Bai drink

[John_Conrad]

Do major public health organizations support the use of Erythritol?
Yes. In 2014, one of the nation’s strongest nutrition advocate organizations, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, declared erythritol “safe” in a comprehensive, science-based report on the use of non-nutritive sweeteners. The American Diabetes Association states, “Foods with low- or reduced-calorie sweeteners can have fewer calories than foods made with sugar and other caloric sweeteners. That can be helpful if you’re trying to lose weight or even to prevent weight gain. These products often times also have less carbohydrate which can be helpful in managing blood glucose levels.”

Most studies seem to indicate that those that use artificial sweeteners gain more weight than those that drink the sugar stuff. Counterintuitive, I know.....But you could do what I have done for all of this century, and just drink water, instead.

I saw some at the store the other day for $2 per bottle. I've never had it but will try a sample of it. Otherwise I won't go out of my way to try it. It seems like this company does heavy marketing to push product. So my attitude is, meh.

Now if they have pretty ladies with platters of samples I will act all impressed with it most likely.

Either water or fresh squeezed juices(Orange, Grape fluid ...). No chemical drink.

$2 seems a little stiff!

does anyone have any information regarding the erythritol or stevia-a natural sweetner)

seems that the makers of Bai drink are saying that the erythritol or stevia does not raise blood sugar as much as regular sugar.

perhaps my interpretation is off, let me know.

Yep that's true. Most sugar alcohols (anything ending in ol) will still slightly raise your blood sugar levels but from what I've read erythritol does not. Since Stevia is not a sugar or sugar alcohol, then it won't raise your blood sugar either.
