~ Health Tip - Erythritol ~
I’ve had several people come in recently with treats made using erythritol, and none of them have tested well for their bodies.
With the holidays quickly approaching, I want to make sure you know where erythritol commonly shows up so you can keep an eye out for it.
Erythritol is most often found in “sugar-free” or “low-sugar” products, including:
• Baked goods
• Candy
• Ice cream
• Chewing gum
• Diet or “zero” sodas
If you’re bringing treats to gatherings or buying holiday snacks, take a moment to check the ingredient list—especially if you’ve noticed your body reacting to sugar substitutes.
If you are baking, here are some options you can use: Sucanat whole cane sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey.
