworth Pancake Syrup and its sweetened with Sorbitol. So how bad is it on insulin compared to maltitol or xylitol?

Cause what ive noticed is… if i eat somthing like maltitol or even somthing with xylitol… i crave like crazy!

All sugar alcohols spike my blood glucose. Get a BG meter, you can find them cheap at Walmart and test to see what affects you. Stevia extract does not bother me, so I use it sparingly in my coffee.

It really varies from person to person. The only way for you to know if / how it affects you is to test it out :grin:

It’s been my experience that if you stop eating the sweet things you stop craving the sweet things. It could be that I just don’t dig the keto desserts in general so I just don’t bother anymore. Bit of 90% dark chocolate does the job for me.

Didn’t we effectively have this discussion on your accountability thread the other day? I believe we did :slight_smile:

It’s not just an increase in blood sugar or insulin that causes cravings - they sure as [spoiler]shit[/spoiler] don’t help - but a lack of nutrition will do it too. Eat some real food :slightly_smiling_face:

yes and i agree…sweets can trigger sweets in some… But its been really quite interesting…

On Xylitol(before i knew insulin effect)
I was eating sweets and i was always having cravings for sweets.

On Allulose my cravings have lessened and i can eat a swert and feel satisfied and not crave more.

So curious about Sorbitol… i suppose i could make my own syrup now

please correct me if I am wrong, but with the information from
https://www.medicinenet.com/sorbitol-oral/article.htm#what_is_sorbitol-oral,and_how_does_it_work(mechanism_of_action)?
it seems to me to be as bad as maltitol. I just recently made some mistakes in the sugar free candy section. I am planning on reverting to the homemade fatbomb route and going through my pantry again. great question and thanks for the thread.
