Five Best Sugar Substitutes | Dr. Josh Axe
5 Best Sugar Substitutes: http://bit.ly/2Bd9ZLK
Today I’m going to share my top five sugar replacements. Many people are over-consuming high fructose corn syrup and processed sugars, so I’m going to go over my top five sweeteners that you can easily replace them with. Although these sweeteners may benefit your health and are better than processed sugar, I would recommend consuming them in moderation.
1. Pure raw honey is great because it contains amino acids, electrolytes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds, which can support your overall health. Honey also helps reduce allergy symptoms, is used as a natural medicine to help heal wounds, and is my most used natural sweetener.
2. Stevia. If you have blood sugar issues, are overweight, or have diabetes, then stevia may be the best ...

Stevia:
Steviol glycosides are poorly absorbed in the body and pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract fully intact. Once steviol glycosides reach the colon, gut bacteria convert steviol glycosides into steviol - steviol is then metabolized by the liver before being excreted in the urine. And the steviols have actually been shown to lower insulin and glucose due to its lack of metabolization.
Monk Fruit:
Monk fruit sweetener is made from extract derived from dried fruit - the extract is 150-250 times sweeter than table sugar, has zero calories and carbs, and does not raise blood glucose l...

Artificial sweeteners: sugar-free, but at what cost? Diet Sweeteners with Doctor Mike Hansen
🩺 Ask Doctor Hansen:
https://app.doctormikehansen.com/
A sugar substitute is a food additive that provides a sweet taste like that of sugar while containing significantly less food energy than sugar-based sweeteners, making it a zero-calorie or low-calorie sweetener.
The FDA has approved five artificial sweeteners: saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, and sucralose. It has also approved one natural low-calorie sweetener, stevia.

5 Best Sugar Substitutes: How to Quit Sugar- Thomas DeLauer
My 5 Best Sugar Substitutes plus a bit of extra knowledge! Learn more at http://www.ThomasDeLauer.com
Hey, it's Thomas DeLauer. Today I want to talk about my five favorite sugar substitutes. Five different ingredients that I use to replace traditional refined sugar that is a total load of garbage because it's full of chemicals or it's just so refined it has no nutrients left in it. I'm going to dive right in. The first one that I want to talk about is simply raw honey. I'm talking about pure unadulterated raw honey. The cool thing about honey is that it's not even technically a sugar, but more of a whole food. Contains a lot of different properties like seriously powerful antioxidants, so they help get rid of what's called that reactive oxygen species in our blood, that basically is whenev...

Many people are over-consuming high fructose corn syrup and processed sugars, so I’m going to go over my top five sweeteners that you can easily replace them with.

1. Pure raw honey is great because it contains amino acids, electrolytes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds, which can support your overall health. Honey also helps reduce allergy symptoms, is used as a natural medicine to help heal wounds, and is my most used natural sweetener.
2. Stevia. If you have blood sugar issues, are overweight, or have diabetes, then stevia may be the best sweetener for you. Stevia is a no calorie, all-natural sweetener that comes from a leaf of a flowering plant. Make sure you get the green leaf stevia.
3. Dates are great because they are high in fiber, potassium, minerals, and vitamins. The fiber in dates actually slows down sugar absorption in your body.
4. Coconut sugar. Organic, unrefined, coconut palm sugar is great for baking because it has the equal comparison of 1 cup to 1 cup of regular sugar in a lot of recipes. It’s full of potassium, electrolytes, nutrients, and has a lower glycemic index.
5. 100% organic, Grade B, maple syrup is another great sweetener to use in recipes.
The majority of regular sugar used is from GMO beets and corn, which is highly toxic to the body. Instead, try incorporating these five natural sugar substitutes to satisfy your sweet tooth while you’re taking your health to the next level.

Let’s talk about alternative sweeteners. Trying alternative sweeteners when starting the ketogenic diet can make the transition much easier.
Notice I said alternative sweeteners and not artificial sweeteners. While alternative sweeteners aren’t completely natural, they are less artificial and less harmful than artificial sweeteners.
Keto snacks and desserts often have different kinds of alternative or artificial sweeteners. Trying keto snacks and keto desserts isn’t a bad thing, but it’s crucial to check the ingredients. Just because it’s labeled “keto” doesn’t make it healthy.
Out of all of the sweeteners, erythritol and xylitol* are two of the best. But it’s still better to only consume small amounts.
Monk fruit and stevia are also great options. However, with stevia, it’s important to make sure that the product doesn’t also contain maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is higher on the glycemic index than sugar. Maltitol, agave nectar, and functional fibers should also be avoided.
Including too much of these sugar alcohols (even the good ones) in your diet can cause bloating, fluid retention, diarrhea, and can upset the gut microbiome. They may also prevent you from getting rid of cravings.
I think sugar alternatives are great to help a person transition off of consuming sugar and for an occasional treat—but they shouldn’t be consumed on a regular basis.
*Pet owners should keep in mind that certain alternative sweeteners, like xylitol, can be highly toxic to animals. Sugar alternatives can be found in a wide range of products and may go by different names. It’s best to keep these types of products far out of reach from your pets.

