Hi, Xiquillo!I am not an expert in sweeteners because the truth is that apart from saccharin (in coffee) we do not use any.Some because they do not sweeten or bitter and others because they do not feel good and also raise blood glucose (polyalcohols).There was a season that we made homemade desserts with fructose, until we realized that the climb was the same as with normal sugar.So now my daughter takes normal desserts, when you feel like it, and all you do is put two more fast units.After all, it is the most natural.

Hello!I use Stevia and the truth is that with a little sweetener and the flavor it gives is great apart from the fact that it has neither carbohydrates nor calories.For me it is the best sweetener I've tried so far.They send it to me from Latin America but I know that online they also sell what it is not is reliable or not.
All the best.

Hello everyone

I put you again the message I have put in another thread because here I think it is better:

It is the first time that I write in this thread and I do not know if it is correct, I am a diabetic (bomb user) and I am a little fed up with the artificial sweeteners, but of course the fructose is not the solution either.My homeopath sent me to take a natural sweetener called Stevia.The truth is that for infusions it is very good but since it has a certain licorice flavor it does not use me for all foods (eg a natural yogurt, fruit ...).
I have investigated online and I have found a new natural sweetener called Tagatosa and is marketed as Tagatesse, they put it very well and I am curious to know if any of you has tried it.They sell it on the Mercadiabetic website and wanted to know TB if any of you has bought it.

Thanks and greetings ..... Virginia

By the way I buy the stevia in a herbalist, this liquid and in saccharin type pills and here in Alicante it is super easy to find ......

Xiquillo71, if the cyclamate does not sound highly recommended or confess much in it ..... the aspartamo is worse !!!I encourage you to look for information about Aspartamo (E-951), because in addition to sweetening it is a poison that accumulates in the body and is unable to discard.It also produces the excitement of the neurons to such an extent that it bursts them, damages the view and it seems that it is the cause of a multitude of tumors.
It is also interesting to know the way in which the aspartamo was legalized and went on the market ... (a fairly doubtful form and controls by the way).
Here you have a link where there is enough information about the aspartamo, I still encourage you to document you since it seems that this substance is not as harmless as they tell us.More than 5000 products on the market carry aspartamo ...

I agree that Stevia is the best sweetener that we can take the diabetics, since in addition to sweetening, it reduces sugar levels, hypertension, it is diuretic and especially ... it is natural !!!

Let's see, Stevia does not reduce the levels of sugar or control the hypertension and I doubt it is diuretic ... at most it can make me grow from my 1.65 to 1.85 dreamed: twisted:

Like any other substance, including aspartamo, parsley, cauliflower and stevia .... taken in large quantities they are toxic and potentially mortal.

Mable and moderation ... 2 tablets a day I don't think they kill us, or at least they won't kill us as much as other things (pollution, stress, inept matasanos ....)

I think like Owash.The amounts that we can take weekly from these sweeteners does not even close to those considered toxic.

I believe that on the Internet there are many campaigns and a lot of misinformation on the subject sweeteners.Everything has been said for many years when saccharin began.We are going to worry about the alleged neurons killed by a sweetener and we don't care about the low quality of a sausage, for example?or for the chemical waste we eat in the vegetables?Or for a thousand more things ... let's be serious, for God.And let's not get carried away by tremendism and absurd.Or we care about everything or nothing.

I agree that, at the doses that are taken, it is almost impossible that there may be problems.

On the other hand, Celia has tried Stevia (thanks, Ana) and loves.It has a pleasant and less metallic taste than other sweeteners, and sweetens a lot, so much that the first yogurt that sweetened with Stevia had to throw it, because it put two teaspoons of the lowercase that the boat brings, and left over with average.

Of course, everything in large quantities goes from being beneficial or harmless to toxic.The problem is not that you take two cake aspartamo pills (which is already ...), the problem comes from the products that are sold as light and that are sweetened with Aspartamo.There varies the recommended dose and the one they put in these products far exceed the recommended level.I am very sorry that you have so much faith in the aspartamo ... because they are deceiving you (it is not beneficial, quite the opposite).Anyway ... Everyone is "free" to do what you want with your life, although I recommend you inform you more thoroughly about the aspartamo and not trust Light products so much.
And on the other hand we have the Stevia or natural sweetener, which although many doubt of its properties are not few and we can still find it "healthy" (Coca Cola and other companies want to buy the patent of the Stevia, manipulate it genetically and take away its active substance activewhich is the one that gives the plant its properties, in order to only take advantage of sweetening power and take out its coca coats with Stevia (false Stevia because it will be manipulated) ...

I took cyclamate, and I went to Stevia dust ... and do you say that is dangerous too?I am considering taking honey simply, it is worth stopping lights, and forgetting the drug that is sweet, although it is complicated ... I think for everyone, seen that there is no solution so as not to have complications with our disease.

Stevia is not bad.The bad can be if any company adulterated (as you can do with anything else) what you have to do is buy it in reliable places and read the labeling to see that it is natural.

€ 7.50 A box of 300 tablets!?: Shock :: Shock :, Better than for that price you can do biscuits with him, I say it because I gave up doing them with artificial sweeteners, they do not upload enough to me, they do not come as fluffy and do not know the same, and it is that I do not findNothing that can be used for the oven ... In the end I do them with azucar brunette, they get great and you are died ..., simply calculate the portions and that's it, and for the other saccharina brand Mercadona, hot pills, cold fluid (ice cream, mouses, lemonades, smoothies, jelly ...)

Hello Helora,

To cook two: the agave and tagatose syrup.The syrup must be counted in the final CH, but the tagatosa is not necessary and has a texture very similar to sugar with which it is great in the pastry.

For coffee I use the typical tablets of the landowner (I think it is saccharin and cyclamate).

All the best,
