Don't believe the negative hype.
I've got LADA which is treated as Type I Diabetes. I have to watch my carbs. Simple as that. You'll see a bunch of people complaining about how you shouldn't buy this product. "Its corn." As if corn wasn't a natural substance. "It's not organic." So what? I'd rather have sterile chemicals on my food products than feces. Here's the thing. Different strokes for different folks. There are some people who run into digestive problems with ANYTHING. And they tend to think, if it doesn't work for me, it won't work for you. And they also think they should try to paint the product as the spawn of satan. I don't roll that way. I tell people my experience and encourage them to make their own decision. I bake with this stuff. I put it in my coffee. I put it into simple syrups for zero carb cocktails. And it is wonderful. I also love that is a natural sugar. Yes, yes. It is made - in bulk - through an enzymatic process from corn. It is still found in regular foods. And if you complain about how "un-natural enzymatic processes are," then frankly you're simply ignorant. I'm not being insulting. I'm stating a fact. Because every time you take a bite of food, chew it up with your saliva, and swallow it, you have just subjected your food to an enzymatic process. Your saliva is full of enzymes. "Oh those are natural." Chemicals are chemicals. The source doesn't matter. Mercury is "natural." I don't suggest you take a big slug of that. Or how about lead? Oh, I know! Uranium! All natural!! And all will kill you. "Natural" isn't a good standard to go by. Don't fall for the marketing gimmicks that companies use to manipulate you into buying products. No, you do NOT need gluten free water. If someone tries to sell you a bottle of that, you need to understand that they think you are stupid. Buy products because of their specific value to you. I wish I could use sugar. It's delicious. But I can't. I don't like the artificial sweeteners. They all leave either a bitter after taste, or have weird cooling effects. The one I like the most is the pink stuff. We have nearly a century of data on its safety. But it's not perfect. I like allulose. It is a saccharide, as is sugar, that is found in the real foods we eat. Thank God that chemists have used their divine gifts to take this gift from nature and mass produce it! It has brought food joy back into my life. So try it. Maybe it will disagree with you. Or maybe it will help you meet your health goals while maintaining some degree of food joy. But decide for yourself. If I had listened to all the negative-nancy reviews, I'd have missed out. And that would have been a shame. I do wish it were a bit less expensive, but sugar used to be only for the wealthy. At least buying a pound of this isn't costing me a month's wages. And to me, the enjoyment I get from it, while it helps protect my health, is worth the price.
