Default Trying a new sweetener...

I have been trying a new sweetener - Swerve. I was looking for low-carb
recipes, and came across one that called for this. I looked it up on the
net, and ordered a pound.

It tastes as good as any no-calorie sweetener that I've tried, and it
has a few advantages over the others. It looks a lot like sugar; it's
actually granulated like sugar, and dissolves much like sugar. It
supposedly shares some other attributes with sugar, such as the ability
to brown, and it's supposed to hold up well in baking, although I
haven't tried either attribute yet. It has no bitter aftertaste that I
can tell.

One offputting quality is that it absorbs heat when it dissolves, which
means that if you use it undissolved, such as just eating a pinch from
the container, you will notice a distinct cooling sensation. This is not
a problem if you eat it after it is dissolved in something. It's also
not cheap, as you can imagine.

The SO, who is on the low-carb diet, likes it, although she didn't care
for the cooling effect. I hope to try cooking with it, perhaps even some
baking if I can find some good low-carb baking recipes.

I can't stand the cooling effect either. I just eat the real thing when I
want something sweet. Just not much of whatever it is.

Lotte makes a xylitol hard candy with a cooling mouth effect. It's great
stuff and comes in milk and lemon flavor. I think it's popular in Korea.
I buy the stuff whenever I can find it.

At 5g a tsp, it's not really very low carb either.

I mix erythritol with pure sucralose. Erythritol is thebest of the sugar
alcohols, but I don't perceive it as very sweet. Avoid the brand name
Swerve, and just buy erythritol by the pound.

It has no cooling effect if already dissolved in, say, lemonade. An
erythritol/sucralose blend is the best calorie free sweetener for
beverages.

Erythritol is the one sugar alcohol that is truly carb free, and basically
calorie free. It is only listed as a carbohydrate because the labeling
rules are stupid. Seriously. I know this stuff.

One thing I forgot to point out is that Swerve dissolves poorly in cold
liquids, unlike Equal or Splenda. I suspect this could be fixed if it
was in the same form as those products, that is, either finely powdered
or as "dried bubbles".

What form is erythritol usually sold as?

The texture is similar to sugar, but I put it in the blender with pure
sucralose, and it ends up more finely textured.

Yeah, because you aced your college freshman Chemistry class like I

I have PubMed, and know how to interpret the studies. You also have
access to PubMed, and know how to read scholarly articles. If you'd
bothered to look, you would support my statement. Is your dislike of me
more important to you than the facts? That's not a rhetorcal question.

My point is that while I fit many of the diagnostic criteria for
Bipolar Disorder, one I do NOT fit is doing poorly in school or
failing to achieve any noteworthy educational landmarks, like good
grades AND official degrees, of which I have 3 and YOU have none!

Have you gotten therapy fior your mental disorder? Because you need
it, and it seems to me that you may have.

My $1000 two day nursing job got postponed. What do YOU have that can
earn you $1000 in two days? Nothing, right? That's because you're
still going the same thing you were when we were teenagers, you're a
janitor with NO college degrees.

Wondering what you think is wrong with stevia? I didn't believe the
hype until I tasted a dried leaf from the stevia plant a friend had
grown.. OMG - it was super sweet! No idea how a non-GMO, organic
leaf can be that sweet... but it is.

And you're *not* doing the same thing as when we were in our early
twenties, which is having sex with attractive women, or in your case,
with a naive, 14 year old girl whom you fed drugs to, then tried to
groom for perverted sex. She finally tired of your abuse, and got far,
far away from your creepy ass.

You ****ing pathetic piece of flesh. You should die on the river. They
shouldn't let a sex pervert like you touch anyone's body, but they're
desperate for folks who'll deal with demented old men, and who actually
think that it's fun to wash their penises.

So, it's back to the sig file where I remind you about the genetic
garbage you're made of. You can't get rid of the sickness because you
ARE the sickness. The same thing, OVER, and OVER, and OVER, just like
your obsessive, out of control mother. She eventually did the right
thing. Kill yourself, Stalker John.

Nope! Bryan didn't get any therapy yet.

Please do so Bryan. You need it. See a psycatrist, and tell him that
your BSN educated NURSE "former friend" suspects you may have
Narcisstic Personality Disorder, and are there any recommended
therapies (medications, etc.) that may help you.

Part of Bryan's Narcisstic Personalty Disorder is his specious belief
that his perceptions of taste should be a universal standard.

Please forgive the mentally disabled boy!

The opinion of an LSD damaged statutory rapist and recovering sexual
predator with inherited mental flaws doesn't impress me. Kill yourself,
pervert.

The idea of your sick hands touching my daughter gives me the creeps,
and I don't even have a daughter.

There is evidence that it does raise BG levels in a lot of people too,
fortunately I am not one of them. I do prefer Nutri-Sweet for most things,
and I will use Sweetzfree for cooking.