Keto Sweeteners: List of Approved Sugar Substitutes- Thomas DeLauer…
Stevia:
Steviol glycosides are poorly absorbed in the body and pass through the upper gastrointestinal tract fully intact. Once steviol glycosides reach the colon, gut bacteria convert steviol glycosides into steviol - steviol is then metabolized by the liver before being excreted in the urine. And the steviols have actually been shown to lower insulin and glucose due to its lack of metabolization.
Monk Fruit:
Monk fruit sweetener is made from extract derived from dried fruit - the extract is 150-250 times sweeter than table sugar, has zero calories and carbs, and does not raise blood glucose levels
Been shown in studies to reduce NF-kB and decrease the production of inflammatory molecules such as iNOS, COX-2, and IL-6
Erythritol (and other sugar alcohols):
Once sugar alcohols are absorbed they use very little to no insulin to convert to energy - not all of the sugar alcohol passes into the bloodstream, and the rest passes through the small intestine and into the large intestine. Erythritol, however, is considered the safest sugar alcohol as it the most well tolerated in terms of digestive discomfort - it has no effect on blood glucose and has zero calories (naturally found in fruits, vegetables and fermented foods)
Unlike other sugar alcohols (like Xylitol) the laxative effects are not reported to be as common because 90% of Erythritol is absorbed before it enters the large intestine and is excreted via urine
High Fructose Corn Syrup:
When fructose is metabolized, it turns into free fatty acids and triglycerides, which get stored as fat - fatty acids accumulate as fat droplets in your liver and skeletal muscle tissues, causing insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
A byproduct of liver metabolism is that your liver begins to create uric acid, causing blood pressure to increase and can result in gout - also has no effect on ghrelin and has been shown to cause overeating
Table Sugar:
Regular table sugar is broken down into fructose and glucose when it enters the bloodstream
And, as mentioned, excess fructose gets turned into glycogen, becoming a danger for those in a ketogenic state
Honey:
Honey is considered a “nutritionally dense” sweetener, but it’s packed full of fructose
Most processed honey also has added sugars and is usually pasteurized, losing most of the nutritional benefits it has
Additional:
Agave syrup is generally seen as a low GI sweetener - while Agave Syrup is about a 9.6 GI due to low glucose content, it is mostly fructose and very highly processed
It can contain up to 80% fructose which has a very high impact on our blood sugar levels and is typically seen as one of the most damaging sources of sugar
Grey Area
Artificial Sweeteners:
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic sugar substitutes that are regulated by the FDA – can be more than 100x sweeter than sugar and provide a zero calorie alternative
Studies have shown that it’s possible to successfully use artificial sweeteners in a ketogenic diet
One study, published in the journal Epilepsia, subjects successfully stayed in ketosis despite being given saccharin (Sweet’n’low) every day
*Splenda typically contains maltodextrin*
Downside to Artificial Sweeteners:
A study, from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, concluded that saccharin negatively impacts gut bacteria and promotes liver inflammation.
Found that saccharin elevated expression of pro-inflammatory iNOS and TNF-α in liver and indicated that it induced inflammation

Honey:
Honey is considered a “nutritionally dense” sweetener, but it’s packed full of fructose
Most processed honey also has added sugars and is usually pasteurized, losing most of the nutritional benefits it has
Additional:
Agave syrup is generally seen as a low GI sweetener - while Agave Syrup is about a 9.6 GI due to low glucose content, it is mostly fructose and very highly processed
It can contain up to 80% fructose which has a very high impact on our blood sugar levels and is typically seen as one of the most damaging sources of sugar
Grey Area
Artificial Sweeteners:
Artificial sweeteners are synthetic sugar substitutes that are regulated by the FDA – can be more than 100x sweeter than sugar and provide a zero calorie alternative
Studies have shown that it’s possible to successfully use artificial sweeteners in a ketogenic diet
One study, published in the journal Epilepsia, subjects successfully stayed in ketosis despite being given saccharin (Sweet’n’low) every day
*Splenda typically contains maltodextrin*
Downside to Artificial Sweeteners:
A study, from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, concluded that saccharin negatively impacts gut bacteria and promotes liver inflammation.
Found that saccharin elevated expression of pro-inflammatory iNOS and TNF-α in liver and indicated that it induced inflammation

