In this video, I will review Monk Fruit's medicinal properties (in the treatment of diabetes, cancer, and inflammatory disorders, like asthma). I will also review Monk Fruit's SAFETY profile and will discuss who should reconsider consuming it.

Monk fruit is very popular in Thailand too! It was introduced by Chinese immigrants about 60-70 years ago and known as Lor Hung Guay drink (monk fruit juice)Nowadays, the drink is very popular throughout the country. Most restaurants especially the ones that owned by Thai-Chineses have the drink to offer you. People can also find the drink in all 7-11 or most convenient stores in our country. I started to reduce a large amount of sugar and replace it with monk fruit. I bought “XPRS Nutra brand” because it’s extract power, small bottle and I can bring with me everywhere. The brand also claims that there are 25% mogroside.

Hello Dr Kim Thanks for taking the time to do the videos about sweeteners. I have been using the 100% MONK DROPS (liquid) sold on amazon and another brand by XPRS NUTRA in very fine powder form which is also sold on amazon. I read the reviews and thought these two product claim as 100% so, I am using these two so far. I did read some time ago that study shows in Mice that it makes heart swelling for allulose. I could be two times of your age and I am not diabetic. For the first time my Hemoglobin A1C was one point high last year. From next day, I started researching for an alternative sweetener and started using the above two brands Monk Fruit sweetener. I am always under 105 but from last year my weight has come down to 97. I am not on any medication but do have thyroid nodules. After watching your videos on Allulose and Monk Fruit and you mentioned to write comments which brand and why we chose this brand I am writing this comment. I also had UTI infection may be three time in 7 years. Also At Least one time I wake up in the night to go the bathroom.

I use Monkfruit as a sweetener because I don't need much to sweeten my coffee and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. I use the enlight brand I picked it because it says just pure Monkfriut extract. I also used Allulose too. To me these are the only two sweeteners I trust. I stay away from anything with a high glycemic index but if I do once in a while want to take a break and use a sweetener those are the two best for me. Allulose is really great yet not quite as sweet as Monk fruit. I have also experimented with combining them and got good results.

I do consider being specifically sought after and propagated by monks for its benefits for hundreds of years, so much so that it is named after monks, a type of human trial. I also consider something that increases dangerous bacteria, as allulose can, a really big red flag. Since our modern diet decimates good bacteria and overgrows bad bacteria already, creating an epidemic of the diseases that shouldn't have these bad bacteria. We don't even know we have these diseases until they progress to the significant damage stage. While it is getting established we are always in the dark. As well monk fruit is whole or moderately processed, either dehydrated juice or super blended and dehydrated. But allulose is an extract which normally in our food is balanced by the rest of the food it is extracted out of, and we are always getting in trouble with these kinds of extracted, processed additives. No one says oh don't eat corn or sea weed, but inevitably the little bit we separate out and use in significant higher amounts turn out to cause cancer or some other problem. Even though I'm not necessarily against them in moderation I'm definitely not seeking them out on purpose. These additives on top of what we've removed is the single biggest health destroyer of our modern age.

Are you certain what you tried was ONLY monk fruit? It is extremely common for "monk fruit" labeled products to have the #1 ingredient actually be Erythritol, especially in powdered forms. Lakanto is a HUGE brand that is sold all over (Wal-Mart, etc) and the first ingredient (meaning the most in the bag) on their "Monk Fruit Sweetener" is Erythritol, not monk fruit. Erythritol gave me a heart rush / palpitations when I first tried it 10-12 years ago and I've avoided it ever since. I have been using pure monk fruit extract drops in liquid form regularly for about two years now with absolutely zero issues and certainly no heart palpitations. Good luck either way, I wish you good health no matter what works for you.

For everyone spouting off about the erythritol study that refers to the "potential dangers of erythritol", this study was done before erythritol sweetener was available to consumers.

yes, pure is the way to go! so many of the brands out there have added sugar alcohols

Monk fruit doesn't affect the gut microbiome like stevia does and all the other sweeteners.

I use monk fruit sugar but tasteless if you put little not same as what they claimed to be 200x sweeter than ordinaru sugar. But if I put more, I feel dry mouth as if the content is erythritol. I lose confident to continue using this. Better use coconut sugar by the village industry. I is not zero calorie but less GI than table sugar and no dangerous chemical.

I use pure organic stevia the powder version nothing else in it. I'm not a diabetic. I eat very low carb almost carnivore. I check my blood sugar 1 hour after I eat and 2 hours after to keep track of any major spikes so I don't become a diabetic. I do this so I know what food to avoid. Stevia doesn't cause any spikes or break my fast at all. I also like that you only have to use a tiny bit to sweeten something. I also like that it comes from a plant and not a bunch of chemicals or whatever else they put in sweeteners like Splenda, Aspartame etc that my body can't metabolize. I also like the taste of stevia.

Hi, at 4:52 you show a quote (highlighted in yellow) which ends with the words "..and the advantage of being clean label". What does that mean exactly "clean label", is Stevia not that or?
