In the studies that have been done until now, the serum glucose and insulin levels in normal and diabetic subjects after ingestion of 20-65 g of erythritol were essentially unchanged. The graph below (from Livesey 2003) shows the glycemic curves for erythritol (dots), xylitol (short dashes), sorbitol (longer dashes) and mannitol (averagely-thick, solid line). The thick solid line is sucrose and the thin solid line is glucose. |
First of all... AWESOME GRAPH AND POST!
Second, I must a little slow on the uptake. Are you saying that 1 g is all that is needed to knock the CCLL out of whack, or are you saying that the 20 g really count and this is why it messes with the CCLL?
Also, the graph seems to support what I thought about erythritol having the "best" effect on blood sugar than the other sweeteners. So, if the above it true (about the carbs) than something's not adding up.
I refuse to use Splenda, so I guess my question is the following:
During induction, can I use erythritol to sweeten my herbal tea and decaf coffee?