🩺 Ask Doctor Hansen:
https://app.doctormikehansen.com/
A sugar substitute is a food additive that provides a sweet taste like that of sugar while containing significantly less food energy than sugar-based sweeteners, making it a zero-calorie or low-calorie sweetener.
The FDA has approved five artificial sweeteners: saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, and sucralose. It has also approved one natural low-calorie sweetener, stevia.

My 5 Best Sugar Substitutes plus a bit of extra knowledge! Learn more at http://www.ThomasDeLauer.com
Hey, it's Thomas DeLauer. Today I want to talk about my five favorite sugar substitutes. Five different ingredients that I use to replace traditional refined sugar that is a total load of garbage because it's full of chemicals or it's just so refined it has no nutrients left in it. I'm going to dive right in. The first one that I want to talk about is simply raw honey. I'm talking about pure unadulterated raw honey. The cool thing about honey is that it's not even technically a sugar, but more of a whole food. Contains a lot of different properties like seriously powerful antioxidants, so they help get rid of what's called that reactive oxygen species in our blood, that basically is whenever our cells have waste, whenever our cells are going through metabolism they have this reactive oxygen species of waste. Well, honey can actually help eradicate that.
Additionally, if you simply replace your sugar that you would normally be consuming with raw honey you can dramatically reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels. This is because typically speaking raw honey is lower glycemic, which means it's going to have a lower impact on your blood sugar in general, and it means it's going to give you more of a gentle bell curve with your blood sugar levels and your insulin spike versus a big giant sharp spike and drop off. Now, there are some other benefits to raw honey other than the fact that it's sweet, it tastes good and it's a food. It's the fact that it contains bee pollen which has a lot of powerful properties. What this bee pollen can do inside your body is actually act as something that's going to prevent allergies for given local areas, so if you are consuming local honey you can help your allergies out by simply just consuming that honey. It sort of builds up an antibody or sort of a histamine blocker, if you will, basically towards that ultimate allergen.
This is one of my favorite ones, because you've seen my videos on this, when you consume honey you restore your liver glycogen at a different rate than you would if it was just a simple refined sugar. This means you get all the benefits of restoring liver glycogen without the negative side effects. Benefits being, you're simply going to help your serotonin levels out. What happens is, when you consume carbs and your liver glycogen fills up it triggers the release of tryptophan. This tryptophan cascades and helps the production of serotonin which helps you chill out and helps you go to sleep.
The next one I want to talk about is something called dolceti, and it's really not that popular. Honestly, I don't know why. You can find it at Whole Foods, or you can find it at most high end grocery stores. What it is, is an apple nectar and it averages between seven and nine on the glycemic index scale. That's ridiculously low. That's like such a low impact that's like a lettuce.
The next one that I want to talk about are dates. You should go on lots of dates. I mean, you should eat lots of dates. The reason that dates are so good is simply because they're super, super high in fiber which means that in addition to getting the carbohydrate sweet benefit, it negates a lot of the negative impact by having a high amount of fiber, meaning your overall amount of net carbs much less than if you were to just have pure sugar.
One of the ones that a lot of people don't want to simply talk about is that very similar to the prune family they're going to help you out with that irregularity. Let's face it, something we never really want to talk about but we all face it from time to time.
Alright, so the next one I want to talk about is coconut sugar. Coconut sugar has a huge component to it that I am a big, big fan of. That is the fact that coconut sugar contains something called inulin. Inulin is what is called a prebiotic fiber. If you've seen my videos talking about prebiotics and probiotics you know that prebiotics are essentially the fertilizer for gut bacteria. We need that fertilizer for our gut bacteria to grow, to flourish, to proliferate, so that we can actually have a healthy gut biome.
Coconut sugar containing that inulin gives us one of the most powerful and one of the only natural sources of fiber that we can get to help that process. Rather than eating stalks and stalks and stalks of asparagus, maybe just make a pie with some coconut sugar.
Lastly, this is one that you've probably heard of before, and it's simple Agave nectar, coming from that cactus. I'm not talking about making tequila. If you want to go that far you can, but I'm talking about pure Agave syrup. One of the biggest reasons that I'm a fan of Agave Syrup is simply the fact that it's right in the sweet spot when it comes to the glycemic index.
