Believe it or not cholesterol has never been proven to be bad even though we've been told that

I stopped taking the statin. Stupid doctor doesn’t really care.

I don't believe it. The statistics prove that excess cholesterol causes arterial obstruction. Humans produce cholesterol - all animals (except for a few invertebrates) produce cholesterol. The human body produces enough cholesterol for its needs. Adding other cholesterols into the diet increases a person's chance for obesity, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), and heart disease. It has been proven, and it takes a few simple searches at highly recognized medical communities (John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Washington School of Medicine, etc.) to find well-researched studies that prove the negative effects of high cholesterol.

@@Thinkforyourselves64 - I'm sorry that your doctor doesn't care. I suggest that you alter your diet. Greatly reduce saturated fat, processed white sugar (try monk fruit), processed white flour (use whole grain flours), processed foods and fast food. Instead, eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans and legumes. I listen to many of the lessons from Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. He wrote the best-selling book, "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease." He is also one of the contributing doctors of the documentary, "Forks over Knives." That's a good video to watch. I think "Forks over Knives" is free to watch on KZfaq. I hope the best for you!

Very helpful. Not diabetic but do tend toward now blood sugar. Sugar causes insulin spikes for me. I am a "super taster" so like the monk fruit better. Stevia leaves an aftertaste where monk fruit doesn't, and even seems to improve flavor for me.

Im so glad you found a sweetener you enjoy :)

I enjoy using a Monkfruit/Erythritol blend when baking. You can blend it up, turning it into a powdered sugar texture, which might be more pleasant tasting for some. I love using the blend for making homemade strawberry jam as well.

@lindamcneil711 8 ай бұрын

Well done. While not diabetic, I do eat low carb and if we do sweet, we lean toward using natural sweeteners like monk fruit, allulose, and stevia.

I have used "Pure Sweet" brand of white stevia powder for well over a year. No ill effects from it but you do have to use care when handling it so you don't get a lot of it airborne and breathe it in. 62 yr male - in one year dropped 40# 225>185 and long time high blood pressure is now normal.

I’ve noticed that once I started cutting out sugar. I started sleeping better & I feel more energized. I replaced sugar with stevia & monk fruit. Sometimes I’ll use unsweetened applesauce as a sweetener for my oatmeal or Cream of Wheat.

@FearFanatic86 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info! I've been substituting sugar with stevia and/or monk fruit extract for awhile now in my cooking. I love the fact that it takes less the amount of regular sugar, but packs twice the sweetness. My dad has type II diabetes so it runs in my family, and I love sweetness in all my dishes. Of course everything should be used in moderation, but I'm so glad I found these alternatives!!

I was recently told that monk fruit was better for me. I just used some, and it has a weird aftertaste, but the monk fruit I have has erythritol as its first ingredient. I love my stevia packets by Stevia in the Raw. After so many decades of Sweet n Low (😑) and that aftertaste, I don't mind the aftertaste of stevia at all.

@Jesusbride515 5 ай бұрын

If I’m wrong, let me know. But I believe Stevia in the raw has dextrose and dextrose raises blood sugar. I have awesome whole earth Stevia erythritol monk fruit natural flavors packets, and they are excellent. I also have monk fruit erythritol from Costco.

My brother told me about RX sugar replacement ( Allulose). I have been using it in place of honey or stevia( sickening sweet for my taste). I find it tastes more like sugar but not super sweet. I have used it on my organic oats with berries, chia seeds, creamy Tahini or walnuts , Benefiber & cinnamon. That with Dave’s organic bread w only 1 gram of sugar from organic juices fuels me until 2:30-3 😋 12:30 No spike or crash later.

I’ve switched to monkfruit (pure) powder. I may try the liquid next time. I find it’s trial and error to get the right amount to hit that perfect “sweet spot”. 😊 I bought the Lakota at Walmart and was disappointed to see it had more erythritol than monk fruit. Unless it’s labeled non GMO I don’t want erythritol.

Unrefined sweeteners are always better. Stevia or monk fruit sweeteners are still refined sugar. Palmyra palm jaggery is a rare natural sweetener, providing some health benefits thanks to its unrefined processed method. It has low glycemic index, vitamins and minerals.
